Who We Are –

Merchants Quay Ireland is a national voluntary organisation who helps people who are Homeless and those caught in addiction. We provide frontline services , practical supports, pathways towards recovery and innovative responses to the issues of drug use and homelessness in Ireland.

Our Vision is one of an “inclusive society” where the integration and well-being of all is supported and everyone is treated with Dignity and Respect. Our Mission is to work as a collaborative community to reduce the harm caused by addiction and homelessness. We provide accessible, high quality and effective services, which meet the complex needs in a non judgemental and compassionate way.

The Community Engagement Team supports local residents and businesses within the surrounding areas of the MQI Riverbank service offering advice whilst also removing drug paraphernalia and disposing of used needles. We also link with rough sleepers in the area regarding drug use, anti-social behaviour and drug overdoses.

The role is centred on maintaining a safe, supportive, and welcoming environment in and around MQI’s Riverbank Open Access Day Centre. A key aspect of the position involves carrying out regular patrols (outreach) of the surrounding area to monitor activity, address community concerns, and ensure the space is clean and safe for clients, staff, and the public.

The post-holder will engage directly with clients accessing MQI services, offering respectful, non-judgmental support while safely managing challenging behaviour when required. In addition, the role involves positive engagement with members of the public, local residents, businesses, and community partners by fostering trust, addressing issues promptly, and promoting understanding of the services provided at Riverbank.

Overall, the role plays a vital part in strengthening community relations, supporting harm-reduction goals, and ensuring the Riverbank Centre operates smoothly and safely for all.

Manage and de-escalate challenging behaviours presented by clients.
Maintain a visible presence on the street during service operating hours to support public safety and community engagement.
Support the provision of safe, high-quality and holistic services to clients accessing Open Access Services- the one-stop service located at Riverbank.
Monitor and manage the Open Access Service client queuing area as required.

Environment Community Safety

Maintain cleanliness and safety around the building, including litter and drug-paraphernalia pick-up.
Conduct routine drug paraphernalia/syringe collection in surrounding areas and respond to community calls to remove drug-related litter.
Provide information and referrals to harm-reduction supports and other appropriate services.

Fire safety
Health Safety
Confidentiality
Needs assessment, key working, and care planning
Professional boundaries
National Standards for Safer Better Healthcare
