• A proven track record of working within a trauma-informed, PIE service — ideally with women or multiple disadvantage groups.
• Experience of leading and developing a team with a focus on quality, outcomes, and values-led delivery.
• A deep understanding of the challenges faced by women experiencing homelessness, and a commitment to feminist and anti-oppressive practice.
• Strong partnership skills and the ability to advocate for clients within complex systems.

From supporting people in crisis to helping people take the final steps towards independence and employment, we make a difference to 12,000 lives every year across all 32 boroughs.

We offer you more than a job; we offer you a chance to be part of a compassionate, driven team that's committed to making a real difference in people's lives. You'll have the opportunity to lead, co-create, and inspire change while enjoying a collaborative, growth-oriented environment.

Join us in creating a brighter, more hopeful future for individuals in need.
