Contract manager jobs in Lewisham, greater london

About the role:

This is a hands-on, people-facing role for someone who takes pride in creating spaces that really work. As our Facilities Manager, you’ll be the driving force behind safe, welcoming and well-run workplaces that allow our teams to focus on what matters most - supporting people out of homelessness. From the moment someone walks through the door of one of our offices, your work will be felt. If you’re someone who spots what needs fixing, improves things before they become problems, and enjoys being right at the heart of an organisation, this role is for you.

Based full-time at our Head Office in King’s Cross, you’ll be visible, present and involved - working on site five days a week and travelling across London to our other offices and services. No two days will look the same. One day you might be problem-solving with a manager, walking a site, or supporting a health and safety issue; the next you could be leading a refurbishment, improving how a space is used, or making sure contractors are delivering what they promised. You’ll manage a small facilities team, oversee reception services, and work closely with colleagues across Single Homeless Project (SHP) to make sure our buildings actively support the work happening inside them.

This is a role for someone who likes ownership and momentum. You’ll need to be practical, organised and confident making decisions - but also warm, approachable and collaborative. If you’re excited by the idea of being a visible leader, enjoy balancing detail with big-picture thinking, and want your work to directly enable frontline services across London, we’d love you to bring your energy, ideas and grit to SHP.

About you:

• You have hands-on facilities management experience and know how to keep buildings safe, functional and fit for purpose.
• You’re confident handling a wide range of property and technical issues, and know when to fix, escalate or bring in the right expertise.
• You hold a relevant Health & Safety qualification and are comfortable leading on compliance in busy office environments.
• You’ve procured and managed facilities contracts before and are confident holding suppliers and contractors to account.
• You’re a strong, people-focused communicator with experience managing staff and delivering a reliable, high-quality service to colleagues.

About Us:

We’re London’s leading homelessness charity – and we get things done.

In a city where hundreds are forced into homelessness every day, our work has never been more needed or more challenging. And we’re not shying away. We’re rolling up our sleeves to make change and helping over 10,000 Londoners every year. We prevent homelessness, provide safe places to live and give people the opportunity to rebuild their lives and transform their futures. And we never give up. 

We’re here for Londoners wherever they are on their journey. We start with trust, building relationships that help people feel safe, supported, and ready to move forward. Every day, we put people first in everything we do, challenging injustice and barriers that keep people from the safety, stability and opportunity they deserve. We stand alongside people as they rebuild and shape a future that feels their own. 

Joining Single Homeless Project means joining a team that’s bold, compassionate and determined to do better for the people we support and for each other. You’ll work alongside colleagues with lived experience, in a space that’s trans-inclusive, disability-friendly, and actively striving to be anti-oppressive and equitable. 

We’re not perfect, but we’re real. We listen. We learn. And we push forward, together. Because this isn’t just a job. It’s a chance to lead with empathy, spark change, and help build a London where no one is left behind.

Through its campaigns and projects, delivered with partners from every sector, Hubbub makes it easier for people to make positive environmental choices. It also provides evidence and insight to businesses and government on what works, helping to shape more effective policy and business action.

Hubbub’s projects are community-focused and deliver social benefits alongside environmental impact. By listening to and including people from all walks of life, Hubbub develops solutions that work for both people and planet. This includes reducing food waste while creating social spaces through the Community Fridge Network, regifting smartphones to extend the life of tech and reduce digital isolation, and helping communities reclaim unloved spaces for growing, play, and access to nature.

Following significant growth in Trusts & Foundations income over the past 18 months, Hubbub is well placed to build on this momentum and strengthen its fundraising.

Trusts & Foundations fundraising is a core part of the role. Reporting to the Head of Trusts and Foundations, the postholder will be responsible for prospect research, relationship development and bid writing, securing restricted, project-based funding aligned to funder priorities. This includes contributing to cases for support and working with programme colleagues to shape fundable project ideas.

Alongside this, the role supports business partnerships work. This includes contributing to proposal decks and written materials and helping shape project ideas as businesses explore working with Hubbub. Partnerships are typically service- or project-based. Trusts & Foundations expertise is the priority, and Hubbub can support the postholder to develop experience in business partnerships over time.

As Development Manager, you will:

• Contribute to delivery against Hubbub’s annual team fundraising target, securing mainly restricted Trusts & Foundations income for specific projects, roles and the scaling of proven work.
• Grow the Trusts & Foundations pipeline, focusing primarily on new business and building relationships with both solicited and unsolicited prospects.
• Lead on prospect research to identify Trusts & Foundations that align with Hubbub’s priorities, programmes and way of working.
• Develop and write clear, well-targeted cases for support, working closely with Project Leads and Directors to shape fundable propositions.
• Write high-quality Trusts & Foundations bids and supporting materials, taking opportunities through to submission and reporting.
• Attend funder meetings and events as required, primarily in and around London.
• Support colleagues working on business partnerships, including contributing to proposal decks and written materials for service- and project-based partnerships that typically run for three to twenty-four months.
• Stay informed about environmental and philanthropic trends, using this insight to connect funder interests with Hubbub’s work and strategic objectives.

Person specification

Essential

• A strong track record in Trusts & Foundations fundraising, with experience personally securing high five-figure and low six-figure grants (including new business, renewals and uplifts). Examples should be clearly evidenced on your CV.
• Full-cycle experience across Trusts & Foundations fundraising, from research and cultivation through to solicitation, reporting and ongoing relationship management.
• Confidence building new funder relationships from scratch, alongside stewarding existing ones, both in person and remotely.
• Demonstrable experience researching, prioritising and converting Trusts & Foundations prospects into secured funding.
• Proven ability to develop compelling, funder-specific cases for support that respond clearly to funding criteria.
• A collaborative working style, with experience working across teams and seniority levels to deliver high-quality bids to deadline.

Desirable

• Some experience of business partnership fundraising, or a clear interest in developing skills in this area alongside core Trusts & Foundations work.

Employee benefits

Employee benefits include:

• 25 days annual leave per year excluding bank holidays PLUS 2 weeks of office closure during Christmas
• 4-week paid sabbatical with 5-years service
• 5% employer pension contribution, with an ethical pension provider

Flexible working also includes any reasonable adjustments required to enable each person at Hubbub to work to the best of their abilities
