We’re now looking for a Housing First Team Leader to join our Wandsworth team on a full-time, permanent basis.
This is a superb opportunity for an individual with drive, focus and a desire to work within our outstanding charity to help us combat homelessness. You’ll discover a passionate, supportive environment, where the entire team are working towards the same goals and are dedicated to making positive change and producing great results.
THE ROLE
In this crucial role, your focus will be on the service delivery of SPEAR’s Housing First model. You will work with staff and management teams to deliver this innovative model of housing society’s most vulnerable people; you will help us drive forward a collective vision of inclusion and participation across the organisation. Housing First is a SPEAR service that provides independent tenancies with registered social landlords via the council nomination process and intensive personalised support to rough sleepers who have not progressed through any supported accommodation pathway.
The purpose of the Housing First Team Leader is to co-ordinate a comprehensive service to the accommodation-based schemes in multiple boroughs that are provided to former homeless clients with whom we work. The post will work in direct partnership with the Outreach Team, as well as other relevant services within the boroughs to ensure that clients in accommodation receive a planned and effective service.
ABOUT YOU
You’ll have a broad range of frontline experience; you will have experience of working with people that present with complex and sometimes challenging behaviours. You will have experience of working with processes and systems to achieve continuous improvement across your service remit. You’ll have a track record of multi-disciplinary working, case management, risk assessing, data recording, and safeguarding. The ability to build positive and rewarding relationships and influence is essential to this role.
