Job description

This role is based at our centre a short walk from Clapham Common tube station, in London. We support homeless people from the local area and further afield. Our services are open access, so the people who come to the Ace of Clubs are diverse and from multiple walks of life. Consequently their needs can be complex, so we are looking for a skilled communicator who can support people, many of who live chaotic lifestyles. Our purpose at the Ace of Clubs is to address people’s basic human needs by providing food, clothing, toiletries, and practical support. We help people link up with housing, healthcare, education, and employment. Our Support Workers work to help individuals overcome barriers to achieving wellbeing, whether it be through guidance in the support system, learning new skills or supporting service users to build the confidence and skills to enable them to navigate their life challenges and advocate for themselves. The ultimate aim of our work is to reduce people’s dependence on our service, helping them move toward independence.

As a small team, we work collaboratively and you will have the opportunity to grow, thrive and perform through effective conversations and honest feedback underpinned by trust. We work in an environment that will stretch you both personally and professionally, and all you need is your expertise and natural talent to work with people. 

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of vulnerable groups and expect all colleagues to share this commitment. Appointment to the post will be subject to a satisfactory enhanced check via the Disclosure and Barring Service.

Interpersonal skills, the ability to communicate clearly, and a commitment to upholding professional boundaries are essential requirements of the role. Employees and volunteers at the Ace of Clubs must also act with honesty, respect, reliability and a non-judgemental approach combined with the ability to deal with challenging behaviour in a non-confrontational manner.

KEY DUTIES

  • To participate in the provision of advice and advocacy for service users addressing their needs in the following areas; Housing; Welfare; Health; Education; Employment, (this list is not exhaustive);
  • Refer to and liaise with partners and agencies within the statutory and voluntary sector to secure positive outcomes for Centre Users, e.g. referring and signposting guests to accommodation providers, health services and other relevant internal and external support services, as necessary.
  • Work in a manner which honours our organisational values and is responsive to the trauma and experiences of homelessness and vulnerable adults.
  • Maintain essential records accurately on Charity Log, (ensuring high quality case recordings).
  • Ensuring the Centre Manager is kept informed of all safeguarding and risk concerns.
  • Employing creative thinking and practices to ensure that guests are supported and motivated to achieve their goals.
