Armed Forces Community HQ CIC – Visiting Support Officer

Op FORTITUDE is the pathway for homeless veterans – launched nationally by Veterans’ Minister Johnny Mercer to end veteran homelessness in 2023. It will ensure vulnerable veterans across the country will have access to a new dedicated referral pathway when homeless, including those sleeping on the streets.

Homes at Ease is a partnership led by Armed Forces Community HQ CIC working with Jigsaw Homes, Wigan Council and sector delivery organisations in the Northwest as the Forces Wellbeing Collective.

The post holder will support Veterans who are homeless or at risk of homelessness across the Northwest. Veterans will be supported to access better life chances by navigating through the plethora of statutory and third sector support service available to ultimately maintain their tenancy and make a positive impact on the revolving door of homelessness.

Experience of working in the homelessness/housing sector would be advantageous.
