GENUINE OCCUPATIONAL REQUIREMENT
In accordance with the Equality Act 2010, Schedule 9, Part 1, it is a genuine occupational requirement (GOR) that the post holder is female. This requirement is essential for the role due to the following reasons:

Female residents may feel uncomfortable or distressed receiving support from a male/male presenting worker during these times, especially in situations involving personal care or emotional vulnerability.
2. Safety and Trust: Many of the residents may have experienced trauma, including domestic violence or abuse, often perpetrated by males. The presence of a female manager helps create a safe and supportive environment where these individuals can feel secure and trust the support being provided
3. Legitimate Aim: The requirement ensures that the MPMT can maintain its commitment to providing gender-sensitive services tailored to the needs of vulnerable females. This aligns with the legitimate aim of protecting residents’ well-being and mental health.
4. Proportionality: The occupational requirement is a proportionate means of achieving the legitimate aim, as it directly addresses the needs of residents in a way that cannot be achieved through alternative measures, such as reallocating duties or employing male/male presenting staff for this role.
This GOR has been carefully considered to ensure compliance with legal standards under the Equality Act 2010 and is applied only where it is essential for fulfilling the primary responsibilities of this specific role.
The successful candidate will be responsible for managing night and weekend operations at our Southeast London housing projects, providing leadership to support workers, ensuring resident safety and wellbeing, and maintaining high standards of service delivery in accordance with the Marsha Phoenix Memorial Trust's mission to support children and young females through secure housing and development opportunities.
ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS

• Provision of two professional referees.
• Residency within a reasonable travelling distance is desirable.
