Off the Record is an award-winning young people’s mental health charity working across Southwest London.  We are currently celebrating our 30th year. Our Vision is Brilliant, Beautiful and Better mental health for all and our mission is to “show up” for all children and young people's mental health in Southwest London. 

We are a passionate, relational, humanistic organization that works hard to provide compassionate and high-quality mental health support at the point that young people need it rather than at the point of availability.  We provide a range of mental health services to children and young people including Talking therapies, online therapeutic support, a young carers service, therapeutic support to young refugees and asylum seekers, young people in the youth justice system and those impacted by serious youth violence.  Since the pandemic we have increasingly focused on ensuring that we are “all back in” and we love working in the communities in which young people live.

We are inspired and energized by young people themselves and continue to develop and shape our services around the ever-changing mental health needs of young people. We are 100 % committed to diversity and inclusion in these challenging times.  We are currently looking for a range of dynamic and passionate professionals who can work thoughtfully and sensitively with young people in our diverse team of experienced and committed professionals.

One final thing you should know. Theres lots of research that shows how marginalized groups may not apply for jobs unless they meet 100% of the qualifications. We also know that mental health practitioners come from a wide range of backgrounds with rich personal and professional experiences that might not seem standard and that's okay! We really value people who bring unique perspectives and add new knowledge to our team.

Job Purpose

The Senior Project Manager is responsible for strategic and operational oversight of the effective delivery of the Creating Community Connections Pilot, ensuring the successful delivery of the pilot project, balancing the demands of supporting the various partnerships between funders, providers, and stakeholders to collectively deliver the required impact and ensure contract compliance.

Creating Community Connections is a three-year Domestic Abuse (DA) pilot Project, funded by HMPPS. The project is led by a partnership of women’s centre providers - Women in Prison, Anawim, Together Women, and Nelson Trust and aims to connect women in prisons with vital specialist community support services across the country, especially women's centres and organisations providing support around DA. By connecting prisons and women in custody to a network of local women’s services, we hope to aid resettlement and support engagement with holistic support to meet women’s needs, address root causes of offending, improve outcomes on release and intercept cycles of trauma, disadvantage, and abuse, with a particular focus on DA services. The project will ultimately support women who have experienced domestic abuse and work with them so that their experiences do not negatively influence their opportunity of successful resettlement back into the community.

1. To lead and take accountability for the delivery of the Creating Community Connections (CCC) project.
2. To actively engage with funders, stakeholders, delivery partners and the internal team(s), to build a solid understanding of the CCC Project.
