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.

The vacancy

Could you be a part time Caseworker - Young People for vulnerable young people aged between 16 to 25 years? Could you give them the support and guidance they need to get back on their feet and live independently?

The young people we work with have become homeless for a number of reasons – isolation or mental ill health, abusive relationships, substance misuse, involvement in gangs/county lines - their issues are complex so you will need to be able to build strong, trusting relationships so that our customers feel safe and supported. 

We have a part time opportunity for a Caseworker - Young People, at our Ofsted registered scheme in St Albans which provides temporary housing for young people who are experiencing homelessness. 

A bit about the role:

As a part time Caseworker - Young People, you will be working with a team of highly motivated, compassionate, and dedicated colleagues supporting a caseload of young customers with complex needs. You’ll need to meet each customer weekly to help them with their goals and discuss their progress. And, when someone’s ready to move on, we'll rely on you to help them access the housing register or look for suitable rented accommodation.

What we’re looking for:

You may have worked with vulnerable young people in a paid or voluntary capacity, maybe as a Youth Worker or in an education setting providing pastoral care. You’re a great relationship builder, who can create trust so that our young people feel comfortable sharing their issues with you, you listen but in a non-judgemental way and you are able to spot signs for concern and act on them.

You’ll also need to be able to work on your own, sometimes dealing with challenging situations and diffusing them to avoid escalation. Is this you?

• Relationship building skills.
• Empathy
• Great listening skills
• Diplomacy and the ability to deal with challenging situations and diffuse them
• Non-judgmental
• Proactive and assertive

This role will require an Enhanced DBS check.

It is essential that you can work more than 20 hours per week because the contract is for 20-day hours plus one sleep in per week (which amounts to up to an extra income of up to £3,842.28 per year on top of your annual salary).

Shifts are across 7 days per week, so includes weekends and bank holidays.

Rotas will be issued four weeks in advance and will include working between the hours of 8AM to 11PM, no more than 7.5 hours each day.

Sleep ins will start from 11PM. 

Please note, we are not a UK licenced sponsor and any sponsorship with another employer is not valid for this role.

If appointed your job title will be Housing Support Worker. 

A bit about us: 

It started over 160 years ago with one man’s desire to improve the lives of poverty-stricken Londoners.

Today, we have 107,000 homes and 220,000 residents across London and the Home Counties and around 20,000 care and support customers. But the desire remains the same – to create homes and communities where people can flourish. 

Here just a few of the benefits for working at Peabody:

• 25 days’ annual holiday plus bank holidays  
• Flexible benefits scheme, including options for Healthcare, Dental care, Critical illness cover, vouchers, technology scheme and access to a discount portal.
• 4 x Life Assurance
