We are looking for someone with post qualification experience of working within complex systems and you may have direct experience of working with people who experience homelessness.
You will be excited by the prospect of working innovatively to deliver services locally alongside the Skylight team, as well linking in closely with the wider Psychology team to develop the service. You will be committed towards social justice, and to being an advocate for those we work with and for breaking down the systemic barriers that exclude those who need most support.
We welcome informal conversations to learn more about the role with a member of our Practitioner Psychology Team, please email us and we will arrange a call. If you would like to visit the Skylight prior to applying that can also be arranged.
We believe diversity is a strength, and our aim is to make sure that Crisis truly reflects the communities we serve.
