Homeless Health Link Worker Jobs in London

Are you an empathetic, patient individual, who wants to make a difference to the lives of vulnerable people? Prospectus is delighted to have partnered with Healthy Living Projects (HLP), a well-established organisation in East London that has been delivering crucial services to the local community for over twenty years. They are now looking for a Health Advocate on a fixed-term basis for an initial period of 12 months to join their Welcome Project team.
 
Based in the purpose-built centre in Ilford, the Welcome Project provides advice and guidance on a range of issues associated with homelessness; practical support; support with entering the job market; a nurse led clinic; counselling; alternative therapies and a chiropody clinic. As a Health Advocate you will work to improve both the mental and physical health of those who access HLP’s various services, helping to enable homeless and vulnerable adults to live independent and fulfilled lives.
 
As part of this role you will work both one-on-one with clients, providing advice and guidance, developing support/actions plans to help them tackle difficulties they may be experiencing, but also organising group sessions and practical workshops that address barriers to living independently including life skills, employability and relationships.
 
Working alongside the Welcome Project team, you will be involved in the development of new policies, procedures and initiatives, and contribute towards the development and implementation of strategies to tackle homelessness.
 
Partnership working is key in this role; you will regularly review support plans and liaise with other professionals such as social workers, probation officers and psychiatric nurses where necessary. You will also develop and maintain links with key service providers, and make referrals to other agencies, both statutory and voluntary, where issues raised require more specialised help.
 
Ideal candidates will have experience of working with socially isolated and hard to reach individuals, and a knowledge and understanding of areas such as homelessness, mental health and substance abuse. An ability to build effective and positive working relationships with clients and project partners is essential, as is a non-judgemental and empathetic outlook. A background in health or social services would be helpful but is by no means necessary. Knowledge of housing law and tenancy rights would also be useful. The post is funded through the NHS for an initial 12 month period, with a view to secure an extension.
Please apply with your CV only in the first instance (in Microsoft Word format). Cover letters are not required at this stage. We are reviewing CVs on an ongoing basis, so it is highly recommended to submit your application as soon as possible.
 
As a specialist Recruitment Practice Prospectus is committed to building inclusive and diverse organisations, and welcome applications from all sections of the community. Prospectus invests in your journey as a candidate and is committed to supporting you in your application.

Hours: Full time: 37.5 hours per week

Groundswell are recruiting a Peer Coordinator to support volunteers with lived experience of homelessness, also referred to as ‘peers’, to participate in projects tackling homelessness in London. Groundswell have extensive experience in developing and delivering peer-led projects that harness people’s insight and experience of homelessness to tackle issues and coproduce new solutions. We work with NHS services, local authorities and other service providers supporting people experiencing homelessness, to ensure that the views of people who have gone through similar challenges are included in the design and delivery of services. This not only leads to the provision of services better suited to people’s needs, but also supports the progression and recovery of peers involved in participation activities.

The Peer Coordinator will draw on Groundswell’s experience in building participatory networks, bringing people together to advise on meaningful ways to involve people with experience of homelessness in system change and service improvement. Our networks of peers examine the positive and negative roles that services have played in their lives and wellbeing, identify common themes in their experiences, explore and test new approaches to problems they face. The Peer Coordinator will support peers to take part in these activities in a meaningful, accessible and psychologically safe way. They will also build relationships with service providers in London, to ensure that the views of peers are embedded in their practices and to recruit new peers to our participation activities.

This role is a great opportunity for someone passionate about supporting people who have been excluded from services to use their insights to create a better society for people experiencing homelessness. The Peer Coordinator will need a good understanding of volunteer management and participatory approaches as well as excellent organisational skills.

Candidates with experience of social exclusion due to homelessness, imprisonment, sex work, drug use, migration or otherwise being part of a marginalised population, who meet the specification, will be given priority access to this post. 

About Groundswell

Groundswell works with people with experience of homelessness, offering opportunities to contribute to society and create solutions to homelessness. Participation is at our core because the experience of homelessness is crucial in making decisions that affect lives and ultimately help people to move out of homelessness.

Groundswell exists to tackle:

• Homelessness - everyone has the right to a safe home and to contribute to society.
• Health inequalities - everyone has the right to good health and a right to access healthcare.
• A lack of participation - people who have experienced and escaped homelessness should inform the solution.
• A society that doesn’t work for everyone - the system has been designed in a way that restricts opportunity, it needs to change to work for everyone.

We achieve this through:

• Good health - We believe good health creates a foundation to move out of homelessness. Groundswell’s people focused health work and innovative services enable people who are homeless to access the health care they need – because everyone has a right to good health. •
• Progression - We are committed to developing and supporting a workforce of people with experience of homelessness to participate in designing and delivering solutions to homelessness whilst progressing in their own lives.
• Creating change - Groundswell brings together insight from people with experience of homelessness; we use this insight to tackle issues through changing practice and challenging policy.

Groundswell’s core beliefs

1. The whole community benefits when we effectively tackle homelessness and social exclusion.
2. We believe in people. People are society’s most valuable resource, and everyone has the capacity to make a contribution.
3. There is no “them” and “us” – only us. Groundswell brings everyone together to create genuine solutions to homelessness.
4. Participation works. Supporting people to participate creates more effective services and policy – and crucially enables people to move out of homelessness.

• Undertake all meeting admin including arranging meetings, rooms, travel, refreshments and payment of volunteer expenses and incentives, and circulating actions and notes as appropriate.
