The Upstream Manager will play a crucial role in Roundabout’s work to prevent youth homelessness, by ensuring effective delivery of Roundabout’s pre-16 prevention pilot in secondary schools in Sheffield. They will work closely with participating schools to ensure the Upstream survey is completed by young people, and undertake comprehensive assessments of the needs and risks of individual young people identified by the survey.
Based on these assessments, the Upstream Manager will ensure one-to-one advice and support is provided, and refer young people to suitable support services, drawing on a diverse range of partner services, including family mediation, mental health support and school based programmes.
The Upstream Manager will provide line management to a team of 5 Upstream Project Workers focusing on casework, reviews and safeguarding of the children and families that the team are working with. They will coordinate multi-agency case meetings and work across all schools to ensure that the work is able to be undertaken, leading on the coordination with a range of stakeholders of the project.
Robust monitoring and evaluation data will need to be collected by the Upstream Manager to demonstrate the impact of the service on young people’s outcomes and reporting requirements for funders.
