• Responding to Streetlink referrals and providing an initial point of contact for people rough sleeping
• To work jointly with the council's Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC) funded roles and interventions to reduce the harm to and from those rough sleeping, ensuring a holistic support offer
• To work collaboratively with other services to ensure that needs other than housing are met to reduce a return to rough sleeping once in accommodation
• To co-ordinate and participate in bi-monthly and annual street counts
• Participate in all severe weather protocols, offering a responsive service targeting resources as needed
• To support Islington Council in its community engagement activities relating to rough sleeping
