How you will make a difference
As a Wellbeing Centre Officer, your main focus will be on responding to the primary needs of our clients when they enter the Wellbeing Centre whether it be setting up the tea & coffee station, clearing away cups, cleaning tables, managing the takeaway food table or entering / collating accurate data

About you
You will have demonstrated experience working in a similar environment, with clients who have complex needs and may, at times, exhibit challenging behaviours.
You will need excellent communication skills in this role as you will be interacting with, and building rapport with people who are experiencing or at risk of homelessness and you will have resilience and
