As their Regional Coordinator, you will coordinate the delivery and development of their homelessness prevention programme; Positive Pathways, which is currently delivered through seven partner organisations in Leeds, Doncaster, Sheffield and Middleborough.

Bristol, Birmingham or Sheffield or Home Working considered
Closing date: 31st January 2021 at 11.30pm
Do you have experience of planning and delivering involvement, volunteering or research activities and liaising with external agencies, partners and professionals, possibly in a housing or homelessness context? Then join Shelter as an Involvement Coordinator and you could soon be playing an exciting and diverse role within a new project aimed at developing our approach to women's centred services.
A home is a fundamental human need, as essential as education or healthcare. Yet millions of people across Britain struggle on a daily basis with homelessness, bad housing conditions, soaring rents, discrimination and the threat of eviction. So, we are striving for change with individuals, in communities, across society and leading the way to a safe home. We need ambitious, best-in-class individuals who are passionate about our cause to join us at this exciting time. This is your chance to play a part in the fundamental change we are striving to achieve.
Women are being increasingly and disproportionately impacted by the housing crisis. This has led Shelter to develop a new strategic priority to ensure that all our housing advice services are designed with a clear understanding of how a women's gender affects their housing problems and the kind of support they need as a result. We're spearheading this transformation by developing services in three locations, which are designed by women with lived experience and local partner agencies, and directed at helping homeless and poorly housed women. We have secured National Lottery funding, initially for 6 months, to carry out this work.
About the Role
Under the direction of a Project Manager, you'll be responsible for recruiting Peer Research Volunteers with lived experience and training and supporting them to conduct research in their local communities. Research will involve talking to women about local need and barriers to accessing support, with the aim of designing services to help them. This will involve engaging, supporting and developing people involved, to actively engage them in the project and ensure that the project is coproduced. The work will be carried out in three key locations and your challenge will be to represent the voices of people with lived experience in service design discussions and see that the language used in documentation and proposals is appropriate to the issues women face. Along the way, you'll also work with a variety of stakeholders to support and encourage involvement through various means and make sure opportunities are available for all to be involved.
About you
Personal experience of homelessness or poor housing and an understanding of how these issues have affected you would be an advantage. You’ll need to be dynamic and have experience of working with people who have direct experience of homelessness or poor housing, or similar issues. You'll also need a proven ability to use different methods to encourage participation and help those involved meet their potential. Adept at networking and information gathering, you have the excellent all-round communication and interpersonal skills it takes to work closely with an Involvement Team and other internal stakeholders. And, because your workload will be varied and demanding, you'll need excellent skills in prioritising, organising and boundary setting and a willingness to travel regularly between Sheffield, Bristol and Birmingham to get the job done.
Due to the specific requirements of the role we are only considering applications from women for this role. The Equality Act 2010, Schedule 9, Part 1, Paragraph 1 applies to this post.
Benefits
We offer a wide range of benefits, including 30 days of annual leave (pro rata), enhanced family friendly policies, pension and interest free travel loans. Our employees also have access to a tenancy deposit loan, payroll giving, cycle to work scheme and an employee assistance programme.
Shelter helps millions of people every year struggling with bad housing or homelessness through our advice, support and legal services. And we campaign to make sure that, one day, no one will have to turn to us for help. We're here so no one has to fight bad housing or homelessness on their own.
To find out more about the role and the benefits of working for Shelter please visit our website. Apply to be part of our Women's Centred Services team and be the change you want to see in society.
Safeguarding is everyone's business. Shelter is committed to protecting the health, wellbeing and human rights of those we support, and enabling them to live free from harm, abuse and neglect. All our staff will be expected to observe professional standards of behaviour and conduct their work in line with our Safeguarding Policies.

We make employment decisions by matching business needs with skills and experience of candidates, irrespective of age, disability (including hidden disabilities),gender, gender identity or gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, or sexual orientation.

We are happy to talk about flexible working, personal growth, and to promote a workplace where you can be yourself and achieve success based only on your merit.

COMMUNITY CONNECTOR, MOVING FORWARD CENTRAL NOTTS, SUTTON IN ASHFIELD, FRWK07 £20,133 – 21,866, PERMANENT, 37 HPW
The County Moving Forward team provides floating support to people with mental health issues who have a housing or financial support need. There is currently a vacancy for a Community Connector within the team.
What is a Community Connector? It’s a key part of the service where we connect the people we support with any opportunity, service or activity in their local community that helps them stay resilient, gain knowledge and skills, and stay more independent. Many people we support are socially excluded and struggle to know how to access opportunities available to them. The aim is to help educate and empower people to gain the help they need in the community rather than returning to longer term support services. Being able to be an active part of their community or just even know where to go to get something done – e.g. joining a social group - is a positive step in staying independent and well.
The Moving Forward Community Connectors research, build connections and maintain relationships with a wide range of projects, services and organisations within the area that they work and the wider county. From this resource of information we can support people to begin their journey – whatever that might be. This could include becoming a volunteer, looking for training, making new friends – or learning new skills such as how to navigate the benefits system successfully, how to use the internet effectively or set up an email account - the list is endless. The skill of the community connector is to build interest, motivation and confidence in the person to create a better life for their future.
We work with people individually or in small groups to explore how they can build their confidence, together with skills and knowledge that will help them find a route to their own personal goals.
We are looking for an enthusiastic and committed person who can help people find their own solutions and aid them in planning a way forward. The successful candidate should be able to assess service users’ needs and offer viable options in a positive and safe way. The ability to design and deliver short, well planned and fun activities that engage socially excluded people is a must. The role will also advise and support core MF keyworkers to identify socially inclusive options for the people they support. The post holder would be expected to help recruit volunteer peer mentors and assist in their training and development. There is training available to achieve a Level 3 Award in Education and Training (RQF) qualification within 12 months. The post holder must have a current driving licence and access to a car.
What we offer: Life Assurance, Pension (up to 4% matched by FHA), Enhanced Maternity, Paternity and Adoption Benefits, Additional Annual Leave Purchase Scheme, Employee Assistance Programme, Learning programmes tailored to suit different roles and services, Health Cash Plan.
Framework supports all employees to achieve a better work/life balance. Should you wish us to consider flexible working or job share as part of your application please state this on your application in the supporting statement section.
97% of the workforce in a recent staff survey said they were proud to work for Framework.

Over the last four years we have been on a mission to improve our advice service offer in order to help more people, focusing much of our service development on hard to reach groups and communities. In 2015/16 we supported about 4500 unique clients, this year we are hoping to support over 12,000.

We hope you want to join us as we seek to help people living and working in Rotherham with good quality advice and information.
