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

Over the last few years Making Room has grown and continues to expand, reflecting the unmet need and demand for this unique kind of service. We are excited to be engaging with the local authority and NHS to establish commissioned services, raising the profile of hoarding and building momentum for improved and more joined-up support. Most of our cases are in Hackney, but we occasionally work in surrounding boroughs too.

We're seeking a Project Lead to guide Making Room through the next stage of its growth and development. You'll have responsibility for a small team of decluttering support workers and responsibility for the management, operational delivery and development of the service. Alongside this 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.

For this reason, the successful candidate will have a minimum of 3 years' experience supporting people with hoarding behaviour or other mental health conditions in a relevant context (for example mental health services, housing, social work or adult social care).

The role is for 3 days a week (0.6 FTE) but in order to meet short-term workload commitments we will be offering overtime (to be determined in consultation with post-holder) for the first 2-3 months.

We offer training, flexible working, the option for hybrid or fully remote working and the chance to be part of a small and friendly team in an organisation providing interesting and varied services for people who need support in North East London.
