Jobs in England

About the role:

Some services need more than strong management — they need a leader who can hold the whole picture, set the standard and keep young people’s futures at the centre when the work is busy, fast-moving and high stakes. As Service Manager for our Camden Young People’s service, you will lead a high support accommodation service made up of 4 units, supporting 31 young people and providing overall leadership to a team of around 20 staff.

You’ll lead with presence and purpose, supporting your team to deliver consistent, personalised and trauma-informed support that helps young people build stability, independence and stronger future pathways.

You’ll also play a key role in strengthening partnership working across Camden, including with local authorities, commissioners and partner agencies. From referrals and move-on pathways to Ofsted readiness, data, young people’s feedback and continuous improvement, you’ll make sure the service is not only well run, but constantly learning, improving and ambitious for the young people it supports. At SHP, you’ll also be part of a supportive learning culture, with access to training, development and opportunities to keep growing as a leader while shaping a service that really matters. 

About you:

• You bring strong experience managing accommodation-based, residential, youth, housing, social care or similar services, with the confidence to lead a sizeable team and hold service-wide standards.
• You understand the responsibilities that come with managing a young people’s service, including safeguarding, housing management, health and safety, performance, quality and risk.
• You’re confident supporting teams to work with young people facing multiple disadvantage, using trauma informed, psychologically informed and strengths-based practice to shape meaningful, personalised support.
• You can balance warmth with accountability, creating a team culture where staff feel supported, clear on expectations and able to deliver high-quality work.
• You build trust quickly with staff, young people and partners, and bring the integrity, curiosity and courage needed to lead a service where people can thrive.

Who we are

Every year, thousands of people in the UK face court alone. Often through no choice of their own, people must represent themselves at a moment that could have life-changing outcomes. This includes loss of access to children or homelessness. At the same time, people facing court alone may find themselves up against a party with legal representation. They are instantly at a disadvantage and overwhelmed by the enormity of the challenges they are up against. We supported unrepresented litigants in the civil and family courts in England and Wales over 45,000 times last year.

We provide a safe space with volunteers who listen to each client’s individual story. Last year, over 1000 volunteers helped people to get their thoughts in order, problem-solve and decide next steps, source relevant and reliable legal information, explain complex procedures, complete court forms, and clearly present statements.

At a time when legal support is increasingly limited, we have a vision that no one should have to face court alone.

The role 

Support Through Court is establishing a legal advice clinic for money claim matters under £10,000, for a one-year pilot. Advice will be given to clients across the national service network who have been internally triaged to the clinic.

The role involves day-to day management of the clinic and supervising law students as they facilitate client appointments, conduct research and draft letters of advice. Clients will predominantly be supported remotely with occasional in-person appointments and advice “drop-ins” in the local area. You will train and supervise students to help them gain practical legal skills in a clinic setting, having final sign-off of completed letters of advice/oral advice to ensure clients receive an excellent service.

You will embed the legal advice offering of the clinic into the organisation, increasing and developing referrals from our national service network and supporting staff understanding of referral ability. 

Who we are looking for 

Ambitious, professional, committed and friendly. That describes us. If it also describes you and you have a passion for access to justice, then we’re keen to hear from you.

You will be a qualified solicitor with at least 3 years PQE (ideally 5+) with an active practicing certificate. You will have experience managing students and/or volunteers and a commitment to supporting Litigants in Person. 

We are open to applicants wishing to take the role either on a full-time basis, or on a part-time basis as a job share. Please make it clear in your application whether you are applying for a full-time or part-time role. 

Interviews will take place on Wednesday 8th July.
