THE COMPANY
St Mungo’s Broadway provides a bed and support to more than 2,500 people a night who are either homeless or at risk, and works to prevent homelessness, helping about 25,000 people a year.

St Mungo’s Broadway was awarded the Assertive Engagement Service Commission in April 2014. The multi-located service focuses on supporting people from the homeless community, those with complex needs including substance use and health issues.  It is flexible, personalised, clinically led and maximises social inclusion; for individuals who may be traditionally excluded from mainstream services or who find accessing them more challenging.   As well as supporting clients’ progression into mainstream services, emphasis will be on signposting and client referrals into the most appropriate elements of Bristol Mental Health.

•    Leading, motivating and supporting a team of staff to effectively, assess, support and understand individual client needs and aspirations. 
•    Promoting client recovery and closely liaising with internal departments and external agencies.
•    Ensuring that the service and its staff can equip clients with the coping strategies, skills and confidence to eventually move into mainstream provision.  

THE PERSON
The ability to communicate with a wide range of people and establish and maintain close and effective working relationships with others is essential to this position.  Confidence to develop and implement new ideas, the determination to deliver results and the strength to rise to new challenges are also requirements of the role.
