Right to Work
To be considered for this role, you must have the right to work in the UK at the time of application. Unfortunately, Mayor’s Fund for London does not hold a Home Office sponsor licence and cannot offer visa sponsorship for this position.
Crisis is the national charity for people experiencing homelessness. We have embarked on our 10-year strategy for ending homelessness. We know it is not inevitable. We know together we can end it.
Location: Based in London office with homeworking is considered in line with Crisis’ Hybrid Working Policy
About the role
Crisis has laid out a vision, that by 2035 we will see all forms of homelessness in decline. We will bring about this impact through our three organisational aims, by:
- Securing the policies that solve homelessness
- Delivering services that end homelessness for people and places
- Building a community of people across Britain that are helping to end homelessness
To manage this bold ambition, we are planning in three-year cycles. Our current 2025-28 strategic plan outlines our key priorities – alongside national influencing, place-based system change, direct service delivery and greater audience engagement, we will also become a landlord for the first time in our 60-year history.
Sitting behind all of this is our strategic objective to achieve a sustainable operating model that ensures the health of the organisation and delivers our strategy. To do this we need to grow our income, diversify our income risk profile, and optimise our income generating operations.
A brand, marketing and fundraising strategy has been developed to implement these required changes. The Transformation Manager will be instrumental in translating that strategic intent into delivery, by designing and initiating an implementation programme that will help us transition to a more predictable, sustainable income model, grow our contactable database of supporters, improve supporter experience - particularly through focus on our supporter journeys, content plan and contact plans, and deliver £30m for 100 houses as part of our housing capital appeal.
Through direct programme management and embedding a new approach to delivery, this role will support Crisis to transition to new operational models and ways of working, delivering the shifts we need to achieve our long-term income goals.
About you
You’re proactive and collaborative, skilled at designing and initiating ways of working that motivate colleagues to galvanise around programme goals.
A proven programme manager, you know when a programme is on track, how to effectively manage risk, and unlock successful delivery.
Plus, you’re a forward thinker, recognising how an organisation needs to shift to deliver desired impact, with the practical ability to deploy sustainable solutions to that end.

We realise that long lists of criteria can be daunting, and you may not want to apply for a role unless you feel 100% qualified. However, if you feel you have relevant examples to answer the screening questions, we encourage you to apply.

We know that the more perspectives, voices, and experiences we can bring to this work, the better. We particularly welcome applications from people who have lived experience of homelessness, and people from all marginalised groups, communities, and backgrounds.
Working at Crisis
Our values, Bold, Impactful, Collaborative and Equitable, are at the heart of everything we do as we continue in our mission to end homelessness.
Our staff, members and volunteers are vital to getting the right government policies in place, providing breakthrough services, and building a supportive community. We’ll lead by example to nurture a positive and ambitious workplace guided by ending homelessness.
As a member of the team, you will have access to a wide range of employee benefits including:

Employee Relations Manager
£42,750 to £50,250 per annum, pro-rata
Fixed term 6 months, full-time (37.5 hours per week)
Hybrid working with regular travel to our London Bridge Office
What the job involves
This fixed-term role is a great opportunity for an experienced ER specialist who enjoys making things clearer, fairer and easier for managers and colleagues. We’re a big charity with a small well-managed ER caseload, so the focus is less on high-volume casework and more on strengthening the foundations that help people do their best work.
You’ll lead improvements following a recent ER audit, making our policies, processes, guidance and reporting clearer, more consistent and easier to use. You’ll also support some complex ER casework, coach managers through sensitive situations, and help develop practical training content on investigations, grievances, disciplinary hearings and appeals.
What we want from you
We’re looking for someone with strong ER experience, sound judgement and a supportive, inclusive approach. You’ll know how to balance fairness, compassion, consistency and organisational need, and you’ll be confident guiding managers through sensitive issues in a clear, calm and human way.
You’ll enjoy improving policies and processes, creating practical tools, and using ER data to spot themes, risks and opportunities to learn. Above all, you’ll build trust quickly and help us maintain an open culture where people feel listened to, respected and treated with dignity.
Why work with us?
Every man needs to know about the most common cancer in men – prostate cancer. It’s a real and present danger that takes over 12,000 of our dads, grandads, brothers and friends each year.
Prostate Cancer UK is the largest men’s health charity in the UK. We have a simple ambition – to stop prostate cancer damaging lives. We invest millions in research to revolutionise testing, treatment and care. We’re blazing a trail to a screening programme that could save thousands of lives with regular, accurate tests for all men at risk. And we work tirelessly to spread the word about risk and offer specialist support to people living with the disease.
Work with us and you’ll see your efforts pay off as we give men and their families the power to navigate prostate cancer.
Our commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion
At Prostate Cancer UK we’re committed to righting health inequalities across the UK, starting with those faced by Black men. This includes ground-breaking research into Black men's risk and working with communities directly to overcome barriers to the diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer. To make this happen, we're dedicated to being an inclusive, proactive organisation, as we strive to be Allies to Black communities. We’ll achieve this by advocating and working alongside those communities to promote change. We're also working to be Allies to each other, not only protected groups. In 2024, we launched our New Allyship Training Programme. All colleagues at Prostate Cancer UK will be trained to act and identify as an Ally.
We've also signed Business in the Communities Race at Work Charter, as a dedication to our Black health equity work and wider EDI priorities. As a signatory, we're responsible and accountable for driving positive change.
How and where we work
Colleagues attend the office at least four days per month (pro rata for part-time colleagues) to collaborate, build relationships, and support projects and decision-making. You can choose where to work the rest of the time. Travel to the office is a commute, so we pay our own travel costs.
Additional in-person attendance will be required during your first few months for induction and training, to support you to learn the role and get to know colleagues.
We trust colleagues to work flexibly while balancing personal commitments with the needs of the charity, and we are committed to making reasonable adjustments for colleagues with a disability, neurodiversity, or a long-term physical or mental health condition.
