Are you looking for an opportunity where your skills will make a difference in helping to end homelessness and rebuild lives?

About the role

We are looking for a highly motivated individual to join OxSPOT, our dynamic street outreach team in Oxford. The successful candidate will work with our Navigator cohort and have the ability to work proactively, and consistently, with a complex client-group that may be actively rough sleeping or accessing various accommodation models, at any one time. 

You will be working positively with many important partner agencies, in order to ensure a high level of service individuals that are actively marginalised and socially excluded. Many of our clients are Migrants from Europe or beyond and part of your role will be to work with this group. This will involve liaising with key services, including police and the department of work and pensions, and services throughout the UK and Europe. The role involves making contact with all rough sleepers and those at risk of homelessness, assessing their needs and delivering personalised case management to support them to make the move away from the streets and/ or street lifestyles for good. You would then provide ongoing support to people as and when they access accommodation. 

This is an exciting role, working across health, housing, treatment and immigration issues with some of Oxford’s most vulnerable individuals working for one of the UK’s leading homelessness and outreach organisations.   

What we’re looking for

This role requires a level of commitment and understanding, with a thorough understanding of professional sector-specific working practices, and the ability to work in a considered, trauma-informed and boundaried manner. 

The successful candidate will need to foster positive relationships with individuals, sometimes in a relatively short space of time, and to maintain these relationships, regardless of the situation. You will have line management duties for the Complex Case Worker and will be able to identify the most successful outcomes for the identified cohort. You will also work alongside the existing outreach team and provide interim support and advice. This is an excellent opportunity to gain line management experience whilst maintaining a crucial client-facing role and practice.

We particularly welcome applications from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) applicants, as they are under-represented within St Mungo’s at this level.

Please note, due to the needs of our services, the post holder may be required to work a shift rota, so flexibility is required. This will include some weekends and bank holidays.

Our Networks include: BAME, Carer’s and Parent’s, Lived Experience, LGBTQIA+, Disability Awareness, South West, Irish and Women’s Action.

• Flexible Working and Other Benefits

We are committed to maintaining your work/life balance. We offer 25 days annual leave, and operate a very popular Flexi Time scheme, which allows you to supplement your annual leave entitlement. After 5 years, staff annual leave entitlement increases to 28 days.

St Mungo’s contribute 4% of your gross annual salary, and you are able to enrol in the Defined Contribution scheme following a successful probationary period in which the employer contribution is 6%.

For this role staff can claim an additional 20% pay premium for hours worked between 8pm and 8am Monday to Friday, and all hours worked on Saturday and Sunday. 

What we do

At St Mungo’s our vision is that everyone has a place to call home and can fulfil their hopes and ambitions.
