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.

We have an exciting opportunity for an Applications Specialist with IT project management, business analysis and technical support skills to join our Applications Team whilst some staff are seconded to a major CRM implementation project. Your role will be about ensuring we can continue providing great service to our colleagues through implementing new products and services, providing analysis and solutions for user needs, and escalation support. 

The Applications team has a strong focus on making improvements to our technology estate and processes – either through business analysis or project work. The team also supports, maintains and develops our estate of core business applications to enable Friends of the Earth’s people and campaigns to thrive. Experts in Application support, IT infrastructure and technology solutions work together using an ITIL-based service desk; we’re a friendly, fast-paced and engaged department that supports 180 staff and volunteers in our London and regional offices - and remote workers around England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

We’re looking for a highly motivated Applications Specialist who will proactively pursue business process improvements, participate in – and in some cases lead – projects, and will be responsible for the escalation support of our core business applications. There is a strong focus on customer service and responsiveness to ensure we deliver on the demanding and rapidly changing needs of a dynamic and successful organisation. This will be achieved by working closely with key customer stakeholders across the business. Additionally, you will work side-by-side with our technology colleagues in identifying and implementing improvements and changes.

In terms of technology, you’ll be well-versed in the latest Microsoft technologies, and understand the nuances of cloud computing, especially the Azure Cloud, which we use to host our server estate. You will also be comfortable with quickly learning new technologies and understanding how they interface with each other. You’ll be adept at communicating complex issues to different audiences and bringing both the team and stakeholders with you in resolving issues, exceeding expectations, and ultimately improving the service we offer.

The team:

Technology and Infrastructure supports both the technology and data that Friends of the Earth uses to achieve impact, and the underlying virtual and physical infrastructure. We aim to ensure that all colleagues have an appropriate technology and physical work environment; that our data flows are accurate, efficient and compliant; that colleagues are well supported to work effectively; and that Friends of the Earth operates in a healthy and safe manner. 
The department comprises 15 people, with some colleagues based in our London Office, and others working in regional offices or from home around the UK. We’re a focussed and experienced bunch of experts working across a wide range of different topics – and we have a strongly collaborative and fun team working environment. 

Closing date: Sunday 4th July

We offer a competitive range of benefits, good work/life balance, excellent learning and development opportunities and a vibrant organisational culture.

We are an equal opportunities employer and are especially keen to encourage applications from people currently under-represented in the environment movement.

Friends of the Earth is an international community dedicated to protecting the natural world and the wellbeing of everyone in it. We lead campaigns, provide resources and information, and drive real solutions to the environmental problems facing us all.
