About Specialist Support roles in the homelessness sector

Specialist practitioners work with complex-needs clients experiencing mental health challenges, substance misuse, domestic abuse or offending histories. Roles include mental health link workers, substance misuse practitioners and dual-diagnosis specialists, typically requiring clinical or therapeutic qualifications alongside direct social care experience. These positions sit within multi-agency frameworks commissioned by local authorities, NHS trusts and specialist charities. If you hold a qualification in counselling, psychology, social work or nursing and want to apply it within a homelessness context, specialist support roles offer a rewarding combination of therapeutic practice and case management in some of the most challenging and impactful services.
