About us
Crisis is the national charity for homeless people. We know that homelessness is not inevitable. We know that together we can end it.

This role offers an exciting opportunity to join our new London Wide Team, as a member of Crisis’ Housing First service. Working across London the team will deliver person-centred, flexible, open-ended packages of support, advice and assistance to people who are/have been living on the streets, so that they can access and maintain a safe and secure home of their own.

In the first months of the role, the focus will be on providing intensive rapid rehousing support for people who need to exit hotel provision as part of the London response to the coronavirus pandemic. Once this phase is complete, the focus will move to provision of a longer-term Housing First service.

About the role
As a Housing First Coach you will deliver high quality person-centred support, using psychologically informed approaches, in line with Housing First principles. You will establish open and trusting relationships with people who have had long histories of homelessness or in temporary/insecure accommodation, enabling them to access and sustain accommodation and enable them to exercise choice and control over their lives.

In the initial stages of the role, work will focus on providing a short-term housing led approach for a caseload of 10-15 people experiencing homelessness including those in temporary and emergency accommodation, facilitating access to more stable accommodation where they can access appropriate resettlement and wider support to end their homelessness

About you
To be successful in this role you will be a self-starter, flexible and have experience of working collaboratively as part of a team and with internal and external partners. You will have experience of working with people who have faced severe and multiple exclusion and who may have complex needs and an understanding of the needs of people who have been homeless for long periods of time. You will be willing and able to provide practical assistance with moving into and maintaining a home – including direct help where necessary with tasks such as shopping, budgeting, cooking and cleaning.

You will also have a knowledge of Housing First and Housing Led approaches and the ability to work within a psychologically informed approach, including strengths-based approaches.

Benefits
As a member of the team you will have access to a wide range of employee benefits including:

• Interest free loans to purchase a train season ticket or a bike or for a deposit to secure a tenancy
• Mandatory pension scheme, with an employer contribution of 8.5%
• 25 days’ annual leave which increases with service to 28 days

Alongside our excellent staff benefits, we will support your ongoing development to build your skills, experience and career.

Lead this new service in the London Borough of Sutton, helping to improve health and wellbeing outcomes for people with complex lives and unmet need.

Social Prescribing empowers people to take control of their health and wellbeing through referral to non-medical ‘Link Workers’ who give time, focus on ‘what matters to me’ and take a holistic approach, connecting people to community groups and statutory services for practical and emotional support. Link Workers support existing groups to be accessible and sustainable and provide feedback to groups and strategic partners to enable development, working collaboratively with all local partners.

Social Prescribing can help to strengthen community resilience and personal resilience and reduce health inequalities by addressing the wider determinants of health, such as debt, poor housing and physical inactivity, by increasing people’s active involvement with their local communities. It particularly works for people with long-term conditions (including support for mental health), for people who are lonely or isolated, or have complex social needs which affect their wellbeing.

Age UK Sutton is the commissioned provider for Social Prescribing Sutton, for an all-age service working as part of a specialist multidisciplinary team including GPs and nurses supporting those with complex needs.  The Head of Social Prescribing Sutton will be managing a team of six Link Workers who focus on providing support for patients’ non-medical needs.  These needs are often complex, and many patients referred to the service are frequent visitors to primary care, in particular their GP. The service is for adults over the age of 18 whose needs meet referral criteria.  The Head of Service and the Link Workers will be employed by Age UK Sutton as the contract holder but expected to develop strong relationships with a wide range of local providers whose services could benefit patients referred for support, who may be of any age.

As Head of Service, you will line manage the Link Workers, and assume leadership of the service, working closely with partners in Health and Care and the Voluntary Sector to promote and develop the service, producing regular monitoring and insight reports, and working with the Director of Services and Social Prescribing Sutton Steering Group to review and develop the strategic direction of the service.  This is a new role with significant opportunities for personal development as the service evolves.

To apply, please submit a CV and supporting statement detailing how you meet the attributes described in the person specification.
