A Hybrid Role

This role will work across both frontline delivery and input into the administration of the Duty system that underpins all HHPA’s work. It’s anticipated the worker’s role will be split roughly 50/50 across both elements of the work. Having a staff member working across both will give us a valuable insight into how frontline and Duty can work better together.  It is also a good opportunity for the worker to gain experience in all aspects of project delivery, which could be a valuable first step for anyone interested in project management or leadership.

The Duty work

The HHPA Duty Team makes sure the Homeless Health Peer Advocacy service runs safely and smoothly. They handle bookings from partner organisations, match referrals with Peer Advocates, and organise all the practical details – like booking transport, giving travel directions, and confirming who will attend each appointment. They use a specially designed Salesforce database to keep track of appointments, update records, and measure the impact of the service. A key part of their job is running the Duty System, which checks Peer Advocates in and out of jobs so that everyone is safe and supported.

The team is also the main point of contact for partners, frontline staff, and volunteers. They answer questions, make sure referrals have all the right information, and keep everything running to schedule. They look after data security, maintain good relationships with partner agencies, and make sure volunteers and workers have what they need to do their work well. By taking care of the behind-the-scenes work, the Duty Team frees up the frontline team to focus on supporting people to attend healthcare appointments and improve their health.

The pan-London Caseworker work

We need this role to support people experiencing homelessness in Boroughs where support needs are extremely high, but where we don't have the capacity or flexibility through our other funding to meet their needs. Most of our Caseworkers are funded by individual Boroughs and can only work in that area.  This role will be able to work in any of the Boroughs where we deliver HHPA so will give us the flexibility to go to where the need is greatest rather than being fixed in a single local authority area. As a more senior role in our HHPA service, the Caseworker will use their skills and experience to focus on people in the most complex and difficult situations, including those grappling multiple connected issues around physical and mental health, addiction, trauma, disabilities, and more.

Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion

At CoppaFeel! we support a diverse range of communities and we understand that diversity within our team is central and crucial to meeting the needs of the young people we exist to serve. We strongly encourage applications from Black, and people of colour, LGBTQIA+ candidates, candidates with disabilities, from men, and from those with a lived experience of cancer because we would like to increase the representation of these groups within the charity.

We promote equality, diversity and inclusion in our workplace and make recruitment decisions by matching the charity's needs with the skills and experience of candidates, irrespective of age, disability (including hidden disabilities), gender, gender identity or gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, or sexual orientation. We recognise the value in encouraging a diverse range of perspectives, skills, experience and knowledge at the charity.

While the successful candidate will be selected purely on merit, in the event of a tie between two candidates with equal suitability, we may select a candidate with lived experience of the issues we are seeking to address through our work.

We are a Disability Confident Employer and we commit to offering an interview for all applicants with disabilities who meet our required criteria for the role. If you have any accessibility requirements or need any adjustments for the interview process please get in touch.

Prospectus is delighted to be working with an incredibly impactful membership organisation, dedicated to transforming the lives of carers through its membership network of over 130 local carer organisations.  They are now recruiting for a Programme Officer, initially on a 6-month FTC, who will work to support the development and delivery of a unique, external-facing quality framework for Health and Care providers.

As Programme Officer you will work as part of a small, tight-knit team, supporting the Programme Lead in the development, delivery and evaluation of the programme, which focuses on a quality improvement framework across mental health providers. You will contribute to the growth of the network through stewarding new joiners through the membership process and maintaining a register of member’s progress through the improvement framework. You will facilitate opportunities for member and carer engagement and will coordinate and support key programme meetings (such as peer review panels and regional membership meetings).

This role would suit someone looking for an opportunity to build upon and develop their account management experience and strong programme delivery skills. You will be motivated to achieve a positive impact for network members, have a keen eye for detail and a commitment to continuous improvement. You will have experience of working with programme management processes and systems and will have experience of report creation to share information and data to internal and external stakeholders.

Please apply by submitting your CV in Word format (cover letters are not required at this stage).

As a specialist recruitment practice, we are committed to building inclusive and diverse organisations and welcome applications from all sections of the community. We are invested in supporting you through your application journey.

Please note this role will initially be a 6-month fixed term contract with possibility of extension. This will be hybrid-working (1-2 days in the office).

Due to the need to secure the right person for this role, we will prioritise candidates who are available immediately or have no more than a 2 week notice period.  If you’re availability is slightly longer that this, please still feel welcome to reach out to us.
