223 Jobs for the Mental Health sector

About the role:

For someone who has spent years moving between the streets, temporary accommodation and services that have not worked for them, having a home of their own can be life changing. But getting the keys is only the beginning. As our Specialist Housing First Worker in Redbridge, you’ll provide the intensive, persistent and highly personalised support people need to make that home feel safe, sustainable and genuinely theirs.

Housing First does things differently. You’ll work alongside people who have experienced repeated homelessness and multiple disadvantage, including people who may be mistrustful of services or have found traditional approaches difficult to engage with. Rather than expecting people to change before they can access housing, you’ll start from the belief that everyone has a right to a home. You’ll build relationships over time, work creatively around barriers and use active engagement and harm reduction approaches to support people towards the goals that matter to them.

Your work will stretch across housing, health, benefits, safeguarding and wider support. You’ll help people prepare for and settle into their accommodation, navigate rent and benefits, manage risks and build greater independence within their community. Just as importantly, you’ll bring together the professionals around each person, advocate firmly when systems get in the way and keep looking for another route when the obvious one has failed. This is a role that calls for sound judgement, patience and real tenacity: knowing when to challenge, when to adapt and how to remain alongside someone through setbacks as well as progress.

You’ll be joining a team committed to delivering Housing First with integrity and giving practitioners the flexibility to respond to people as individuals. You’ll have opportunities to deepen your specialist knowledge, strengthen your partnership working and advocacy skills, and develop your practice through supervision, reflective learning and training.

About you:

• You have experience supporting people who have faced homelessness and multiple disadvantage, and understand how trauma, exclusion and repeated contact with services can affect trust and engagement.
• You understand the principles of Housing First and can translate them into flexible, strengths based and genuinely person led support.
• You’re persistent, creative and solutions focused, able to stay alongside people through setbacks and find different ways forward when traditional approaches have not worked.
• You can assess and manage risk confidently, respond calmly to difficult or rapidly changing situations and use sound professional judgement while keeping safeguarding central.
• You’re a strong advocate and relationship-builder, able to negotiate, challenge appropriately and bring housing providers, statutory services and community partners together around the person you’re supporting.

About us:

We’re London’s leading homelessness charity – and we get things done.

In a city where hundreds are forced into homelessness every day, our work has never been more needed or more challenging. And we’re not shying away. We’re rolling up our sleeves to make change and helping over 10,000 Londoners every year. We prevent homelessness, provide safe places to live and give people the opportunity to rebuild their lives and transform their futures. And we never give up. 

We’re here for Londoners wherever they are on their journey. We start with trust, building relationships that help people feel safe, supported, and ready to move forward. Every day, we put people first in everything we do, challenging injustice and barriers that keep people from the safety, stability and opportunity they deserve. We stand alongside people as they rebuild and shape a future that feels their own. 

Joining Single Homeless Project means joining a team that’s bold, compassionate and determined to do better for the people we support and for each other. You’ll work alongside colleagues with lived experience, in a space that’s trans-inclusive, disability-friendly, and actively striving to be anti-oppressive and equitable. 

We’re not perfect, but we’re real. We listen. We learn. And we push forward, together. Because this isn’t just a job. It’s a chance to lead with empathy, spark change, and help build a London where no one is left behind.

Human Kind exists because vulnerability isn't the exception — it's part of being human. At some point, all of us need connection, kindness, and somewhere we belong. We're a community organisation built around a welcoming café, a programme of events and activities, and — soon — a peer-led listening service, all designed to make sure nobody in Billericay has to face difficult moments alone.

We're now looking for an experienced operational leader to help take Human Kind into its next chapter.

The Opportunity

This is a genuine leadership role, not a café management job. You'll be responsible for the people, programmes and day-to-day operations that make Human Kind work — from our community café and food offer, to family activities, events, partnerships and volunteers.

You'll move between the strategic and the practical: one morning working with trustees on priorities, the next developing a team member, the next solving an operational problem or meeting a potential partner.

You won't be expected to do everything yourself. You'll build a team where people understand their responsibilities and take ownership — while you focus on the decisions, relationships and direction that only you can provide.

Be clear-eyed about what the first year looks like: it's about getting a firm grip on the operation, building structure and earning trust — before it becomes about bigger ambitions. If you enjoy bringing order to a busy, people-first environment and want to see the results of your work in your own community, this is a rare opportunity to make a lasting difference.

About Human Kind

Human Kind is a community organisation based in the heart of Billericay. We believe food, connection and kindness can bring people together and build a stronger community. Our work includes:

• A welcoming, pay-it-forward community café.
• Family and children's activities.
• Community events and regular groups.
• Support for older people, carers and anyone experiencing isolation.
• A growing peer-support and listening offer.
• Partnerships with local schools, charities and businesses.
• A large and active volunteer community.

We've built strong foundations. We're now focused on the leadership, structure and sustainable operating model needed to take Human Kind into its next phase — and this role is central to that.

