    Brief

    Oldham Council is seeking a provider to operate a 24/7 out-of-hours homelessness telephone service for residents at risk of homelessness outside standard council working hours (9am-5pm, Monday-Friday). The service operates 128 hours per week (5pm-9am Monday-Thursday, 5pm Friday-9am Monday, plus 24 hours Saturday-Sunday and bank holidays). Responsibilities include: triaging calls to determine if households are homeless that evening; conducting mini-assessments for eligibility, homelessness status, and priority need; securing and placing eligible households into temporary accommodation using the Council's framework; maintaining detailed records in the Council's systems; completing shift handover documentation; and referring non-emergency cases to the Homelessness Team. Staff must have knowledge and experience in homelessness services, temporary accommodation, and housing needs, with the ability to signpost residents to support organisations. DBS checks are desirable but not essential. The provider must attend monthly monitoring meetings, submit agreed reports, and immediately notify the Council of any complaints. All calls must be handled professionally and efficiently.
