Does anybody work for a housing charity or with homeless people?

[PirateJelly]

I have an interview on monday with a housing charity (gulp)

It's for a support worker role working with homeless people giving them advice and life skills etc.

I'm just wondering if there are any current issues/ buzz words I should swott up on as I don't really have a clue about this sector although I have volunteered in a 'helping and advice' role before so can use some examples from that.

The person spec is very vauge so I can't use that. Help!!

Hi i have an interview on Thursday and I'm really nervous. I've been a volunteer at the hostel for about eight months now and I'm applying for relief work. Could you please tell me what you would ask at an interview, so I could have some idea. The hostel is a homeless hostel and the clients have alcohol and substance misuse issues. Questions I'd probably be asked would be, "what would you do if somebody was aggressive or fighting".your help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks noel.
