Equity, Diversity and Inclusion at Thames21 is key to our success and as such we employ staff from a diverse range of backgrounds, this we feel is key in ensuring that everybody has an equal opportunity and is not treated differently or discriminated against because of their characteristics. We value the voices of our individual employees, and we strive to work in a collaborative, innovative balanced way. The postholder must actively support this.

Purpose of the job:

This post will form part of Thames21’s Catchment Partnership team. The successful candidate will host the Brent Catchment Partnership and will be responsible for the partnership’s strategic development and expansion, working towards the successful delivery of the Catchment Based Approach (CaBA) to improve the rivers and wider environment in this catchment.

The Brent Catchment Partnership covers an area of approximately 170km2, from Edgeware in the north, to its tributary with the Thames in the south by Brentford.

Main duties and responsibilities:

The officer will be expected to deliver across four priority areas:

1. Develop diverse, representative, collaborative and delivery focused partnerships

The successful candidate will need to work autonomously and proactively to seek out and positively engage strategic stakeholders within the Brent catchment area, building the influence and capacity of the Catchment Partnership network to deliver improvements for rivers and local communities. These stakeholders will include (but are not limited to) community groups, landowners, eNGOs, local authorities, government agencies and water companies.

These plans should make the priority projects for delivery clear to external readers and catchment partners, enabling a strategic approach to project delivery in the catchment.

The catchment partnership officer will be expected to share knowledge, news, funding opportunities and project progress between stakeholders through meetings, site visits, email newsletters and quarterly meetings of the whole Catchment Partnership (which the Officer will have the responsibility of arranging, coordinating and chairing, including the production of agendas, minutes and actions). The catchment partnership officer will be expected to communicate the work of their catchment partnership networks externally at relevant forums, including the River Partnerships in London (RiPL) Group, Thames Catchment Forum and strategic community events.

We’re looking for two reliable and organised Supported Accommodation Cleaners to join our Stopover Supported Housing team.

Stopover provides supported accommodation for young women across Brighton & Hove and West Sussex, helping them build the skills, confidence and stability they need to move towards independent living.

As part of our team, you’ll play an important role in making sure our accommodation is clean, safe and welcoming for the young women who live there. You’ll work across our supported housing properties, carrying out regular cleaning as well as scheduled deep cleans and preparing rooms for new residents.

This is a role where you’ll largely manage your own cleaning workload, so we’re looking for someone dependable, well organised and comfortable working independently within a supported housing environment.

You will:

• Carry out regular weekly cleaning across our supported accommodation
• Undertake scheduled deep and cyclical cleaning
• Prepare accommodation to a high standard before it is re-let to a new resident
• Plan and manage your cleaning workload effectively
• Follow appropriate health and safety procedures, including the safe use of cleaning products

We’re looking for someone who can demonstrate:

• Experience of cleaning, ideally within supported housing, social care or a similar environment
• Good organisational skills and the ability to manage your own workload
• An understanding of health and safety when using cleaning products and chemicals
• An understanding of, and empathy for, the needs of young women living in supported accommodation
• A calm and appropriate approach when working in an environment where residents may sometimes present challenging behaviour

An understanding of trauma-informed care would be an advantage. Relevant health and safety training will be provided as required.

Why join us?

Impact Initiatives is a Sussex-based charity supporting children, young people, adults with disabilities, families and older people to live healthy and fulfilling lives.

Stopover has been providing accommodation and support to young women for more than 35 years. By keeping our homes clean, safe and welcoming, you’ll make an important practical contribution to an environment where young women can feel secure and work towards greater independence.

Who can apply?

These posts are open to women only, in accordance with Schedule 9, Paragraph 1 of the Equality Act 2010, due to the nature of our work with young women. We welcome applications from all women, including trans women.

Join Our Team and Help Transform Lives!

We are looking for a compassionate and motivated Benefits Adviser to join our Transitions team, providing personalised benefits advice and support to people in their own homes and communities across West Devon and Torridge. You will help people understand and access the benefits they are entitled to, maximise their household income and navigate what can often be complex and challenging benefit processes. Many of the people we support face barriers to accessing mainstream services, so the ability to build trust, listen and provide patient, practical support is at the heart of this role.

We are looking for someone with strong communication and interpersonal skills, a person-centred approach and a genuine commitment to supporting people experiencing vulnerability or financial hardship. Previous benefits advice experience would be an advantage, but we also welcome applications from people with transferable skills and the right values and aptitude to develop in the role. Full training, support and opportunities for professional development will be provided

About the Role

Working as part of the Transitions Project, you will provide specialist, person-centred benefits advice to people in their own homes and community settings across West Devon and Torridge.

Many of the people we support experience barriers that make it difficult for them to access mainstream advice services, including poor physical or mental health, disability, rural isolation, digital exclusion, low confidence and complex personal circumstances. You will take advice directly to clients, providing the time, flexibility and practical support they need to understand and access their benefit entitlements.

You will complete comprehensive benefit checks, support clients to make and manage claims, identify opportunities to maximise household income and help resolve benefit-related problems. This may include supporting clients with challenging decisions, mandatory reconsiderations and appeals, as well as liaising and advocating with the DWP, local authorities and other agencies.

The role involves regular lone working and travel to clients' homes, so you will need to be confident working independently while remaining closely connected to the wider Transitions team.

This is a rewarding role with the opportunity to make a tangible difference to the financial stability and wellbeing of people who may otherwise struggle to access the support they need.
