About Toynbee Hall

Based in the East End of London since 1884, Toynbee Hall is a charity working alongside people facing poverty, injustice, and inequality to build a fairer East London. We provide vital advice and support, working in partnership to tackle unfairness and ensure everyone has an equal chance to thrive.

We have recently launched a new strategic plan which reinforces that our purpose is to build a fairer future with an end to poverty, injustice and inequality.

We work towards this by:

• Addressing poverty and injustice through advice and support and influencing systemic change.
• Shifting power to people and communities affected by injustice and inequality.
• Collaborating to end poverty and build fairer systems and institutions. What we want to see in the world starts with our community and our organisation.

This means:

• Working together to build a thriving local community where people have the resources they need, feel their voices are heard and are optimistic about the future.
• Being a good employer, where people are treated fairly, feel engaged and empowered, and work together to achieve our shared vision.
• Acknowledging the role Toynbee Hall has historically played in civic society while recognising that our role now is to shift power, to be an effective partner, and to amplify voices that are less likely to be heard.

What we learn from our work in east London we use to inform and influence wider policy – working to influence change in structures, systems and policies.

The British Asian Trust is one of the most exciting and innovative charities working in South Asia. They were founded in 2007 by His Majesty King Charles III and a group of British Asian business leaders to tackle widespread poverty, inequality and injustice in South Asia. In recent years they have experienced substantial growth, with income increasing from £1m to £22m.

An estimated 172 million children in India are considered ‘at-risk’ from various forms of harm and exploitation. Children are made vulnerable by a complex network of interconnecting factors such as high levels of poverty, gender inequality, unsafe migration, cultural norms and poor implementation of schemes and laws. The Child Opportunity Fund’s goal is to create more safe spaces to ensure that millions of children can live their lives to the fullest potential. To achieve this, they are aiming to raise $25m which will be matched by the Children’s Investment Fund Foundation, totalling a $50m fund.

Purpose

We are seeking an organisation and/or two individuals to deliver clinical supervision to Redthread youth workers and managers (in separate clinical groups) who are based in London and Birmingham in the context of trauma-informed practice so that they can undertake their roles safely and effectively.

About Redthread

Redthread is a multi award-winning charity with over 20 years experience of delivering pioneering youth work in hospitals and other health settings. We work across hospitals in London and Birmingham with 11-25 year olds who are affected by grooming, sexual and criminal exploitation, violence, emotional and physical harm, mental health issues, domestic violence and modern slavery. We also support children and young people in the online space to reduce the impacts of violence, and with those experiencing a range of health conditions, who are vulnerable and in need.

Our model is pioneering, and we train NHS staff so they are able to identify and better support children and young people affected by violence in health settings. We amplify the voices of children and young people and use our evidence and insights from working with them to adapt and innovate our work, support service improvement, and influence regional and national government.

About our team

We are a diverse organisation and it is critical that our staff have access to the right clinical supervisor to feel safe, reflect on their practice, and manage any work-related vicarious trauma.

1 Our team includes Youth Workers and Senior Youth Workers (20), Young Women’s Workers (3), Team Leaders (7), Managers and a VAWG Lead (5), and our Head Office staff. You will be responsible for providing clinical supervision to our hospital based staff and managers and may need to (on an ad hoc basis) support Head Office staff as and when required/upon request.

The Redthread model of Clinical Supervision

● Redthread acknowledges that its practitioners regularly encounter exposure to trauma/distress in their work with young people which has the potential for an increased risk of them experiencing compassion fatigue and vicarious trauma.

● The Redthread model of supervision acknowledges the emotional impact of our work on our practitioners/managers and provides time and tools to process feelings, build resilience, and practice self-care.

● Redthread supervision is trauma-informed and acts as reflective practice.

● Redthread provides fortnightly face-to-face group supervision and, upon request, 121 clinical supervision (either face to face or online) that takes place in a safe and consistent location and that enables a pause in practice.

● Clinical supervision is non-managerial support and is not case management.

Deliverables

● Create a safe space where open and transparent conversations can take place.

● Bring a supportive challenge to practitioners to enable them to think differently about their work and consider alternative perspectives.

● Be empathetic and consistent.

● Facilitate growth in practitioners and development of their practice.

● To provide 121 clinical supervision to staff (upon request).

● To provide fortnightly group clinical supervision to staff for up to 90 mins.

● Bi-monthly workshops on trending topics/themes.

2 ● To feedback on key themes and issues.

● To critically review if Redthread is embedding a Trauma Informed response within the organisation.

● Ad-hoc debrief and support to teams between supervision.

● Provide an immediate report of any significant wellbeing or safeguarding concerns for team members or young people to Redthread.

● Hold a bi-monthly catch up meeting with the Director to ensure lines of communication are open and dialogue is constant.

● Provide reasonable notice of any occasions when they will not be available on their regular day due to annual leave, other commitments, excluding emergencies.

● Report any concerns regarding Health and Safety, Safeguarding, Data Protection and Equal Opportunities to the Director.

● Maintain registration and accreditation with the appropriate professional regulator (British Psychological Society, British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy).

● Confirmation of appropriate professional insurance for the role (copy of insurance policy to be provided)

● Maintain independent clinical supervision arrangements external to Redthread.

The successful applicant will be responsible for providing sound, motivating leadership and creating a work atmosphere where our dedicated, talented team can thrive. You will be responsible for leading on delivering the charity's services, which includes managing and overseeing projects, policies and procedures within the organisation. 

You will be working as part of a growing, busy, collaborative and motivated team and be able to adapt well to changing priorities. You will have oversight of a team of 10-12 people including contracted staff, volunteers and directly manage 3-5 members of the team.

You will work alongside the CEO, staff team, trustees and charity accountant in ensuring strong financial management of all projects.  You will report to the CEO and Board of Trustees, attend quarterly board meetings and produce regular reports on the activities and outcomes to stakeholders.

The role will also involve evaluating the organisation’s processes and ensuring they are efficient and accessible, as well as ensuring we meet our Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). This will inform operational development and future strategies.
