Ref: 106 485

Overall role purpose:

This role is a new and forward-thinking post. Based at the Hope Centre, the successful candidate will work (25 hours a week) directly with clients both as a Key Worker (housing and associated needs) and by creatively designing and running new projects tailored to clients’ needs. We have assessed that at any one time around a third of our clients are at the point to become more independent but need to develop skills to maintain their tenancies and reintegrate into wider society. Therefore, you will scope out and develop new projects aimed at increasing clients’ skills and abilities to prevent the ‘revolving door’ scenario by which clients could move back into homelessness. Project delivery will involve developing links with other organisations and volunteers. Although flexible, it is anticipated that there will be an equal split between working with clients as their Key Worker and on new project development work.

Main Activities:

Key Work:

Our Key Workers have their own set of clients and work as part of the wider but small team. Together the team promotes a warm and welcoming environment where clients feel valued and are encouraged to use all the Centre’s facilities.

• Comprehensive assessment of new clients, undertaking risk assessments including assessing initial and longer-term needs
• Work with clients to plan, implement and review decisions about the range of options on offer
• Provide practical and personal support to clients in an approachable, caring and person-centred way. 
• Follow up with clients by appointment or if in crisis they can drop in
• Advocate and support clients as they navigate their crisis – such as accompanying them to appointments for housing assessments
• Work holistically with clients addressing their homelessness situation, focusing on improvement in confidence and self-esteem and progress towards personal aims and ambitions and work towards achieving them.
• Work as part of a dedicated team to provide safe, high quality, positive and inclusive service to clients

Project Work:

As an exciting and new initiative this role will allow the successful candidate to pioneer a brand new area of Hope4’s work. These projects could include ‘house to home’ skills such as cooking, budgeting, taking up hobbies and developing new friendships and social networks, or experts by experience groups. This role will also involve developing volunteering opportunities for the wider community within these projects. Through this we aim to support each client holistically helping them to ensure they sustain their new homes.

• Working with the Manager to develop project concepts that support and reflect clients’ identified needs
• Lead on project activities including working alongside others in the team to assess clients’ needs and suitability
• Develop a network of agencies and partners in the wider community to support project delivery
• Recruit, lead and motivate a team of volunteers to be envisioned and engaged in supporting and developing project delivery
• Monitor and evaluate project delivery and success

A diverse and dynamic place for all, we are committed to using the Cathedral’s assets and partnerships to make a positive difference in people’s lives. As one of the most significant heritage and community organisations in the Southwest, we remain open for everyone, 365 days a year, providing meaningful activities for a wide range of audiences and welcoming visitors from all over the world.

Since our establishment in 2004, SEA has grown into a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO), which provides advocacy to vulnerable people using housing, health and social care services in Nottingham (shire), as well as further afield in the wider East Midlands region. Our work is highly regarded and provides dedicated person-centred support to a diverse range of advocacy partners, who are either vulnerably housed, experiencing homelessness or suffering from social exclusion.

In early October 2021, our Chair stepped down from his role after two successful terms of leadership, which resulted in growth in key areas across the organisation. SEA is committed to continuing this upward trajectory and we are specifically looking to diversify both our reach and service provision, together with developing our income base within the broader health and social care sector.

The Board of Trustees are now seeking to build on this progress by recruiting a dynamic, visionary and forward-thinking Chair who will provide the necessary guidance and strategic direction to ensure that our organisation remains effective and inclusive and continues to thrive.

We are open to UK based applications, providing the applicant can attend Nottingham based quarterly board meetings in person.
