About the Role This is a practical, people-focused role where you’ll work with members of the Gypsy, Roma and Traveller community who may be experiencing difficulties or struggling to access services. You’ll provide clear, reliable information and guidance, helping people navigate issues such as housing, benefits and health. You’ll build trusting relationships, understand individual circumstances and work alongside other organisations to help people get the support they need. You’ll also play an important role in improving understanding between the communities you support and local services, helping to make sure people’s needs are heard and that they can access appropriate support.
