Service Manager

Are you interested in supporting people at immediate risk of rough sleeping and making a real difference to the lives of people experiencing homelessness in London?

Rough sleeping data shows that migrants make up more than 50% of the people rough sleeping in London. The MAPS service provides a rapid intervention to support clients who are migrants and rough sleeping in London to find a route into accommodation that is suitable and sustainable in the UK or elsewhere in the world. We are looking for someone to join our team as a Service Manager where you will:

· Lead a well-established flagship service within St Mungo’s and help develop best practice in support for non-UK nationals sleeping rough in London

· Support a team of Coordinators and Assessment and Reconnection workers to identify and deliver effective routes off the streets for non-UK nationals.

· Through the practice of the team, evidence the barriers to ending rough sleeping amongst Non UK nationals and work collaboratively across the sector to address them

· While your usual working hours will be from Monday to Friday, 9am-5pm, occasional work during early or late hours may occur in response to challenging situations and to prevent rough sleeping.

About you

We are a small team so try to maximise our resources and find creative solutions to resolve people’s homelessness. Due to the legislative climate in which we work, accommodation options are often limited for our client group, and so we are looking for someone who can be flexible, proactive and is passionate about working migrants.

Ideally you would have experience of working with vulnerable people and an understanding of the needs and support requirements of this client group, particularly non-UK nationals.

We are particularly interested in hearing from you if you have lived experience of migration and/or speak additional languages to English.

St Mungo's are committed to creating a diverse and inclusive workplace. We strongly encourage applications from all under-represented groups.
