The Role

We’re launching Phoenix, a ground-breaking pilot supporting prison leavers with complex mental health needs, and we’re looking for three experienced and passionate Project Leads to drive this forward.

As a Project Lead, you’ll play a pivotal role in coordinating a dedicated on-site team to deliver high-quality support that promotes mental wellness, reduces reoffending, and empowers individuals to thrive. You’ll oversee the day-to-day running of the project, from admissions and risk management to leading team performance and developing partnerships. You’ll also work closely with our evaluation partners to shape and evidence the impact of this pilot model.

This is an exciting opportunity to be at the heart of innovation in supported accommodation — ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, person-centred environment and brings experience from the criminal justice, social care, or mental health sectors.

• A proven track record in project leadership, ideally in criminal justice, social care, or the non-profit sector
• Experience managing a team and driving service performance in a care environment
• Strong decision-making skills and the ability to work independently under pressure
• A collaborative and compassionate approach to leadership
• Experience with community engagement and building external networks
• A working understanding of safeguarding, health and safety, and risk management in a social care context
• We particularly welcome applications from individuals with lived experience of mental ill health or the criminal justice system.
