About the role
To work within the Involvement and Inclusion Team to ensure client involvement and diversity and inclusion are embedded across St Mungo’s. We recognise the fundamental importance of involvement in helping clients to achieve their recovery goals; in giving them a voice and in improving the quality and effectiveness of our services. Diversity and inclusion are equally central to St Mungo's and how we work. We're committed to equality and being inclusive is one of our core values, underpinning everything we do to end homelessness and rebuild lives. We know that valuing the backgrounds, experiences and strengths of our staff and clients is integral to delivering our high-quality services.

You will deliver training for staff, clients and volunteers in your area and will facilitate client consultation opportunities.
What we’re looking for

- Working with people with compassion and empathy
You will also need to have a good understanding of recovery, be able to work independently and be confident in championing client involvement and equity, diversity and inclusion to your colleagues.

At St Mungo’s we are very committed to diversity and inclusion and you would be expected to embed this into all aspects of your work.
We particularly welcome applications from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) applicants, as they are under-represented within St Mungo’s at this level.

A Diverse and Inclusive Work Place
- Equity, diversity and inclusion are central to the organisation's values and how we work.
- We are proud of our commitment to diversity and inclusion and have 8 great Diversity Networks to support clients and staff from different backgrounds so they are able to be their best selves.
- We are a Stonewall Top 100 employer.
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%.
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.
