Are you a proactive, highly organised and compassionate individual with a proven record of supporting vulnerable young people, who have multiple and complex needs within a supported accommodation setting?  Do you have sound experience of supervising staff and/or volunteers?

If so, St Giles has a highly rewarding opportunity for a Senior Support Worker to join us and to use your expertise to undertake Case Management and support Caseworkers and volunteers.

About St Giles Trust

An ambitious, well-established charity that helps people facing adversity to find jobs, homes and the right support they need.  Central to our ethos is our belief that people with first-hand experience of successfully overcoming issues such as an offending background, homelessness, addictions and gang involvement, hold the key to positive change in others.

About this key role

London Borough of Lambeth is commissioning a trauma-informed, multi-disciplinary residential support service for young people at risk of serious youth violence who are already caught up in the criminal justice system and at high risk of remaining part of the system. The service will work to enable young people to exit environments involving youth violence, reach their goals and aspirations and move on successfully to independent living, and importantly to sustain this life.

As a Senior Support Worker, you will lead by example, be the day-to-day expert within team and be a positive role model to the team of caseworkers and escalate concerns to the Team Leader or Service Manager. We will count on you to work with young people at risk of youth violence in residential settings and to provide support, advice and advocacy to them and their families, regarding accommodation. You will achieve this by using a strength-based approach and working through person-centred support plans designed to promote choice and control for young people.

The service will provide small-scale accommodation outside of Lambeth (London Borough of Brent) for young people, with a maximum length of stay of twelve months. A consortium of service providers will provide support services, alongside accommodation-based provisions to young people accommodated within the service.

What we are looking for

• Proven experience of engaging positively with vulnerable young people or other vulnerable groups 
• Experience of using support plans to enable young people to successfully access and sustain accommodation and support services
• Substantial experience of providing support, advice and advocacy and communicating effectively the needs of young people to other professionals
• Experience of working as part of a multi-agency team in a high intensity environment
• A relevant qualification to a good standard or be working towards one
• Excellent interpersonal, relationship-building and communication skills, both verbal and written
• A flexible, collaborative and professional approach to your work.

Please note this role requires Enhanced Adult and Children DBS Checks.

In return, you can expect a competitive salary, generous leave allowance, staff pension, flexible working, a mentoring programme, an advice and counselling service, season ticket loan and much more. 

We are an equity and inclusion confident employer. We welcome all applications and we particularly encourage applications from people of the global majority (black, brown, multi- heritage) and those who identify as disabled, neuroexpansive, neurodiverse, with any protected characteristics and/or social barriers or challenges. We value the empowering and informative impact that all lived experiences and diversity of thought can offer the organisation. 

St Giles will guarantee to interview all disabled applicants who meet the minimum criteria set out in the Job Description for the vacancy.

ABOUT THE ROLE 

The Chief Operating Officer will lead on our ‘Thrive’ outcome: ensuring that CEE is a strong and sustainable organisation that can serve the community energy sector into the future. 

Working closely with our Chief Executive, this role will be responsible for further developing the operational foundations - our systems and procedures - that allow our Heads of Departments to deliver their services with increasing professionalism and impact, and to grow the team to enable us to continue to impactfully support our growing membership. This role will suit someone who would relish the opportunity to lead and shape new ways of working.

As a member of the CEE team, you will be given the opportunity to continue developing your skills and contribution to the organisation and the sector. Community energy has broad and exciting impacts, and this role will provide varied experience and reach.
