Do you want to do a job that genuinely makes a difference?
Are you someone who enjoys helping people, building relationships and being part of your local community? If so, this could be the opportunity for you.
We’re working with a highly reputable and well-established charity in Horsham who are looking for an Outreach Advisor to join their team on a 7-month fixed-term contract.
💚 What will you be doing?
This is a genuinely rewarding role where no two days are likely to look the same.
Rather than being office-based, you’ll be out and about across the local community, meeting residents in different settings, attending community events and talks, carrying out one-to-one appointments and, occasionally, visiting people in their own homes.
You’ll provide practical advice and support across areas such as:
- Benefits and financial support
- Budgeting and managing finances
- Housing
- Employment and accessing opportunities
- Connecting people with relevant local services
A big part of the role will also be building relationships within the community - working with local charities, community groups and partner organisations to develop a strong network of support and make sure residents can access the right help when they need it.
It’s a role where you’ll meet lots of different people, build meaningful relationships and, most importantly, see the difference your support can make.
🌟 What are they looking for?
You might already have experience in advice, community support, outreach, customer service or another people-focused environment.
However, your background isn't everything. We’re looking for someone who is approachable, empathetic and genuinely wants to help others.
You'll ideally be someone who:
- Enjoys meeting and supporting people from different backgrounds
- Is a great listener and communicator
- Can build trust and rapport quickly
- Is confident providing practical advice and guidance
- Is proactive and happy working out in the community
- Can work independently and manage your own appointments and workload
- Is organised and comfortable keeping accurate records
- Most importantly, genuinely wants to make a difference to people’s lives
❤️ Why this role?
If you’re passionate about helping people, this is an opportunity to do work that has real purpose.
Although this is a 7-month fixed-term contract, it’s a fantastic opportunity to build your experience within a highly reputable organisation, with potential future opportunities as the field continues to grow and develop its services.
If you’re looking for a role where you can finish the day knowing you’ve actually helped someone, this could be the opportunity for you.
