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:
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.
Please see the full Job Pack linked below, for a full list of requirements for this role. 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 believe diversity is a strength, and our aim is to make sure that Crisis truly reflects the communities we serve. We are actively working towards our organisation being a place where everyone can thrive and make their best contribution to our mission of ending homelessness for good. 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:
Alongside our excellent staff benefits, we will support your ongoing development to build your skills, experience, and career.
When you join us, you will have the opportunity to join our staff diversity networks, which aim to champion issues across the organisation, enable staff to be their authentic and best selves and contribute to making Crisis a truly diverse organisation.
