  • Relevant experience in housing, support work, health and social care, or a related field.
  • Strong communication, interpersonal and stakeholder management skills.
  • Experience of housing management and delivering effective support services.
  • A values-driven approach aligned with our mission and organisational objectives.
  • Ability to work in a trauma-informed way, recognising and responding to the impact of trauma.
  • Understanding of, and experience working within, psychologically informed environments.
  • Ability to build positive and professional relationships with young people, colleagues and external partners.

  • Travel may be required to attend professional meetings, team training sessions, and conferences.
  • The postholder must be able to live and work within Greater London.
Our Offer
In return, we offer a competitive and supportive benefits package, including:
  • 26 days annual leave plus bank holidays, increasing to 31 days
  • Westfield Healthcare Cash Back Plan (including cashback for optical, dental, therapies, plus 24/7 GP access and counselling support)
