Making Room Project Lead - CLOSED

Making Room is an innovative support service for people with hoarding behaviour. We provide therapeutic and practical decluttering support to help people who are struggling with their living situations achieve their goals and priorities and make long-lasting changes to their behaviour. 

We're seeking a Project Lead to manage the service and work with their own caseload. You'll manage a small team of decluttering support workers and have responsibility for the management, operational delivery and development of the service.

You'll also maintain your own caseload which will include people with varying levels of need, some of whom will have complex needs and severe hoarding behaviour. 

You don’t need to have had direct previous experience working with people who hoard; general experience working with people confronting mental health challenges in settings like mental health services, housing or social care will put you in a great position to learn. If you’d like to discuss your experience and whether it’s a good fit before you apply, please feel free to contact Fiona Berry using the details below.

Here’s our former Project Lead Nele explaining why you should apply…

Key skills for this job are having an understanding of mental health and the ability to think creatively and outside of the box… everything else you can learn on the job! - Nele, former Project Lead

Over the last few years Making Room has grown significantly and continues to expand, reflecting the need and demand for this unique kind of service. We are really excited to be engaging with Hackney Council and the local NHS to establish commissioned services, raising the profile of hoarding and building momentum for improved and more joined-up support in Hackney and beyond. The Project Lead will play a key role in achieving this vision.

The role is for 3 days a week (0.6 FTE) and the salary will be £32,500 - £35,000 pro rata per annum, depending on experience.

Please see the job description and person specification for details of the role and the skills and experience we are looking for.

If you have any questions or would like to know more about the service, the requirements and what a typical day looks like, please contact Fiona Berry (fiona.berry@mrsindependentliving.org) or phone us on 0330 380 1013.

To apply, please send a completed application form to jobs@mrsindependentliving.org as soon as possible. We will be carrying out interviews on a rolling basis.
