Want to make a difference to people experiencing homelessness? Step into a meaningful role helping run one of our most important services.
The Programmes Executive plays a central role in making our weekly Drop-in a welcoming, well-organised and valuable space for homeless and vulnerably housed adults.
The Drop-in is the primary focus of this role. It is a hands-on operational and frontline position, with responsibility for helping the Drop-in run smoothly from preparation through to close. This includes managing deliveries and donations, ensuring the venue and kitchen are properly set up, organising resources, coordinating and briefing volunteers, working with security and overseeing the practical flow of the evening.
The role is about more than logistics. The Executive will be a key guiding presence in the space, helping to shape its structure, atmosphere and culture. They will be visible and approachable, build positive relationships with guests, anticipate and manage issues, support volunteers and help ensure that the Drop-in is calm, welcoming, safe and respectful.
The Executive will also listen to what is happening on the ground, identify what is working and what could be improved and feed this back to the wider team. They will help guests understand and access relevant RESTART LIVES programmes and opportunities. They will be an important part of the Programmes team, supporting essential data and reporting, researching and sourcing facilitators, helping with programme logistics, contributing ideas for new activities and opportunities for guests and attending selected sessions. As part of this, they will run or help to run some activities such as Zumba, film club and board games before the main Drop-in service. These provide another opportunity to build trusted relationships with guests and encourage engagement with wider support.
This is an energetic, varied and hands-on role, offering the opportunity to have a genuine and positive impact on the experience of our guests and the wider work of RESTART LIVES. If this sounds like the kind of role you’d enjoy and you think you could bring the energy, warmth and initiative we’re looking for, we’d be delighted to hear from you.
Please send your CV and a short cover letter (no more than half a page) explaining why you are interested in the role.
We will begin reviewing applications and interviewing as soon as possible and may close the advert early if we find the right candidate. If you think this role could be a good fit for you, we encourage you to apply as soon as possible.
Good luck - we look forward to hearing from you!
