Our Senior Practitioners will provide interim cover across SHP, providing supervisory support where needed to staff teams. This could include our Multiple Disadvantage and Complex Needs accommodation services, Young Peoples Services or Floating Support Services.

If you have an understanding of our client group, are driven to improve the lives of London’s rough sleepers, and would enjoy the challenge and variation of working in a variety of services over the course of a year we would like to hear from you.

About the role and services:

Multiple Disadvantage and Complex Needs: These services provide accommodation and support to people who are moving from rough sleeping and who have needs relating to their mental and physical health, their substance addiction, offending behaviour and mental health. Often at the point of referral, a client’s needs have not been met by any of the services they may require. Part of our role is building the trusting relationships required to put the necessary support in place. Understandably, therefore, these services operate in challenging environments and require resilient and compassionate staff.

Young Peoples' Services: These services are dedicated to providing support to young people, specifically in relation to leaving care, offending behaviour, gang affiliation, complex mental health and anti-social behaviour. We work within a strengths and recovery framework embedded within a trauma informed approach to ensure client needs and aspirations are at the centre of the support planning process. Working in these services would mean overseeing the support and development of the young person’s needs and aspirations. The postholder will hold a caseload of complex cases and will be responsible for supporting the team to manage complex cases. You will guide and signpost the young person to the relevant statutory and non-statutory services and will be key in motivating and coaching the young person to develop independent living skills.

Floating Support Services: Focussed on fostering independence and empowering your clients, we work to support individuals to sustain their tenancy, enhance their wellbeing, build resilience, and achieve their goals and aspirations. Whether assisting with housing issues, addressing mental health concerns, or supporting the development of daily living skills, the primary goal is to enable clients to navigate challenges and lead fulfilling lives. All work undertaken will be in line with planned support, making sure that clients are actively involved and that the support offered is full and holistic. You would be part of a supportive and inclusive work environment that values teamwork and individual growth.

We are looking to recruit permanent staff with these qualities to provide SHP’s clients with consistent support in line with SHP’s values, delivery model, policies and procedures and support planning tools.

As a member of the Peripatetic Senior Practitioner Team, you will move between services and will generally cover a rota ‘line’ until we recruit to the vacancy that the worker is covering, providing interim supervisory support to staff teams as directed by the Team/Service manager. (In Multiple Disadvantage, Complex Needs and Young People Services, covering a rota 'line' will involve working on a rota that includes evening work and may also include regular weekend and Bank Holiday work.) You would then be reassigned to another service in need of your support. The role therefore provides an opportunity to model and share good practice between services.

SHP will support you with a comprehensive induction and training package, including how to work in SHP's trauma-informed support model.

About you:

• A high-level understanding and ability to manage the range of issues involved in the delivery of quality services to clients who may be at risk and who have complex mental health needs.
• Experience and an in-depth understanding of the principles and delivery of risk and needs assessment, planned support, goal setting and advocacy with clients within a recovery and strengths model, and the ability to share this and support others to deliver this.
• Demonstrable aptitude for monitoring, developing and supporting staff performance and the ability to motivate staff members to perform effectively.
• An ability to provide flexible and client centred solutions to problems of behaviour. Also, the ability to embed psychologically informed methods of work within an accommodation setting.
• A demonstrably high level of numeracy, literacy and comprehension in order to be able to contribute to budget setting, monitor expenditure, write reports and review, analyse and extrapolate from written information.
• Ability to co-ordinate the work of a number of individuals or agencies to get tasks completed to time and to specification.
• Strong networking skills, and proven ability to build positive working relationships with internal and external stakeholders in order to establish or improve services to service users.
• Specific skills and expertise support one of the SHP service groups - Adult Multiple Disadvantage and Mental Health Accommodation Services, Young People’s Services or Floating Support Services.

About us:

Our flagship programme has recruited and trained 1000 mental health social workers, and we are extending our reach to ensure that we can support NHS and other employers to recruit and retain key people right across the mental health workforce.

We are now looking for a motivated, ambitious leader to support our dedicated Senior Leadership Team at an important time in our organisational development. You will already have experience in HR management roles, and you are likely to be qualified to CIPD Level 7 or to be working towards it.

You will contribute to the development and implementation of strategic HR initiatives that support Think Ahead’s business objectives and growth plans whilst creating positive sustainable change; and you will have day to day responsibility for the full range of HR functions across our dispersed in-house staff team.

Our vision and inclusive values are at the heart of everything that we do. You will play a key part in promoting Think Ahead’s values, ensuring employees have the means to contribute and that their voices are heard.

You will lead and champion diversity, inclusion, equality and wellbeing throughout the organisation to encourage employee engagement and maximise the positive impact of an anti-discriminatory culture.

And you will create and embed a culture of continuous learning that is committed to supporting employees to achieve high quality performance.

We work flexibly from high quality offices in Central London (Chancery Lane/Farringdon area) and expect people to come into the office at least one or two days per week.

We are open to conversation about flexible working options, including part-time hours.

We have excellent employee benefits, including 28 days annual leave (plus bank holidays), office closure over Christmas, flexible working around our core hours of 10am to 4pm, a matched pension scheme with up 7% employer contributions, an employee assistance programme, a cycle to work scheme, a secure cycle store in the building, a volunteer support scheme, and training and personal development opportunities for all our staff.

If this sounds like the just the opportunity and challenge you’ve been looking for to complement your skills and experience, we will look forward to hearing from you.
