Are you looking to work flexibly at the times that you choose, in a variety of roles where you can make a real difference helping homeless people to rebuild their lives?

At St Mungo’s we have a locum bank of approximately 320 casual workers who provide temporary cover, ensuring our services can continue to run smoothly when there are staffing gaps.

We are looking for people who would be interested in joining our locum bank to work across the Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole area.

St Mungo’s runs a street outreach service and a number of supported accommodation projects in the region and our aim is to support people who may be affected by homelessness to recover from the effects of rough sleeping and move away from a street lifestyle permanently by providing them long term support.

Depending on your skills, expertise and preferences, you may be covering Outreach Worker shifts, where you engage with people who are on the streets sleeping rough, or Support Worker shifts in our accommodation services – this may be day or night.

What we’re looking for:

These important roles will suit people with:

  • Some experience of helping vulnerable people to identify personal goals and supporting them through a process of change.

  • An understanding of the issues faced by homeless or vulnerable people and the difficulties they experience in accessing services.

  • Excellent communication skills and the ability to build positive relationships with a wide range of people and deal with those who may be in a difficult personal or emotional situation.

Above all we are looking for inspirational, committed individuals who have a genuine desire to support people to rebuild their lives.

What we can offer you

As a casual locum worker you work flexibly, on an ad hoc or temporary basis and can chose to work the shifts that best fit your circumstances – this can be day or night and covering different level roles, depending on your experience. In order to provide you with ongoing support you will be allocated a supervising manager and you will have access to training to ensure you have the tools to keep our clients safe. We offer enhanced pay for bank holidays and you can also accrue holiday pay.

We pay the following rates of pay:

  • Project Worker: £14.16

  • Outreach Worker: £16.15

Las montañas son también el hogar de muchas especies de plantas y animales, que se adaptan a las condiciones de cada altura. En las zonas bajas, hay bosques frondosos y coloridos. En las zonas altas, hay pastos, flores y nieve. Y en las cumbres, hay silencio, hielo y cielo.

Pero las montañas no son solo paisajes. Son también símbolos de desafío, superación y aprendizaje. Escalar una montaña requiere esfuerzo, perseverancia y valentía. Y al llegar a la cima, se experimenta una sensación de logro, satisfacción y libertad.

¿Y tú? ¿Has subido alguna vez a una montaña? ¿Qué te ha enseñado? ¿Qué te gustaría ver desde allí? Cuéntame tu experiencia en los comentarios. Y si te ha gustado este post, compártelo con tus amigos.

El desierto es un bioma de clima árido, donde las precipitaciones son escasas y el suelo es árido. Aunque parezca un lugar inhóspito, el desierto alberga una gran variedad de plantas y animales adaptados a las duras condiciones de vida. Los desiertos cubren aproximadamente una quinta parte de la superficie terrestre, y se pueden encontrar en todos los continentes. Algunos de los desiertos más famosos son el Sahara, el Gobi, el Atacama y la Antártida.

Aunque los dos son lugares fascinantes y misteriosos, los humanos hemos explorado más el universo que las profundidades marinas. Esto se debe a que el océano presenta condiciones más extremas y hostiles que el espacio, y la tecnología para acceder a él es más limitada. Sin embargo, el océano es vital para la vida en la Tierra, y alberga una gran diversidad de especies y ecosistemas. Por eso, debemos cuidarlo y protegerlo, al igual que al planeta entero.
