RoadPeace has been commissioned by West Mercia Police and Crime Commissioner to pilot a new project in Shrewsbury and launch new services for road crash victims. These services include a Victim Care Coordinator who will work closely with local police and be based within the West Mercia Victim Advice Line (VAL) providing support to seriously injured road crash victims.

We are looking for a self-motivated and community-minded individual to provide a social prescribing service to people over the age of 18 living in the London Borough of Lewisham.

Community Connections Lewisham is a preventative social prescribing project, delivered by Age UK Lewisham and Southwark, aiming to improve the health and wellbeing of vulnerable adults across the borough of Lewisham. We achieve this through working with both individuals who want connecting to services, and the community groups they access. We support people to find:

• Local community groups and access to social opportunities
• Help with staying active
• Befriending and practical assistance (food shopping, odd jobs, etc.)
• New opportunities for employment, training and learning
• Volunteering opportunities and opportunities for participation in local projects

Community Facilitators take a holistic person-centred approach, connecting people to community groups and statutory services for practical and emotional support. They support their clients to tackle the wider determinants of health, such a debt, poor housing and physical inactivity. Community Facilitators strengthen community resilience and personal resilience, thus reducing health inequalities in the borough.

This rewarding role will see you support people on a short-term basis, helping and motivating them to make the changes they want to see in their lives. As well as interacting with the public, you will build relationships with Lewisham's local community groups and services and the wide range of professionals that refer into our project. This means you will get first-hand experience of Health and Social Care practice in London as well as an understanding of the sector and how it works. There will be opportunities to attend meetings and events, including forums with other Social Prescribers - helping you to gain an understanding of the rapidly growing way of delivering support.

We are looking for good listeners and positive thinkers, with exceptional abilities in organisation and administration. If you are passionate about helping those that need it, we want to hear from you.

Quality Standards Co-ordinator (Exempt Accommodation) 

Overview 

Over the last decade, the structures and processes underpinning the housing market have led to increasing homelessness and insecure poor quality accommodation. Passivity and the absence of effective regulation penalises some of our most vulnerable citizens. Whilst this is a national issue, many of the resolutions sit within local systems.

Increasing use of ‘exempt accommodation’ to house vulnerable people has been an accelerating trend across the last decade. Both commissioned and non-commissioned provision have successfully averted homelessness. However, our focus is on the non-commissioned provision that forms the majority of the offer as currently the accommodation is without any external assessment, or assurance that the minimal support, care and supervision is being provided. 

Aside from the direct impact on vulnerable citizens, Birmingham City Council has formally recognised the wider implications of increasing use of exempt accommodation. These include: 

1. Additional pressures on statutory agencies 

2. Reduced public safety 

3. Loss of private rented sector homes. 

4. Increase in referrals from outside of the city.

5. Loss of economic independence of residents and tenants 

6. Poor alignment with ‘care, support and supervision’ needs for individual residents. 

To address these challenges we all need to work as partners in improving the housing in the city. The Quality Standards alongside the ‘Charter of Rights’ aims to support this complex issue.

We are recruiting to the following role: 

Quality Standards Co-ordinator (Exempt Accommodation) 
SO2 SCP 32  (£28,203)

Location: Blend of home working, Central Birmingham Office Based and Community Visits)

The quality standards framework around non-commissioned exempt accommodation is a new approach with an aim to create consistency and transparency for current or potential residents and referring agencies. 

You will play a pivotal role in the co-ordination and delivery of quality standards for exempt accommodation and associated activity. You will act as the point of contact for providers to advise, guide and support on the aims and delivery of the Quality Standards.

With a robust understanding of the experience of people within exempt accommodation in Birmingham, the successful candidate will be responsible for the development and ongoing maintenance of a robust quality management framework through Co-production with partners. 

The successful candidate will be required to support a delivery plan for the work including, milestones, outputs, outcomes and potential new priorities, as well as to co-ordinate the activity associated with the quality standards that supports the ongoing financial sustainability of the project.  This will involve desktop reviews and onsite visits against the quality standards.

ABOUT YOU 

The ideal candidate will be forward thinking, proactive and driven to achieve positive outcomes. You will have excellent communication, and organisational skills, ideally with experience in engaging with the housing sector and/or assessment of quality standards within a support setting. A proven ability to adhere to processes and set standards or performance management. Work well both independently and as part of a team. The ability to motivate a diverse range of stakeholders to develop best practice. You will also demonstrate that you share BVSC’s values, possess drive to shape this new and exciting role.

We are looking for candidates that can demonstrate the following BVSC organisational values:

COMMITMENT: Making a positive difference through passion, innovation and social action. 

COLLABORATION: Connecting people and organisations to work together to improve lives. 

INCLUSION: Empowering and involving everyone in creating a fair and equitable Birmingham.
