We are committed to developing our staff, equipping you with the skills and opportunities to advance while making a meaningful impact on the lives of Londoners experiencing homelessness. Here, your commitment and resilience will not only shape futures but also strengthen an organisation that is determined to end homelessness for good.
About you:
- You have experience supporting people facing multiple challenges, such as substance use, mental health issues, trauma, or offending histories.
- You can carry out assessments, create support plans and manage a caseload in a way that is tailored to each individual.
- You understand the barriers that can prevent people from moving towards independence and have the skills to help them overcome these.
- You stay calm and effective in a crisis, with the confidence to respond to difficult situations safely and constructively.
- You believe in people’s strengths and potential, and ideally have experience working within a Psychologically Informed Environment.
- You are organised, able to manage your time well and can balance independent working with being a supportive team member.

Are you looking for a new challenge? Are you keen to work with children to support and develop their phonics and reading skills?
38% of children from disadvantaged backgrounds leave primary school in England each year unable to read to the expected standard. Chapter One is a fast-growing charity, with a vision of a world in which all children have the literacy skills they need to thrive. We work to ensure that all children have 1:1 reading support at the time they need it most.
Our Early Literacy Intervention (ELI) programme (based on a model that serves 20,000 children successfully in the USA) provides daily, 1:1, 7 minute phonics sessions for children who are behind in phonics. Using a bespoke technology tool, a trained Early Literacy Interventionist works individually with target children.
This ELI role, reporting to the Schools Development Manager, is a great opportunity for someone who wants to develop and grow their knowledge of phonics and/or their teaching skill set. It is ideal for someone with previous school experience who is looking for a new and exciting challenge.
You will conduct initial baseline assessments and then deliver differentiated, 1:1, targeted, 7 minute phonics sessions to pupils using a systematic, synthetic approach. Although you are employed by Chapter One, you will work closely with the school team to understand the progression of the school’s phonics teaching; establish tailored plans for each child and feedback on pupil progress. Using your knowledge and insight, you will also collaborate with colleagues at Chapter One to further improve the ELI model, the online tool and programme delivery.
Please read the full job description for details of the responsibilities of the role, and our employee recruitment pack to learn more about Chapter One.
This is a part-time role, based across two primary schools in North London. One school is Millbrook Park CE Primary School, NW7 1JF and the other is The Devonshire Hill Nursery and Primary School, N17 8LB. Our preference is for a candidate who will work across both schools, travelling between them in the middle of the day. However, if you are only interested in working 10 hours per week in one school then please state this in your application.
Closing date for applications: Sunday 21st September at 9pm
Interview date: Thursday 25th September
