About the Role

Mulberry Junction, the Council’s resource centre for single people aged 18-50 affected by or at risk of homelessness in Haringey is seeking a Welcome Worker. The service provides on-the-spot information and support around housing, health and wellbeing to enable people affected by homelessness to achieve their personal goals. 

This is an exciting opportunity to be part of an innovative new service designed in partnership with people affected by homelessness to deliver a service that truly reflects the diversity of Haringey. 

The Welcome Worker is the initial point of contact for people accessing Mulberry Junction and services across Haringey. The role will provide administrative and operational support to the services based at Mulberry Junction to enable its smooth running. The role will be responsible for ensuring the environment is physically welcoming and safe through management of Health and Safety, ordering and calendar management.  

About You 

At Haringey we recognise the valuable contribution offered by people with lived experience and we are interested in hearing from people with personal experience of homelessness, mental health, substance use or criminal justice services. We also encourage applications from Black and Minority Ethnic and Transgender people who are over-represented in homelessness services and under-represented in the workforce. Mulberry Junction supports a high proportion of EEA Nationals who are disproportionally represented in Rough Sleeping Services. We particularly welcome applications from Polish and Romanian speakers.  

We value passion and commitment over professional experience and encourage applicants to consider the transferable skills they have learnt in all areas of their lives.  

We ask that you are:

  • Committed to developing services with the people who use them, to reflect the diversity of Haringey.
  • Committed to working in partnership with other people and organisations.
  • Committed to creating a welcoming, positive and focused environment.
  • Confident communicating to a wide range of people with respect.  

Other Requirements

This post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974. An enhanced disclosure check with the DBS will be undertaken. 

We recognise that people with lived experience of homelessness, mental health and addiction are more likely to come into contact with criminal justice services and encourage people to apply for the role even if they have previous convictions.

Closing Date: Tuesday 16th March 2021
