An exciting and unique opportunity to join the team delivering Hope Street, a pioneering, purpose built, county-wide residential community for women and their children.

Our vision is a justice system that recognises, understands, and responds to trauma.

Our mission is to redesign the justice system for women and their children by:

• Redesigning the way that the justice system responds to women and their children in a way that can be replicated on a national scale.
• Educating women involved with the justice system to understand how trauma can affect them and equip them with the skills to respond; and training front-line staff to understand and respond effectively to trauma and adversity.
• Influencing politicians and policy makers to encourage a cultural change across the justice system and the people who work within it.

Trauma informed by design Hope Street is both a safe place and a new way of working alongside women. Hope Street will offer a community within which women and their children can access education, practical, and therapeutic support in a respectful and trusting environment.

As Head of Wellbeing and Community you will be part of a pioneering vision to change a part of the justice system that is failing women and their children at every level. Your focus will be on ensuring that all the provision across the Hope Street Community is underpinned by the five core values of trauma-informed care:

Safety • Trustworthiness • Choice • Collaboration • Empowerment

We are striving for excellence and to redesign the way the current justice system works with women. As part of the leadership team you will help build and model a culture where it is natural to perform well and support colleagues to be the best that they can be. You will deputise for the Community Director in her absence and will also be the designated Safeguarding Lead.

You will be an experienced leader and manager of residential and community-based services for people with multiple vulnerabilities, and have extensive experience and skills in leading, managing and developing staff teams. An understanding of the impact of trauma and a commitment to working consistently in a trauma-informed way are essential for this role.

In addition you will be responsible for ensuring the effective leadership and development of the wider Hope Street Wellbeing and Community staff team to ensure that the provision of the day to day emotional and practical support always meets the One small Thing Gold standards of trauma informed care and responsiveness.

Working closely with the Community Director and the One Small Thing team you will be involved with the detailed planning and design of the service provision, the development of key partnerships, and the recruitment of the Hope Street staff team over the next 12 months to prepare for Hope Street opening in 2022.

Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion: We value and respect all the differences that make us who we are. We want to recruit a team that reflects the local community and that women and children who come to Hope Street can identify with. We want to ensure that we deliver specialist services that meet the diverse needs of all the women in the Hope Street community. We are particularly keen to hear from women:

• Who have experienced custody and involvement with the justice system.
• From Black, Asian, Minority Ethnic, Refugee, Gypsy, Roma, and Traveller communities.
• Who have experienced abuse and exploitation.

Safer Recruitment: Safe recruitment is central to the safeguarding of adults, children, and young people at risk. One Small Thing is committed to the safeguarding of every woman and child who is part of the Hope Street community and expects all employees to share this commitment. Pre-employment checks and an enhanced DBS (Disclosure Barring Service) disclosure will be required for all roles involving direct contact with women and children in our community.

This post is restricted to women due to the nature of the role. The Occupational Requirement under Schedule 9 (part 1) of the Equality Act 2010 applies.

Closing Date: 10am 17th May 2021

Interviews: 24th & 25th May 2021 (There will be an informal interview and an assessment, followed by a formal interview during which you will be asked to give a presentation, details of which will be sent if you are successfully shortlisted).

Charity registered number 1081116

Registered with Limited Liability in England and Wales No: 4004500

Are you an experienced, creative, and highly organised groups facilitator?

Do you care deeply about the welfare of older adults?

Do you have experience in social care or working with people with a wide variety of needs and abilities?

If you answered yes to all of the above, this could be the role for you!

We’re looking for an experienced and skilled individual who will deliver a package of support, including running group activities and one to one assessments, to help reduce loneliness, improve health and wellbeing and increase older adults and their carer’s opportunities to connect to their local community.

What we do

Time & Talents is a lively, busy community centre in the heart of Rotherhithe, SE16.  Set in a leafy heritage building, and ‘T&T2’, our second venue in Surrey Quays Shopping Centre, we offer something for everyone. With a history of 134 years of supporting people of all ages in Rotherhithe and Bermondsey, we bring people together for mutual support, fun and friendship, with a wide range of services and activities for older people and other adults, along with volunteering and children and families’ projects.

We work with around 400 older adults and their carers a year, many of whom are very frail and elderly. Sadly, though they very often get left out: their friendships and networks disappear, family and friends move away, and they end up very lonely and isolated. Once that happens, mental and physical illness too often follow. We believe that surrounding older adults with a welcoming, nurturing community, is vital to improving and maintaining their wellbeing. We also know they want to thrive, create, feel a sense of purpose, and continue living their lives to the full, for their whole lives.

In response to this we offer one to one support and case-working, befriending, and an exciting programme of social and support groups with fully escorted transport. We also run fun events and intergenerational activities to bring the whole community together. From reminiscence, art, music, and health and wellbeing advice, to outings and new and exciting experiences, no two days are the same.

The role

In this role, you'll deliver some of our existing groups, such as our Happy Mondays group, Friday Social Club and a lively Stroke Club. With the support of volunteers and community members, you'll coordinate other smaller peer-led and tutor-led groups (from exercise classes to a mental health support group for older women) and create new groups to be delivered in-person and digitally too.  You will support our Neighbourhood Care Coordination work by carrying out some home assessments on clients to identify their individual needs. Working closely with health, adult social care and voluntary sector organisations, as well as liaising with referees, you will work hard to ensure clients’ and their carers needs are met, providing help with anything from applying for making adaptions in the home to supporting them to get involved in one of our many groups or projects.

A key part of the role is involving older adults and carers themselves in the delivery of the programme as volunteers, and involving people of all ages and backgrounds from the local community - from NHS health professionals to local artists and students. You will also need to build individual relationships of trust with older participants, and work closely with our Neighbourhood Care Coordinator and Older Adult’s Programme Manager to ensure we take a joined-up approach to caring for individuals.

About you

The role needs someone creative, energetic, passionate, but importantly, also highly organised. You must be as comfortable making sure a minibus schedule is up to date, as you are delivering craft activities or quizzes, or as comfortable hosting NHS professionals delivering healthcare advice, as you would be helping run an escorted visit to a local farm. You need to have lots of ideas, and be highly ambitious, but also be able to make your ideas happen. 

Most of all, we need someone who cares deeply about the welfare of older adults and their carers, and is able to react quickly and appropriately to emerging issues – especially to the more serious care issues we inevitably encounter. While appropriate training will be given, we are looking for candidates with some social care experience ideally.

About us

We are an energetic, experienced, and passionate team of 15, with a strong sense of shared purpose and a lively sense of humour. You’ll have the chance to make a big contribution to a growing, ambitious and innovative organisation which has doubled its reach and impact in recent years.

This role is full time, with flexibility for regular evening and occasional weekend working.

Time & Talents is wholly committed to inclusion and diversity, and to building a culture and environment where everyone is appreciated for the unique person that they are. We actively encourage applications from a broad range of backgrounds and experiences.

If you would like an informal chat about the job, please email us with your phone number and a suitable time for us to call.

The closing date is 5:30pm on Monday 24th May.

TO APPLY: All applications to be submitted online via CharityJob. Send a CV and a cover letter of no more than two sides of A4, explaining why you want the job and how your experience relates to the job description and person specification.

IMPORTANT: We’ll use cover letters to assess applications alongside CVs. Please ensure you take the time to include a well-written cover letter as detailed above.  We won’t assess applications without one.

INTERVIEWS: First round interviews will take place on Friday 28th May. Shortlisted candidates will be invited to a second interview on the w/c 31st May.

Coronavirus/COVID-19: the safety and wellbeing of our current and future employees remains a top priority, therefore interviews will be conducted remotely by video if necessary.
