This is a unique opportunity to lead an innovative, multi-disciplinary service that sits at the intersection of homelessness support and legal advice.

What you’ll do:

  • Oversee day-to-day delivery, ensuring services are impactful, responsive, and centred on client needs
  • Build and strengthen partnerships with local authorities, rough sleeping services, immigration advisers, and the wider migrant sector

  • Champion best practice, delivering training and expert advice to professionals working with people experiencing homelessness

This role is primarily based at our Head Office, with occasional travel across London and Bristol to support your team and partners.

  • A track record of building effective, influential partnerships across housing, homelessness and immigration sectors
  • Proven experience leading, motivating, and developing teams to deliver high-quality services
  • A passion for improving systems and making a tangible difference in people’s lives
