About Strength and Learning Through Horses :

Strength & Learning Through Horses provides mental health and education support to some of London’s most vulnerable young people through offering equine assisted therapy and alternative education programmes. The organisation’s ability to deliver excellence in its service quality is dependent upon a skilled and competent workforce where learning and continuous improvement is a fundamental aim.  Central to this role is the ability to work according to the organisation’s core values of:

• Respect
• Ambition: for young people, SLTH and ourselves as individuals
• Curiosity without judgment (about human and equine behaviours)
• Embrace difference: a variety of perspectives & life experiences are essential
• Embrace difficulty; it’s where the learning happens
• Commitment to always improving; & owning areas that improvement is required

Strength & Learning Through Horses has been in operation for over 10 years and has grown year on year in terms of income and number of young people reached and number of services we offer.

We have 5 full time and 8 part time contracted staff members, 18 freelance staff members and work with 15 volunteers. 400 – 500 young people per year benefit from our life changing services; our hope is that this will increase to 700+ per year from 2027 once the building project at our site is complete. We have ambitious longer-term plans for growth.

We have been operating in North London for over 10 years from a small stable, after our lease sadly came to an end in January 2023 we moved to our long term home. This was a derelict stable owned by the Council which we have secured via a 25 year lease. In 2022-23 we raised £300,000 to get the site usable as an equine therapy centre although it is still very run down with much of it boarded up a derelict.

Job title: Early Literacy Interventionist (Bourne Primary School, Eastbourne)

Are you looking for a new challenge? Are you keen to work with children to support and develop their phonics and reading skills? 

38% of children from disadvantaged backgrounds leave primary school in England each year unable to read to the expected standard. Chapter One is a fast-growing charity, with a vision of a world in which all children have the literacy skills they need to thrive. We work to ensure that all children have 1:1 reading support at the time they need it most.

Our Early Literacy Intervention (ELI) programme (based on a model that serves 20,000 children successfully in the USA) provides daily, 1:1, 7 minute phonics sessions for children who are behind in phonics. Using a bespoke technology tool, a trained Early Literacy Interventionist works individually with target children. 

This ELI role, reporting to the Schools Development Manager, is a great opportunity for someone who wants to develop and grow their knowledge of phonics and/or their teaching skill set. 

You will conduct an initial baseline assessment and then deliver differentiated, 1:1, targeted, 7 minute phonics sessions to pupils using a systematic, synthetic approach. Although you are employed by Chapter One, you will work closely with the school team to understand the progression of the school’s phonics teaching; establish tailored plans for each child and feedback on pupil progress. Using your knowledge and insight, you will also collaborate with colleagues at Chapter One to further improve the ELI model, the online tool and programme delivery.

Chapter One is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We value and celebrate diversity in backgrounds and experience and are deliberate about the kind of teams we are building. Literacy is a universal concern, and we need people from all backgrounds to maximise our innovation, creativity and impact. We especially welcome applications from persons who have experienced disadvantage and/or from those who are of Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic communities who are currently underrepresented in the organisation. 

As a high-performing Registered Healthcare Professional, you can make a real difference in the lives of some of the most vulnerable and stigmatised people in our communities. Join an organisation that values you as much as the people it supports.

The Role

The Clinical Lead is a critically important role within the service, providing leadership, coordination and delivery of the prescribing and clinical elements within this integrated substance use service. 

You will be a registered healthcare professional, that can prescribe for people needing substance misuse interventions.  However, we are flexible about the discipline you have and the hours you work (i.e., you could be an independent prescriber (Nurse or Pharmacist) GP or Consultant).

So, this is an excellent opportunity to work with us in creating a role that fits your needs as much as it fits ours.  As such we would consider a part time or job share for the right person/people, so if full time working doesn’t suit you, this may be the right role!

Though you will:

· have a strong background and experience in providing clinical support, to ensure that we are consistently offering a high quality, clinically excellent, recovery-focused service to people with problematic substance use.

· provide excellent clinical leadership and clinical supervision to healthcare staff within the Via Cheshire West & Chester service, and support to GPs and Pharmacies involved in the provision of treatment services to people who use substances across the area.

· be an effective, engaged and active part of the local management and leadership team, contributing to the overall performance of the service to ensure that contractual output targets are achieved.

· be ready to be supported by Via’s wider senior leadership and clinical department, for example to receive clinical supervision and support for complex cases where required.

Every day can be different, so it is critical that you are able to work well in changing circumstances, and as such we are looking for a proven high performing individual with excellent joint working and communication skills.

Please refer to the Job Description for more information.

The Service

Via is a charity dedicated to the belief that we can make a difference to lives of those who use our services, offering support and respect in a safe environment, treating each person as an individual and working with them to find the right support options.

Via’s Cheshire West & Chester service is an adult and young person treatment and recovery service which offers a range of pharmacological and psycho-social interventions to the community for support in relation to drug and or alcohol use.
