About the role:
At Grace House, SHP’s specialist 11-bed hostel for women in Camden, you’ll step into a leadership role that offers real purpose and the chance to drive meaningful, lasting change. As Service Manager, you’ll be at the helm of a pioneering service that supports women experiencing multiple disadvantage; homelessness, domestic abuse, substance use, poor mental health and the ongoing impact of trauma and exploitation. You’ll guide and inspire a skilled, passionate team dedicated to a trauma-informed, gender-responsive approach that supports each woman to reclaim safety, rebuild trust and shape a life on her own terms.
This is a unique opportunity to lead a service known for its compassion, collaborative ethos and commitment to continuous learning.

We offer a leadership journey grounded in reflective practice, robust supervision and access to development pathways that will support you to lead not just this service, but potentially others in the future.

If you're ready to lead with purpose and make a difference that lasts, this is where your next chapter begins.
Please note: This role is open to female applicants only under Schedule 9, Paragraph 1 of the Equality Act 2010, as the service delivers trauma-informed support to women affected by Violence against Women and Girls (VAWG.) We are committed to equal opportunities and actively welcome applicants from all backgrounds.
About you:
- Leadership that inspires confidence, compassion, and accountability.
- A proven track record of working within a trauma-informed, PIE service — ideally with women or multiple disadvantage groups.
- Experience of leading and developing a team with a focus on quality, outcomes, and values-led delivery.
- A deep understanding of the challenges faced by women experiencing homelessness, and a commitment to feminist and anti-oppressive practice.
- Strong partnership skills and the ability to advocate for clients within complex systems.

From supporting people in crisis to helping people take the final steps towards independence and employment, we make a difference to 12,000 lives every year across all 32 boroughs.
We offer you more than a job; we offer you a chance to be part of a compassionate, driven team that's committed to making a real difference in people's lives. You'll have the opportunity to lead, co-create, and inspire change while enjoying a collaborative, growth-oriented environment.
Join us in creating a brighter, more hopeful future for individuals in need.
