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.

The role: When someone’s mental health declines, it could be due to the effect of ongoing social problems - such as housing issues, debt or becoming isolated from others. We can provide support in these areas, alleviating the pressures they face and allowing their wellbeing to improve.
As a member of Porchlight’s Community Link Team, you will help people access support related to mental health, physical health, finance, housing, employment and more.

You’ll work with them on a one-to-one basis, assessing their needs, setting goals and helping them become more involved with the local community.

This role involves working closely with other support agencies to make sure people are receiving the most appropriate support for their needs.

This role requires:

Good communication and people skills
The ability to develop constructive relationships with the people we support
The ability to develop strong working relationships with other organisations
Good literacy, numeracy and IT skills.

Benefits: As a member of the Porchlight team, you will have access to a wide range of employee benefits including:
Free life insurance
