Homeless Jobs Glasgow

Sadly, Glasgow is one of the hardest-hit parts of the UK when it comes to homelessness. Finding homeless jobs in Glasgow can be a way to get yourself back on your feet, and to afford accommodation moving forward.

Homelessness Support Glasgow

If you find yourself homeless or at risk of being homeless in Glasgow, you can access some help. Glasgow City Council Community Homeless Team may be able to put you in temporary accommodation, and this may allow you to apply for jobs, receive post to a fixed address, and shower and prepare for interviews.

There are other organisations supporting homeless people in Glasgow, including the Simon Community, Shelter Scotland, and the YMCA. Jobcentre Plus may also help you and can advise you on your right to benefits.

Glasgow City Mission also provides a number of services for homeless people in Glasgow, including some employment advice and support and a drop-in centre which provides food and support. The City Mission has support workers who work in the local community and can provide housing support and help homeless people who are at risk.

Suitable Jobs for Homeless People in Glasgow

You may be able to apply for a wide variety of roles. Some of the most common routes back into employment, and roles that employers may be willing to offer to the homeless, include:

• Cleaning. Jobs like street cleaning and litter-picking may be suitable for getting back into work.
• Factory work. Many homeless people have worked in factories in the past, and many roles are available which do not require a high level of qualifications.
• Manual labour. Jobs such as gardening or construction may be available for those who are willing and able to do some manual labour.
• Night crew. Many supermarkets and other businesses are looking for staff to work overnight shifts. This can be a good option to fill the cold evenings.
• Warehouse staff. Working in a warehouse can be a good way to get back into employment, and there are often night shifts available.

With a bit of help and support, it is possible to find work even if you are homeless in Glasgow. It is not easy, but there are some fantastic organisations out there to help.
