Triangle congratulates Frontline Manager of the Year 2020

Triangle announced the winner of the Frontline Manager of the Year category at The Employment Related Services Association (ERSA) Employability Awards 2020 and congratulated Julia Marcus, London Borough of Camden Council on her achievement.

Triangle sponsored the Frontline Manager of the Year award and revealed the results of this category as part of ERSA’s virtual celebration, held to honour the achievements of those working to support jobseekers in their progression in to work.

Graham Randles, Triangle’s Managing Director awarded Julia Marcus, London Borough of Camden Council as this year’s winner. The award recognises her commitment to leading a frontline team to high performance and customer achievements.

Julia has supported hundreds of residents into work in Camden, using a personal and committed style that has made demonstrable impact on the local people. Julia took that learning and developed new ways of supporting residents into good work.

Julia spoke to ERSA further to receiving her award:

 “I passionately believe that good quality employment support can be transformative. We do our best to provide accessible and relational support to residents. And by exploring a whole range of factors – including money, childcare, transport, housing and health – we’re able to get to the heart of the challenges that people face around work. I know there’s so many wonderful services out there, so I’m particularly proud that our approach has been recognised.”

Working with Camden Council, Julia developed the Somers Town Job Hub, a service that connects residents, services and employers around a shared mission to address long-term unemployment. The ‘hub model’ that Julia delivered in Somers Town has since provided a foundation for Good Work Camden, the borough’s new approach to employment support.

 

Graham Randles commented:

 “It was an honour to present Julia with her Award – albeit virtually! Through her dedication, Julia has created a unique and individual approach to involving her local community to design a service. She’s shown an outstanding commitment to supporting jobseekers in their progression into work and is a very worthy winner of this important award.”

Finalists Lorna Beaton, Fedcap Scotland and Lesley Wood, Stockton Job Centre (nominated by Triage Central) were highly commended in the Frontline Manager of the Year category.

Award winners were announced as part of a virtual celebration on Thursday 23rd July 2020. Further details about the ERSA Employability Award winners can be found on the ERSA website.

The individuals in this category have shown an outstanding commitment and should be applauded for their vital work within their organisations and the sector at large.”

This webinar is a part of the ERSA Building Partnerships 2.0 summer webinar series.

The Outcomes Stars are evidence-based tools for measuring and supporting change when working with people. They are a great way for frontline services to demonstrate their impact whilst improving their keywork. The Work Star and the Pathway Star are both tailored specifically to the employment sector.

The Outcomes Stars are evidence-based tools for measuring and supporting change when working with people.

The Work Star has been designed for use with adults out of work or returning to the workplace. It provides a holistic framework for services to use when supporting service users, as well as a simple way of measuring progress to work.

The 3rd Edition of the Work Star was published in 2017 with input from the Department of Work and Pensions (Essex Social Justice Team), Prospects, Hounslow Council and The LightBulb.

The Pathway Star is the Outcomes Star for people overcoming barriers to work and is designed for use with people who need considerable support if they are to move towards work. This includes people currently facing significant barriers to work, such as health or housing problems, substance misuse, crime, domestic abuse, family culture (including generations of people not in work) or household finances.

The Pathway Star was developed by Triangle with service providers and commissioners from Liverpool City Region Combined Authority.

On behalf of everyone here at Triangle we look forward to seeing you at the Webinar and would like to extend a big thanks to ERSA and finally please sign up for our newsletter if you haven’t already.
