The role

You will:

• Co-design and evolve a practice-led curriculum in bioregional learning and leadership (online and in-person).

Essential skills & experience

We expect you to bring most of the following:

• Deep alignment with regenerative, place-based and more-than-human ways of working
• Experience designing, coordinating or delivering adult / professional learning (formal or informal)
• Strong project and event management skills: planning, scheduling and managing multiple strands
• Confidence holding participatory online and/or in-person learning spaces
• Excellent written and verbal communication, comfortable engaging with diverse stakeholders
• Ability to work both collaboratively in a small team and independently
• Competence with digital tools for learning and collaboration (e.g. Zoom, Google Workspace, Mighty Networks, etc)

Desirable skills & experience

You might also have:

• Practical experience in bioregioning, regenerative design, community organising, landscape stewardship, or related fields.
• Experience partnering with universities, colleges or independent learning centres.
• Skills in monitoring, evaluation and learning (MEL), especially participatory approaches.
• Some experience of working with both the Global North and Global South.
• Experience with fundraising or developing paid learning offers.
• Familiarity with South Devon or another bioregion, and the ability to ‘read’ place.
• Arts-based, creative or storytelling practice connected to systems change or ecology.

If you don’t meet every single criterion but feel a strong resonance with the role, we warmly encourage you to apply.

What we offer

• The chance to help shape a pioneering bioregional learning programme with an active international network.
• A reflective, supportive working culture with mentoring from the Learning Programme Lead.
• Flexible, trust-based hybrid working.
• Significant scope for your own learning and practice development.

Justlife’s Vision

Making people's experience of temporary accommodation be short, safe and healthy.

About this role

The role of Health Engagement Worker will involve supporting a caseload of service users that are experiencing homelessness. The role requires the use of specialist knowledge and relationship skills to influence service users with varying degrees of mental health, addiction and trauma related issues to engage with health services.

This will include advocacy in registering them for medical services and accompanying them to appointments; assisting them in addressing all aspects of physical and mental health or substance addiction needs, as well as advocating or them to get access to source housing and social security benefits. Working collaboratively with our partners Arch Healthcare the role is dependent on good communication and joint working with a variety of partners and professionals.

The role requires a high degree of motivation to support complex and vulnerable people, often in a lone-working situation. With a passion to work collaboratively with others for the good of our service users, and with some experience of working in a related field in a voluntary or paid capacity.

A high degree of emotional intelligence is required to support service users, many of whom have complex emotional needs, with backgrounds of trauma, neglect, abuse, crime and low self-worth. A role of this nature will experience a range of emotions from joy to grief and as such requires a high degree of resilience to cope with the emotional demands of the role.

Making decisions, “in the moment” to do the right thing to mitigate risk with service users can place high emotional demands on the job holder. The role is highly reactive, unpredictable and at times, chaotic. The role therefore requires a high degree of self-awareness to one’s own resilience levels and exercising appropriate levels of self-care.

Why do we exist

Justlife is in existence because we know thousands of people struggle to manage in poor and unsuitable temporary accommodation. Their stay isn’t temporary, they are likely to be suffering with deteriorating mental and physical health, becoming victims of crime, losing control of their life and even dying prematurely. We are working towards making their stays as short, safe and healthy as possible.

How do we operate?

Our values guide our work and are very important to us:

· Collaboration before competition

· People before programmes

· Innovation before Institutions

What do we do?

Justlife delivers impactful services in Greater Manchester and Brighton & Hove, supporting and empowering people experiencing homelessness in temporary accommodation.
