Reflective Practice Facilitator

About this role

About the 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. Your influence will extend beyond the group sessions themselves. You'll work closely with Service Managers, the Reflective Practice Lead and colleagues across our Psychologically Informed Environments (PIE) work to identify emerging themes, share learning and strengthen reflective practice across services.

You'll balance the importance of confidentiality with ensuring concerns are appropriately communicated, helping turn reflection into meaningful improvements in how teams work together and support young people. This is an opportunity to bring your knowledge, empathy and curiosity into a specialist role with genuine influence across our services. You'll receive supervision, work alongside experienced colleagues and continue developing your facilitation practice, while helping create a culture where staff feel supported to learn, grow and deliver the thoughtful, compassionate support every young person deserves.

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.
