About the Role
As an Outreach Rough Sleeping Coordinator, you will play a vital role in Westminster City Council’s response to rough sleeping and homelessness. You will oversee rough sleeping, homelessness accommodation, and related services, ensuring support is coordinated and focused on helping individuals move away from street-based lifestyles. This role involves shaping strategy, driving innovation, and fostering collaboration among Members, partners, internal teams, and key stakeholders to reduce rough sleeping and support people with complex needs such as poverty, disadvantage, unemployment, and mental health challenges.

You will lead strategic projects and programmes of change, ensuring delivery against agreed outcomes and continuous service improvement. Partnership working is central to this role, requiring strong relationships across the Council and with external organisations to translate collaboration into practical support.

As a leader, you will guide service delivery, support teams through complex work, and ensure effective use of resources. Your focus will be on outcomes, empathy, and sound judgement to support people at some of the most difficult points in their lives. This is an opportunity to make a significant impact in a high-profile London borough, building on Westminster’s progress, strengthening partnerships, and helping more people move towards safer futures.
