Job description

Havering, East London

Ref SWH-241

Are you a proactive, highly organised and collaborative individual with a proven record of supporting young people, who have multiple and complex needs within a supported accommodation setting?  Do you have strong experience of engaging positively with vulnerable young people or other vulnerable groups and a sound understanding of relevant policies and legislation?

If so, St Giles has a rewarding career opportunity for a Senior Support Worker to join our dynamic team and use your expertise to work on a vital multi-disciplinary residential support service for young people that will allow them to exit environments involving youth violence, reach their goals and aspirations and move on successfully to independent living and, importantly, to sustain this life.

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

Working as part of a multi-agency team, we will count on you to lead by example, be the day-to-day expert within team, and be a positive role model to the team of caseworkers.  Using a strength-based approach, you will provide support, advice and advocacy for young people and their families regarding accommodation, working through person-centred support plans designed to promote choice and control for young people.  You will ensure, on a day-to-day basis, that all monitoring information and evidence is being recorded and collated correctly, and that you promote inter-agency collaboration in the assessment and planning process and include appropriate agencies in the delivery of the service. 

The delivery of a holistic support service, working solo or with colleagues as the situation dictates, is also a crucial element of this role, where you will provide practical guidance on issues such as social and housing support, ETE options, benefits work, debt advice and cleaning.  Promoting the value of lifestyle changes to the young people being supported and operating within clear professional boundaries are also key duties.

What we are looking for

• Experience of using support plans to enable young people to successfully access and sustain accommodation and support services.

• Experience of providing support, advice and advocacy.

• Substantial experience of assessing risk and implementing safety procedures when thinking about young people involved in or at risk of violence or exploitation.

• Proven experience of working in a high intensity environment.

• A relevant qualification to a good standard or be working towards one.

• Excellent interpersonal, prioritisation and communication skills, verbal and written.

• A flexible, collaborative and professional approach to your work.

As an organisation that works with children and adults at risk we are committed to safeguarding, protecting and promoting the safety of our clients and successful applicants will require an Enhanced Child and Adult with Child Barred DBS Check.

In return, you can expect a competitive salary, generous leave allowance, staff pension, flexible working, a mentoring programme, an advice and counselling service, clinical therapist sessions, life insurance (4 x annual salary), duvet days, season ticket loan, employee perks programme, eye care voucher 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.

To apply, please visit our website via the ‘Apply’ button. We encourage you to apply early as we will be shortlisting as applications come in.

Closing date: 19/04/2024. 11:00pm

 Interview Date: 26/04/2024

Previous applicants need not apply.
