- Role: Frontline jobs

Job Description
About the role
The Passage has secured funding to deliver a 1-year pilot, exploring how the use of peer support can prevent further homelessness and increase social mobility, by giving people the support and confidence to get reintegrated into the community.

The pilot will offer a range of interventions including 1:1 support, community events and online training.
The Passage recognizes that someone’s journey of homelessness doesn’t just end when accommodation is secured. What is often a confidence-stripping and traumatizing experience can take time to recover from.

- Meeting potential referrals, explaining the scope of the service, and undertaking person centered role matching.
- Identify challenges including safeguarding issues encountered by volunteers

- To support the Lived Experience Project manager in reporting to key stakeholders about the project, including attendance at some external meetings.
Key responsibilities
- In conjunction with your Line Manager to continuously develop the role to ensure that all tasks are being undertaken in an effective and appropriate manner which meets the strategic aims and objectives of The Passage.

- To at all times undertake your role in a professional manner maintaining a high- quality standard of work, and to always work in accordance with the aims, values and ethos of The Passage1.
- Undertake any other duties that may be required which are commensurate with the role.

Homes are now available for a wide range of people experiencing homelessness: people in recovery from addiction, people sleeping rough, women and children fleeing domestic violence, people coming out of rehab, former prostitutes, refugees, those suffering mental health issues and survivors of human trafficking.
Roughly, 50% of our homes are in our ‘line-managed cities’ (Peterborough, Norwich, Nottingham, Cambridge), the other 50% are found across a further 30+ towns which we franchise into.
We encourage others to replicate our model through franchising. The tragedy of homelessness is in every community. Our vision is for every church to lovingly provide the homeless with a home.

At YMCA DownsLink Group, our mission is to help children and young people have a fair chance to be who they want to be. We do this by providing a safe home, building life skills and self-confidence, and supporting emotional wellbeing and mental health.
Our Values - we do what’s right, we work with heart, and we build real connections - guide and shape how we show up for children and young people we support and for each other.
YMCA What is Sexual Exploitation (WiSE) is our child sexual exploitation project which works with children and young people across Sussex and Surrey. Our primary focus of work is supporting young people affected by exploitation through raising awareness, education and empowerment.

About Us:
For 60 years, RESPONSE has been pioneering mental health supported housing services for over 500 adults and hundreds of Young People across West Berkshire, Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire.
Mental health and multiple disadvantage is the common thread through all our services. We deliver this through enabling individuals to live safely and well in communities, offering housing, psychologically informed care, life skills and support in developing social connections. We provide a sliding scale of support - from prevention interventions in local communities to intensive support for serious mental illness in our CQC registered care home. Our approach positions us as a support and care organisation first with housing as an enabler, not the product.
Our AMBITION is illustrated in our numerous NHS and Council contracts and turnover of around £18m, meaning we’re well-placed to deliver life changing services in the community, with our high quality support and stable homes.
How to Apply:
Response will continue to build an inclusive culture that encourages, supports, and celebrates the diverse voices of our employees and individuals accessing our services. We are proud of our commitment to diversity and inclusion and welcome applicants from under represented backgrounds.
