Shelter is a basic human need

Lifeline Harrogate work with homeless people, and those vulnerably housed often having been victims of abuse.  We currently provide supported accommodation to 15 men and 3 women in six 3-bedroom houses within Harrogate. 

 
We housed our first residents in February 2013 and since then have housed 131 people over 40,000 nights with a 93% occupancy level. 

Our remit is to provide supported housing to those who need significant elements of care, support or supervision so we deal with the more entrenched issues that are acting as barriers to progress. Lifeline is well known in the area and referrals are constant. 

A housing officer from North Yorkshire Council recently said ‘You really do offer a unique service for people. When we visited your houses it was clear how homely you make them and the amount of support that is on offer.”
 


We are a Christian charity housing people without discrimination or favour. We are continually inspired by the scripture in the book of Isaiah which says: “My people will live in peaceful dwelling places, in secure homes, in undisturbed places of rest” (Isaiah 32:18)

We are recruiting!

In 2012 Carl and Georgie Good set up a registered charity called ‘Lifeline Harrogate’.  Lifeline houses people who otherwise would be homeless.  We work in partnership with other homeless agencies in Harrogate including Harrogate Homeless Project, North Yorkshire Council, Probation, Shelter and Horizon Life Training.  We have a partnership with the national Charity Green Pastures (www.greeenpastures.net) who have bought Lifeline seven lovely 3-bedroom houses in the town which we use to house and support people to transition them towards full independence.

We have a vacancy for a Housing and Support Officer to work with some of our residents to provide move-on opportunities for those people who need a fresh-start.  This is a part-time post, 22.5 hours a week which has the possibility of more hours as we expand our operations.  The housing element of the work covers many landlord type duties, and the support element involves working with the resident through an agreed support plan.
This is a post that requires, amongst many other traits, character, determination and patience.
Lifeline is a Christian Charity and so due to the strong Christian ethos which underpins the values of Lifeline and its service delivery there is a genuine operational requirement for the postholder to be a practising Christian.

If you are interested, please could you provide your CV, application form and covering letter stating why you feel this role would be suitable for you.
