About Us

Bridges Outcomes Partnerships (BOP) is a not-for-profit social enterprise that works alongside Government, community groups and specialist Delivery partners to design and deliver vital services that support people to improve their lives, in areas ranging from housing and employment to education and health & wellbeing.

About the opportunity

3. Navigating Systems and Opening Doors

• Maintain a strong understanding of local resources across housing, welfare, employment, and wellbeing.

• Connect people with the right services at the right time, advocating where needed to remove barriers to access.

• Help individuals build the skills and confidence to engage with public services independently.

4. Working Across Charity Partners

• Be deployed across different partner organisations within our charity network, responding to local pressures and adapting quickly to diverse environments.

• Provide short- to medium-term casework that enhances existing team capacity and ensures continuity of support for people at risk of homelessness.

• Maintain high standards of person-centred support regardless of setting or location.

5. Information Sharing and Case Recording

• Keep accurate and respectful records of client engagement, plans, and outcomes using agreed systems.

• Follow all data protection and confidentiality protocols, contributing to a culture of trust and transparency.

• Share insights that support continuous service improvement and learning across partners.

6. Collaboration and Partnership Working

• Work constructively with colleagues from across public, voluntary, and community sectors to coordinate holistic support.

• Represent the service positively, contributing to shared efforts in preventing and relieving homelessness.

• Communicate openly and clearly with internal teams and external partners to align support and improve outcomes.

7. Promoting Inclusion and Long-Term Independence

• Support individuals to build resilience and reduce isolation through access to meaningful activities, networks, and learning opportunities.

• Champion inclusive, strength-based approaches that support people to regain control and plan for a more secure future.

8. Safety and Wellbeing

• Adhere to all organisational health and safety procedures, taking personal responsibility for your own safety and that of others.

• Apply safeguarding principles and respond appropriately to risk and concern in community settings.

9. Team Learning and Development

• Engage in supervision, reflection, and training opportunities across partner teams.

• Stay open to feedback and committed to your own professional growth and development.

South Bank Students Union is a non-for-profit organisation, which champions social mobility through education and has a vision to disrupt the cycle of inequality in higher education. 

​

We are looking for a Student Voice Coordinator to join our new team as we embark on a five-year strategy to transform the way we engage and support students to help them reach their full potential.​

​

​

Nowhere is inequality in our education system more recognisable than in higher education, where those from the most privileged backgrounds still have the most equity and most chances to achieve and succeed.

​

South Bank students have high expectations and ambitions for themselves but lead complex lives where they are faced with the pressures of trying to balance their studies with work and juggling their lives at home. In fact, many don't identify primarily as students, but instead as carers, nurses, engineers, parents, designers, workers, entrepreneurs, apprentices, last chance learners and Londoners. 

​

At South Bank Students' Union we believe that a student's background and life circumstances should not put them at an educational disadvantage, and all students deserve a high-quality University experience and the chance to graduate equipped with the tools to succeed in life - this role is at the heart of this work. 

​

Alongside our current Student Voice Coordinator, the person in this role will be responsible for delivering the Union’s key Student Voice programmes which include: our course rep scheme; student issues tracking; focus groups and officer insight campaigns. They will also provide support for student leaders. This includes supporting the effective election, induction and ongoing development of the Union’s President, Lead Representatives and democratic processes.

​

We are looking for someone who can truly understand the lived experiences of those who have faced societal barriers to participation, and who is motivated by delivering work which aims to challenge and remove these norms. 

​

​

Commitment to Equality, Diversity & Inclusion

​

SBSU’s simple vision of disrupting inequality is the heartbeat of the organisation and it is this which steers its decisions, practice, and priorities. It unifies our services, and it drives our staff to remove societal barriers so that all people can achieve their full potential.

​

SBSU believes that in order to truly disrupt inequality for its members, it must also strive to do this for its workforce – in short, staff must experience it in order to deliver it!

​

Our Union benefits enormously from having a team of staff with a range of diverse lived experiences. We understand that some life circumstances might be more complex, and that some will have had to overcome more barriers. We value the unique perspectives that are formed by an individual’s background and believe that ‘bringing your whole self to work’ is essential for informed decision making and collaboration and paves the way for high performance so we welcome applications from all, especially if your background and circumstances are traditionally under-represented in the workplace.
