Central London, like many cities across the world, is an exciting and stimulating place. However, for some, it is a place to go when things have gone profoundly wrong and there is nowhere else. When people are on the edge, rough sleeping, isolated and in despair there must be a place to turn. The Connection is there to be with people as they overcome their problems, recover and move on to a meaningful, fulfilling life.

However, this is not enough. The experiences of people on the edge matter. Their story must be told to those in a position of power and influence, so that rough sleeping is not an accepted feature of life in the UK.

The Connection at St. Martin’s tackles rough sleeping by:

• providing services designed to help people to recognise their own strengths, recover from crisis and move away from the streets for good;

• collaborating with others to achieve this – a person’s rough sleeping situation is rarely addressed by one agency working alone;

• Sharing our learning with others, to deepen our own understanding and create a more socially just society for those on the margins not just in London, but other parts of the UK and the world.

The Engagement Lead will take forward our Engagement and Assessment work including our Resource Centre, Triage and Brief Intervention Team, Street Engagement Team, Emergency Accommodation Team and System Change Project. The role requires someone with a strong track record in service delivery with people who have complex needs.

They must have experience of strengths-based assessment and case work, supported housing and provision of practical help such as washing facilities and meals. Alongside ensuring high quality service delivery, they must have experience of developing new approaches and working with fundraising specialists to secure resources. The Engagement Lead will be a well organised and focused manager who uses coaching techniques to develop their team. Finally, they must be a positive role model with the personal credibility to build confidence in the charity both internally and externally.

So, are you interested in this rewarding role that comes with some really great benefits? To apply, please submit an application form highlighting that you meet the requirements of the role set out in the person specification. Only candidates that provide this, and who meet the essential criteria within the person specification, will be considered for an interview.

Details of the role including the person specification can be found attached.

Please find the application form attached.

This is a permanent contract.

Closing date: Monday 12th July 2021 – 9am

Interview date: Thursday 22nd July 2021.

Please note the successful candidates will be appointed within the salary bracket and the location is flexible with access to a range of regional offices across England.

• Building effective relationships across a wide range of stakeholders and having regular government department communication, establishing and maintaining a tax community across the sector and raising awareness of key tax issues
• Be project leaders to improve systems and processes in line with tax global principles, ensuring controls and best practice are in place to maintain a strong level of taxation compliance across MoJ, DWP, Home Office and the wider government department sector
• Responsibility for managing relationships with both internal and external stakeholders to ensure successful delivery of future tax CoE aims and objectives
• Lead on producing, clarifying and advising on complex and challenging VAT and tax compliance, providing clear communications and guidance across government
• Increase capability and upskilling – working as part of the centre of excellence, share best practice across the public sector, providing fit for purpose training and ensuring tax is not considered in isolation

Key Skills & Experience

• A strong working knowledge, track record, experience and understanding of either personal tax, business tax, or VAT
• Successful track record leading on continuous tax improvements in both process and compliance including effective up-skilling 
• Confidence in challenging and influencing senior stakeholders
• Good stakeholder and engagement skills with the ability to build and facilitate successful working relationships with both internal and external customers

• Ability to manage competing priorities, delivering high quality work to demanding timescales
• A willingness to develop further expert knowledge in Tax and VAT, Finance and Government Departments
