About the Reflective Practice Facilitator role:

Behind every young person finding stability, building confidence and beginning to trust in their future is a team doing demanding, deeply human work. Those teams need space to reflect, process their experiences and feel supported too. As a Reflective Practice Group Facilitator at Single Homeless Project (SHP), you'll help create that space, strengthening the relationships, understanding and approaches that shape young people's experiences of our services.

Working across our Young People's Services (including Greenwich, Lewisham, Camden, Islington, Waltham Forest), you'll establish and facilitate monthly reflective practice groups for frontline staff and managers, creating safe, supportive environments where colleagues can explore challenges, share experiences and think differently about their work. You'll help teams understand the impact of trauma, recognise how emotions and relationships influence their responses, and develop more thoughtful, confident and consistent approaches to supporting young people. This means navigating sensitive conversations, encouraging different perspectives and helping staff feel comfortable reflecting openly, even when the work is challenging.

About you:

• You have experience facilitating reflective practice groups in helping professions, or you're developing your skills through relevant training in group psychotherapy or reflective practice facilitation.
• You bring a relevant qualification in a mental health-related field, such as counselling, psychology or social work, or significant experience supporting young people and understanding the demands of frontline services.
• You understand reflective practice, group dynamics and trauma-informed and psychologically informed approaches, recognising how relationships, emotions and experiences influence the way people work.
• You can create safe, inclusive spaces for honest conversations, navigating sensitive situations, differing perspectives and emotional distress with confidence, empathy and clear professional boundaries.
• You are organised, approachable and collaborative, able to build trusting relationships across teams, maintain confidentiality and turn shared reflection into meaningful learning and improvements in practice.

Our attractive benefits package includes:

• A salary increase after successfully completing six month's probationary period
• A 37.5 hour working week including flexible working hours (core hours are 10am 4pm) in non-accommodation services
• 25 days annual leave, increasing annually to the maximum 30 days (plus paid Bank Holidays),
• A contributory pension scheme: Single Homeless Project will contribute the equivalent of 5% of your annual salary
• Staff Health Cash Plan and discounts scheme
• Comprehensive and integrated training programme designed specifically to develop the skills and knowledge involved in our work
