Do you have the resilience and the motivational and inspiring personality it takes to bring a rapid response to a vital service aimed at London’s female rough sleepers?
Managed by St. Mungo’s on behalf of Westminster Council, The Green Room focuses on helping female rough sleepers experiencing or at risk of violence sleeping on the streets of London. Our challenge is to help them off the streets quickly, identify their support needs, link them in with other services and help them find alternative accommodation so they don’t have to sleep out on the streets.
Your focus will be on carrying out comprehensive client assessments and quickly helping to reconnect them with supported networks in their home area or where they have a proven link. We’ll also rely on you to provide each client with personalised case management support and turn their assessment into a practical action plan that fully involves them.
Ideally, you’ll have experience of working with vulnerable people or an understanding of the needs of street homeless people. However, what’s more important is your systematic; yet at the same time flexible approach and ability to work collaboratively with others. Strong communication, influencing and reasoning skills are also key, as is a flair for solving problems. Other qualities include knowing how to network and build effective relationships with people at every level.
Flexibility is required as you may need to do some late nights and early starts.
