About LEAP
LEAP is built on the foundation of strong, supportive relationships that empower residents to move towards stable, independent living. Through one-to-one key worker support, trauma-informed care, and community engagement, residents rebuild trust, form friendships, and gain confidence. Activities like gardening, arts and crafts, and creative writing foster connection and personal growth, while group involvement helps residents feel part of a wider community. LEAP also supports residents to take steps into peer mentoring, volunteering, and training, helping them build positive networks beyond their immediate circle and develop the skills and confidence to thrive independently.
At LEAP, community involvement is at the heart of their work. Empowering residents through co-production is a key organisational goal. LEAP offer a range of inclusive engagement methods—from informal gatherings like group breakfasts and creative activities, to structured sessions such as support needs mapping and Residents’ Forums. These forums provide regular opportunities for feedback and co-design, with input reaching senior management and trustees. They are enhancing resident engagement by developing a mutual support network for staff with lived experience of homelessness and/or addiction. This group will shape services and policies, and guide resident outreach. LEAP also collaborates with local partners like RAW, a social enterprise offering training and employment to those with lived experience, and strengthens ties with adult education providers such as Abingdon and Witney College. We also create pathways to volunteer with cultural institutions like the University of Oxford Museums.
LEAP empowers people with lived experience of homelessness and/or addiction, helping them build the confidence and skills needed to move towards independent living and employment. Over three years, the project aims to support 750 individuals. Through a wide range of engaging and meaningful activities, residents will experience positive outcomes such as increased confidence, self-esteem, and a sense of inclusion. They will build supportive networks, learn key life skills and access training, volunteering, and employment opportunities. Many will gain qualifications and secure long-term accommodation. The project strengthens peer support and enables residents to shape services through formalised Residents’ Forums, ensuring their voices influence senior decision-making. For Homeless Oxfordshire, LEAP enhances our capacity to deliver peer-led support, builds staff knowledge, and informs service improvement. Wider community benefits include reduced stigma around homelessness, stronger partnerships with employers and organisations, and improved understanding of the issues faced by our residents—ultimately contributing to a more inclusive and compassionate society.

YMCA St Paul's Group aims to support and empower young people and communities throughout London and beyond by providing life-changing youth work, essential community services, inclusive health and wellbeing centres, and supported accommodation for those who are at risk of homelessness. As one of the largest YMCAs in Europe, we’re proud of our dual identity as a Charity and Registered Provider of Social Housing.
As part of a bold phase of planned growth under our three year strategic plan, the role of Group Director of New Business & Partnerships has been created. This is an opportunity for a forward-thinking leader to help shape the future of YMCA St Paul’s Group by developing impactful partnerships and unlocking new business opportunities that align with our mission.
Working closely with the CEO and the Executive Team, you will lead our business development efforts, build strategic partnerships, and position YMCA St Paul’s Group to grow our reach and relevance. While the initial focus will likely be in Housing and Support, we also see huge potential in Health & Wellbeing services and beyond.
We are looking for an enterprising and inclusive leader with a strong track record of business development within commissioned or regulated services. You will bring commercial acumen, a collaborative spirit, and a natural ability to build relationships with a wide range of stakeholders. While housing experience is valuable, we also welcome candidates with transferable knowledge and experience from other regulated sectors. You do not need to be of Christian faith, but you must be able to respect our ethos and uphold the values we live by.
At YMCA St Paul’s Group, it’s our people who make the difference. We’re committed to creating an environment where colleagues feel a deep sense of belonging and are supported to grow and thrive. That’s why we were recently recognised as one of the UK’s Best Workplaces for Development by Great Places to Work – an achievement that reflects our culture of care, learning and continuous improvement.
