About us: Porchlight is a charity supporting people who are homeless, vulnerable and isolated. At Porchlight, we are passionate about helping vulnerable people to reach their full potential. We strive for a fairer society where vulnerable people find stability, the most excluded are included, and where homelessness and poverty are things of the past.

What you need:
- A patient and compassionate approach to supporting people who have been homeless for years and find it difficult to accept help.
- Strong communication skills.
- The ability to liaise with other agencies in order to address all of your clients’ support needs.
- Good administrative skills and attention to detais

Benefits: As a member of the Porchlight team, you will have access to a wide range of employee benefits including:
- Free life insurance
- Flexible working hours
- 25 days holiday per year (increasing to 30 days after 5 years service)
- Porchlight pension scheme
