About the Service

Ella House supports women facing multiple disadvantages and intersectional challenges, including homelessness, substance misuse, contact with the criminal justice system, and mental ill health. These women often fall through gaps between services and systems, making it harder for them to address their challenges and lead fulfilling lives. At Ella House, the goal is to support clients with multiple and complex needs, recognising the emotional and compound trauma that can accompany and, in many cases, precede experiences of homelessness.

Ella House provides support by empowering women through independence, inclusion, peer support and wellbeing, bringing together diverse expertise and approaches.

The service delivers holistic support, where women are recognised for their full combination of strengths, capacities and experiences. We acknowledge how women, as individuals, want to be supported differently, and this requires staff to be patient, observant, creative and committed to trying a range of approaches.

You will work with women to develop Support Plans that meet their immediate practical and emotional needs and support their recovery, linking them with specialist services where required.

You will work in a trauma‑informed way and ideally have experience supporting people with significant mental ill health and/or substance use needs.

About You

The ideal candidate will have in‑depth knowledge of multiple disadvantages and their impact on women, as well as experience providing emotional and practical support to those affected by homelessness, substance misuse, the criminal justice system and mental ill health.

You will have experience managing risk and following case management procedures to meet the needs of a diverse client group. You will be able to work with women to help them understand their needs, complete risk assessments, develop safety plans, and engage effectively with other agencies.

You will have working knowledge of legal remedies, housing and welfare benefits, and experience delivering workshops.

In addition to case management duties, you will be required to undertake housing management responsibilities, including health and safety tasks and supporting the upkeep of the accommodation. You will have excellent administrative and time‑management skills.

Job Profile

One of two Outreach and Project Workers pivotal to the delivery of an exciting new Women at Risk (WaR) project which will support women at risk of rough sleeping, homelessness and exploitation. Working across key areas of Enfield and Haringey you will, through a combination of nighttime outreach and daytime service provision, be critical to supporting a coordinated response across multiple agencies already engaged in this work.

You will undertake at least twice weekly nighttime outreach, support additional services and existing outreach provision and develop a daytime offer that meets the needs of women engaged through outreach and identified as at high risk of harm and homelessness.   

You will have responsibility for a caseload of women identified through outreach, referral and presentation at ours and other services. You will provide advocacy, casework support and connection and referral into other agencies which can help them address their needs.

This is a fantastic opportunity to become part of a passionate, high performing team and support the development of a new service which is meeting identified gaps in local provision.

Historically, the organisation has delivered a grant giving programme but has evolved over the past ten years to provide a holistic service to clients that includes financial grants, advocacy,fmaily support,psychotherapy, volunteering opportunities and social events. 

Most of our clients have support need over and above financial assistance.  Many are socially excluded from society and face a combination of linked problems such as unemployment, discrimination, poor skills, low incomes, poor housing, living in areas of high crime, bad health and family breakdown. These problems are linked and mutually reinforcing so that they can create a vicious cycle in people’s lives. 

For this role its expected you have experience working with families who need support with complex issues and engage with them to work out solutions and postive outcomes.

Prospectus is pleased to be partnering with a mixed gender homelessness charity based in South West London. It’s mission is to provide secure accommodation to those experiencing homelessness, and to support working towards independence and lasting stability. They do this through the provision of a safe and secure hostel with 14 rooms, and communal areas and kitchen, along with a team of great support workers.

As a Support Worker, you will ensure a safe and welcoming service within this 24 hour hostel where welfare dignity and protection is key. Working with vulnerable adults you will remain alert to risks and respond appropriately to concerns or incidents following safeguarding and risk management procedures. You will also hold a small caseload, supporting clients with their key work support that is person centred and trauma informed, focussed on promoting independence, stability and well being.

Due to the nature of the role, you will have experience in building relationships and supporting vulnerable, disadvantaged, or excluded client groups, as well as dealing with challenging behaviours within a similar setting to the homelessness sector.

The ideal candidate will be able to easily demonstrate similar experience, and also be available to work shift patterns based on site in Richmond. 

If you are interested, please apply with just your CV in the first instance (in Microsoft Word format). We are reviewing CVs on an ongoing basis, so it is highly recommended to submit your application as soon as possible. The successful candidate for this role will also be subject to an Enhanced DBS check.
