We particularly encourage applications from candidates with lived experience of homelessness who we believe are an essential asset in our sector.

We are committed to being an inclusive employer and welcome the opportunity to consider flexible working arrangements.

About the Role

The Intensive Engagement Hub is an innovative new pilot service, run in partnership with Westminster City Council.

You will have the chance to be part of this exciting new approach to engage people experiencing rough sleeping who are furthest from help.  

As part of a small team, you will work intensively with people rough sleeping in Westminster whose physical and mental health, and engagement with services is creating a persistent barrier to their full assessment and plan to move into stable accommodation.

The pilot will provide;

• Full time wrap around case work for a cohort of approximately 20 people at a time, using the principles of a psychologically informed approach, to develop a plan with the person to support their move on into longer term accommodation, alongside building up a network of professionals around them to support wider stabilisation with health needs. The caseload will be distributed across the team 

• A schedule of temporary accommodation ‘hubs’ set up throughout the year and run from our Centre in Adelaide St. Each hub will offer communal style accommodation for each cohort and will run for up to 8 weeks (we plan to run 4 Hubs throughout the year). The offer of accommodation will be providing an incentive to engage, alongside a short term period of stability to focus on peoples physical & mental health, assessment and facilitation of access to other support services. 

As a result, we will be able to make a new offer to rough sleepers, for whom existing approaches have not been successful, giving them fresh opportunity to engage with the life changing services available that will stabilise them to be ready to move into settled accommodation.  

This is a pilot project, so this will be an opportunity to be part of testing a new approach, which if successful could dramatically improve systems and practices for the those with the most complex needs across the UK.

You will be flexible, adaptable and open to new ways of working, willing to try new approaches and being prepared to learn from mistakes. When the accommodation hubs are open the role will require flexibility and a rota system to ensure evening cover during the week and weekends (overnight cover not required). 

You will be joining the wider dynamic and creative team at The Connection who are grounded in building trust through relationships, providing harm minimisation to our clients whilst promoting a sense of belonging, and working with clients to support them on their journey towards a place to call home.

About us

Remember A Charity

Remember A Charity is a vibrant behaviour change campaign that aims to inspire the public to leave a charitable gift in their Will. Working collaboratively, the campaign’s mission is to do what no organisation can do alone, growing the legacy market and normalising charitable gifts in Wills.

Why grow legacy giving? Charitable gifts in Wills are one of the largest sources of voluntary income in the UK, raising £4.5 billion for good causes each year. As such, it’s a crucial source of income for thousands of charities, particularly in the current economic climate.

Established in 2000, Remember A Charity now represents almost 200 member charities, who work together to drive change through inspiring consumer campaigns, strategic partnerships with solicitors, Will-writers and professional advisers, and by lobbying government to enhance the wider legacy giving environment. The consortium encompasses a diverse range of charities, giving them the platform, resources and guidance to maximise their legacy fundraising. Remember A Charity works all year round to promote legacy giving, also running Remember A Charity Week each September as a central focal point for public awareness activity.

Our four key strategic pillars are:

• Inspiring the UK public to leave a charitable legacy
• Embedding legacy giving across Will-writing and estate planning
• Influencing government & decision-makers to protect and nurture the future of charitable legacies
• Equipping & enabling our members to maximise their legacy fundraising

Remember A Charity is part of the Chartered Institute of Fundraising and our goals align with its strategic priority of growing charitable giving.

Chartered Institute of Fundraising (CIOF)

The Chartered Institute of Fundraising is the UK's professional membership body for fundraisers, championing excellence, providing professional development and education, and fostering connections across the sector. We've launched a new ten-year strategy to tackle critical challenges like diminishing income, increasing demand for services, and issues such as fundraiser burnout and lack of investment that are impacting charities nationwide. We believe that every fundraiser should feel valued and nurtured.

This strategy focuses on four key pillars with clear five and ten-year targets: attracting, retaining, and nurturing fundraising talent to combat the "revolving door"; reframing the narrative to change perceptions of fundraising and drive investment; driving excellent fundraising practice, setting standards, ethics and guidance to build public trust; and fostering a culture that inspires more people to give to reverse declining donor numbers. Our ultimate aim is to double our impact in a decade, ensuring a sustainable future for both fundraisers and charities.
