About the role
The post holder will be responsible for managing property improvement works and new build projects, from internal approval, through competitive procurement of consultants and contractors, to practical completion. This will mean managing resources and contracts skilfully, through handling of legislative, regulatory and financial aspects of development and regeneration. All projects focus on Psychologically Informed Environments to support and improve the lives of our very vulnerable clients.
What we’re looking for
We are looking for an innovative and experienced property professional; someone that can lead the small but complex London centric development programme. The programme is small as is the team, so each person is pivotal and needs to be adaptable and a ‘self-starter’. The projects include major remodelling of existing hostels and move on accommodation, to new build of self-contained accommodation blocks, and office and mixed use fit-outs.
Reporting directly to the Director of Strategic Asset Management, until a Head of Development is appointed, you will have the opportunity to grow and achieve significant influence across St Mungo’s. You will work very closely with the Portfolio Management team, Property Services and client facing teams. With a recognised qualification or professional accreditation in property such as RICS and previous project management experience, you will need a detailed understanding of the development process from a commercial and legal perspective with a comprehensive understanding of housing/residential development and management; ideally experience gained from the affordable and specialist housing sector.
Above all we are looking for a passionate and innovative individual who embraces variety and the values of St Mungo’s to join our family.
We particularly welcome applications from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) applicants, as they are under-represented within St Mungo’s at this level.
What we offer
- Excellent Development and Growth Opportunities
St Mungo’s employees are encouraged to consider opportunities to develop new skills or progress including; secondments, internal transfers, application to new roles in the organisation or just to get involved in various projects happening within the organisation.
As a result last year 35% of our vacancies were filled by promotions. In 2019 we achieved We Invest in People Gold level accreditation and are one of just 3% of housing associations to achieve this standard; 82% of staff who took part in the IIP survey say St Mungo’s is a great place to work.
- A Diverse and Inclusive Work Place
At St Mungo’s, equality, diversity and inclusion are central to the organisation's values and how we work. We are proud of our commitment to diversity and inclusion and have 8 great Diversity Networks to support clients and staff from different backgrounds so they are able to be their best selves. Our Networks include: BAME, Carers and Parents, Lived Experience, LGBTQIA+, Disability Awareness, South West, Irish and Women’s Action.
- Flexible Working and Pension
We are committed to maintaining your work/life balance. We offer 25 days annual leave, and operate a very popular Flexi Time scheme, which allows you to supplement your annual leave entitlement. After 5 years, staff annual leave entitlement increases to 28 days.
St Mungo’s contribute 4% of your gross annual salary, and you are able to enrol in the Defined Contribution scheme following a successful probationary period in which the employer contribution is 6%.
What we do
At St Mungo’s our vision is that everyone has a place to call home and can fulfil their hopes and ambitions. As a homelessness charity and housing association, our clients are at the heart of what we do, and in 2019 we supported nearly 30,000 people who were either homeless or at risk of becoming homeless.

Changing Faces is looking for an experienced, qualified, innovative Service Manager to lead us through an exciting time in our Wellbeing Service.
Working closely with the Head of Wellbeing Service, the successful candidate will lead the development and implementation of our new clinical model and head up good practice and quality assurance across our range of wellbeing services to people affected by a visible difference.
We are always looking for talented people from all backgrounds to join us and help improve the lives of people with visible differences. Changing Faces is committed to achieving greater staff diversity. We welcome applications from people from all sections of the community irrespective of race, gender, age, disability, sexual orientation, religion or belief. In line with our commitments to race equity, we are particularly seeking applications from people of colour/ people from BAME backgrounds. We actively encourage people with a visible difference to apply. We are also always open to conversations about flexible working.
People with visible differences are vulnerable to isolation, loneliness, social anxiety and low self-esteem. They face staring, harassment, bullying and even hate crime. They experience lowered expectations in school, problems getting work and stereotyping in the media. This can have a devastating, and lasting, impact on their wellbeing – we know one in three people with a visible difference feels depressed, sad or anxious because of how they look.
Changing Faces provides unique practical, social and emotional support for children, young people and adults affected by visible difference, we challenge discrimination, and we campaign for a world that respects difference.
Our Wellbeing services build confidence and resilience – giving people the tools to manage their feelings, cope in different social settings, handle other people’s reactions or deal with transitions such as starting school, university or work. We are going through an important period of change and development in the Wellbeing Services – both launching our national children and young people’s model and embarking on a revisioning and redefinition of our 1-1 and clinical model across the service.
Changing Faces wants a future where everyone with a visible difference on their face or body has the confidence, support and opportunity to lead the lives they want.
Salary range / benefits: £37,938.34 – £42,688.68 (Changing Faces’ policy is to offer posts at the first point on this scale / negotiable); 25 days basic holiday; 6% pension contribution

About us
Crisis is the national charity for homeless people. We know that homelessness is not inevitable. We know that together we can end it.
About the role
Do you want to play a crucial role in helping Crisis develop our place-based approach to ending homelessness in Great Britain?
Can you help us find the answers to what a place must actually do, or provide, to end homelessness?
Crisis is committed to building a programme of support to be available to, and effective for, any and all communities seeking to end homelessness in Britain. Our ‘Everybody In’, plan sets out how we can end homelessness in GB. As part of this we are investing resources in two or three local areas so that we can prove what can be done when a place-based approach is taken.
Each place based partnership will mean both Crisis and the local authority in that place commits to putting a plan into action to achieve an end to homelessness there, helping to lead the way for others to learn what needs to be done to end homelessness in an area for good. This role needs someone with the right skills and experience to work with each place based partner we have secured.
This role can be based at any of our 11 nationwide offices; Croydon, Central London, Brent, Oxford, Coventry, Birmingham, Rotherham, Liverpool, Newcastle, Edinburgh or South Wales
About you
Are you passionate about ending homelessness? Do you want to work in a team that values people’s skills and life experiences, whatever their background?
Do you have demonstrable experience on the commissioning, management and delivery of evidence reviews that will help us understand how aspects of a system need to work differently to prevent and put an end to homelessness? Do you have experience of managing systems and databases to design services and inform decision-making? Can you bring people together and be able to communicate clearly and assertively, presenting complex research information in a user friendly way?
If this excites you and you have the skills and aptitudes we need, then we would like to hear from you. Interviews will be in early to mid March 2021
Benefits
As a member of the team you will have access to a wide range of employee benefits including:
• Interest free loans to purchase a train season ticket or a bike or for a deposit to secure a tenancy
• Mandatory pension scheme, with an employer contribution of 8.5%
• 25 days’ annual leave which increases with service to 28 days
Alongside our excellent staff benefits, we will support your ongoing development to build your skills, experience and career. We really value people’s lived experience of homelessness and want to help develop diverse, committed and passionate people to help us end homelessness.
