Job Title: Innovation and Practice Manager – Youth Homelessness

Contract: Permanent, Full-Time
Salary: £37,221 – £41,741
Location: London
Closing Date: Monday 5th January 2026
Interviews: w/c 12th January 2026

Centrepoint, the UK’s leading youth homelessness charity, is looking for an Innovation and Practice Manager to join our Services team.

About us

We help vulnerable young people by giving them the practical and emotional support they need to find a job and live independently. Centrepoint provides homeless young people with accommodation, health support and life skills so they can move into education, training and employment. Our ambition is to end youth homelessness by 2037.

Together with our partners, we support over 16,000 young people each year.

About the role

This is an exciting new role focused on developing, testing and embedding innovative and best-practice approaches to ending youth homelessness.

You’ll work across Centrepoint and with external partners to coordinate innovation activity, develop replicable service models, influence practice nationally, and ensure that learning is captured, evaluated and shared widely. A strong emphasis of the role is co-production, ensuring young people and frontline practitioners shape everything we do.

Centrepoint operates a hybrid working model

The requirement is a minimum of 50% of your working week in the office. For most full-time colleagues, this means attending the office for five days over a two-week period (e.g. two days one week and three days the next). This will be adjusted accordingly for part-time or compressed hours contracts.

What you’ll be doing

  • Programme managing Centrepoint’s work to develop a replicable model to end youth homelessness across local authority areas
  • Coordinating innovation activity across services and partner organisations to ensure consistency, oversight and learning
  • Keeping abreast of best practice in youth homelessness in the UK and internationally
  • Developing best-practice tools and resources for commissioners and practitioners
  • Engaging and influencing local, regional and national partners to improve service delivery
  • Supporting evaluation, learning and dissemination of innovation outcomes
  • Ensuring meaningful co-production with young people and professionals with lived experience

What we’d be looking for from you…

  • Experience delivering, commissioning or managing services within a housing, homelessness or social care context
  • Strong understanding of the issues affecting young people at risk of homelessness
  • Experience coordinating projects or programmes involving multiple stakeholders
  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to influence at senior levels
  • Strong written skills, including producing reports and materials for external audiences
  • A genuine commitment to reducing youth homelessness and amplifying young people’s voices

Why join Centrepoint?

In return for your efforts you’ll receive a competitive salary, excellent learning and development opportunities, and a wide range of benefits including:

  • 25 days annual leave per year, rising to 27 with service
  • Healthcare cash plan (including dental, optical and therapies)
  • Private medical insurance
  • Income protection
  • Employer pension contribution of 5%
  • Cycle to Work scheme
  • Interest-free travel loan

At Centrepoint we challenge the discrimination within society that contributes to youth homelessness, and we are just as committed to fairness and equality within our organisation. We welcome applications from all backgrounds, including those with lived experience of homelessness.
