“We’re strengthening our network of support across 12 towns and cities in Northern Ireland, so there are jobs in Belfast, Lisburn, Bangor, Derry/Londonderry and Coleraine to name a few,” said Paddy McGettigan, director of Homelessness Services.

“In addition to the full-time positions available, we also need to further develop our team of casual staff, so the opportunities are perfect for students, or those seeking experience leading to a career in social work, mental health or nursing.

“We are working hard to make homelessness a priority for our government and hope this new compliment of staff can help us achieve our vision and together we can end homelessness.”

Homelessness in the province has doubled in the last 15 years and the charity helps thousands of vulnerable people every year.

The event marks the start of Homelessness Awareness Week which runs from November 30th – December 7th.