What You'll Do

• Lead our café, food offer and community programme, working through your team of supervisors and coordinators.
• Build a confident, accountable team that takes real ownership of its areas.
• Make sure volunteers are a genuine, valued part of how we work — not just extra help.
• Manage budgets and costs with a commercial eye, while protecting what makes Human Kind special.
• Build relationships with local schools, partners and organisations that extend our reach.
• Help shape a new listening and peer-support service as it launches.
• Give trustees clear visibility of performance, risks and opportunities.

Your First Year

Your early months will be about getting a clear, honest picture of what's working and what needs to change, and establishing who owns what across the team. From there, you'll strengthen your team's ownership, tighten up reporting and systems, and start building toward a more coordinated, sustainable programme of activity — bringing your own ideas and experience to how that takes shape.

What We're Looking For

• Significant leadership and operational management experience — you may come from a charity, hospitality, community, education or customer-facing background.
• A track record of developing and holding managers or team leaders accountable.
• Confidence with budgets, costs and commercial decision-making.
• The ability to work with real autonomy — comfortable bringing your own structure and judgement rather than waiting to be told what to do.
• Strong relationship-building skills, with the confidence to have difficult conversations when needed.
• A genuine connection to what Human Kind stands for.

Experience with volunteers, café or hospitality operations, or charity-sector leadership would be a bonus, but isn't essential — what matters most is your ability to lead people and build something better.

About the role

 

RAID has 4 main advice areas: Information Navigation, Benefits Advice, Energy Advice and Money Advice. The Cost of Living Crisis has disproportionally impacted Disabled people, who are more likely to face higher living costs, barriers to employment and reduced financial resilience, making it harder to cope with rising household expenses. Many of the people we see are in challenging situations; struggling with debt, experiencing food and fuel poverty, facing homeless and dealing with loneliness and isolation. The work can be emotionally challenging.

The Money Advisor will provide high-quality, accessible and person-centred money advice to Disabled people and people with long-term health conditions, supporting them to understand their financial situation, maximise their income, manage financial pressures and exercise their rights.

The Money Advisor will be required to undertake training to again gain accreditation from the Money and Pensions Service (MaPS), as part of their Quality Framework for Individuals, and will be expected to retain this qualification through continual professional development. Free training will be provided through the Wiser Adviser platform.

The Money Advisor will provide practical advice and support on a range of financial issues, budgeting, debt, household costs and financial inclusion. You will work closely with our Welfare Benefits team and undertake casework yourself as required to resolve issues.  The role will recognise the barriers created by social, economic and environmental factors and work alongside people to identify solutions that increase financial security, choice and independence.

The postholder will work within RAID's rights-based and Social Model of Disability approach, ensuring that Disabled people are listened to, treated with dignity and supported to make informed decisions about their lives.

 

About You

You are a knowledgeable, approachable and compassionate adviser who is passionate about helping Disabled people improve their financial security and exercise their rights.

You will have experience of providing money, welfare benefits or related advice and be confident supporting people to navigate what can sometimes be complex financial and benefits systems. You will be able to explain information clearly and in an accessible way, helping people understand their options and make informed decisions.

You will take a person-centred and rights-based approach, recognising that Disabled people can experience significant financial barriers, including additional costs associated with disability, inaccessible services, discrimination and barriers to employment and income. You will understand the importance of listening to people and working alongside them rather than making assumptions about what they need.

You will be comfortable supporting people with a range of circumstances and levels of support needs. You will be patient, non-judgemental and able to build trust with people who may have had difficult experiences when accessing services.

You will be organised and able to manage your own caseload, prioritise effectively and maintain accurate records. You will also enjoy working collaboratively with colleagues and external organisations to find practical solutions and achieve positive outcomes for the people we support.

You do not need to be an accredited money advisor to apply but you must successfully complete the required training and be able to demonstrate an interest and aptitude for money advice.

This is an exciting opportunity to help Beyond the Streets take the next step in our commitment to centre lived experience across the organisation. Over the past year, we have undertaken significant learning, consultation and development work with women with lived experience, staff and external specialist support. The foundations are in place; this role will help us build on them and turn that learning into sustainable practice.

Working closely with women with lived experience, colleagues across Beyond the Streets and our Senior Leadership Team, you will help create meaningful, safe and flexible opportunities for women to influence our services, research, training, policy, communications and organisational decision-making. This is a role with real scope to influence how our approach develops, while joining at a point where you will not be expected to build everything from scratch.

Who are we looking for…

You will be a thoughtful, relational and organised professional with experience of participation, co-production, community involvement or another relevant area of practice. You will be confident building trusting relationships, facilitating groups and
navigating sensitive or complex conversations. You will understand the importance of safeguarding, boundaries, informed consent and emotional wellbeing, and you will be able to work collaboratively with women with lived experience, colleagues and senior leaders.

Any disclosure of details of direct lived experience will be at the candidates’ own discretion and will not be formal part of the recruitment process. To avoid conflicts of interest, candidates currently receiving support from Beyond the
Streets are not eligible to apply for this role.

If you don’t meet every requirement, we still encourage you to apply - we are committed to supporting learning and development in this role.
