Occupational Therapist - Homelessness / Complex Needs

Job Description Salary: £48,969 Grade: Level 4 Zone 2 Location: 5 Pancras Square N1C 4AG Contract Type: 12 -18 months Fixed-term/ Secondment Hours: Full Time (36 hours) Closing Date: Tuesday 26th August 2025; 23:55 (please note that this vacancy will close earlier if we receive a high number of applications) About Camden Camden is changing on the inside to make life better for everyone. Our residents and communities are at the heart of everything we do. We're home to the most important conversations happening today and we're making radical social change a reality, so that nobody gets left behind. Here's where you can help decide a better future for us all. How You'll Be Involved In 2022, Camden launched the Homelessness System Transformation (now called Homelessness System Partnership), a programme of work that recognises that no single organisation or service can address every need of someone experiencing homelessness. The Partnership brings together people and organisations to improve access to and experience of services, shaped by what people with lived experience tell us is important to them. At the heart of this programme is the principle and value of 'co-production,' which refers to a way of working where service providers work in equal partnership with people with lived experience of an issue to reach a collective outcome. This approach has been very successful to date and created opportunities for staff and partners to work together with people with experience of homelessness to design, test and implement solutions and influence change. In this role you will lead on all elements of co-production across the Homelessness System Programme to strengthen the programme and ensure it is shaped by the perspectives of those with lived experience at all levels, including strategic planning and service delivery. The role will include hiring, training, supervising and supporting people with lived experience, the Co-producers, to take part by recognising their strengths and sharing power with them. Alongside the Co-producers, you will use creativity and innovative thinking to formulate solutions to the challenges residents face. This post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act and will require an Enhanced DBS.
