The Role:  We are looking for a motivated, compassionate and dedicated individual to join our homelessness team, which provides essential survival support and advice to people who are rough sleeping and/or vulnerably housed. We welcome applications from those with lived experience of homelessness.

The successful applicant will be committed to the mission and values of St Petrock’s. They will have significant experience of working with disadvantaged people who may exhibit challenging behaviour and will also understand the importance of confidentiality and discretion. They will be adaptable and flexible, capable of working both on their own initiative and enjoy the variety and challenge of working as part of a team within a busy charity.

For a full Job Description and Person Specification, please see details in the attached Job Pack (which can be viewed when you start your application).

To apply, please include your CV,  and full cover letter as per instructions in the Job Pack.  We will also ask you to complete a Disclosure Form via email in line with our safeguarding requirements.

There is no fixed closing date. We are looking to appoint as soon as possible.

Important Information:  Please note only male candidates will be considered for this post. Many of our clients are highly vulnerable and have experienced trauma, meaning they often make disclosures of a very personal and sensitive nature.  Given that around 80% of those we support are male, it is therefore essential that the team includes at least one male Project Worker in order to enable this support to be delivered safely, to avoid re-traumatisation and to ensure good safeguarding practice.  Therefore, in accordance with the Equality Act 2010, St Petrock’s will have an Occupational Requirement for this post to be filled by someone who is male.

We use “safer recruitment” practices throughout our recruitment processes, and all successful candidates will be subject to the highest level of DBS check that is legally permissible for their role. Any offer of employment is subject to a satisfactory DBS check.

This is not a typical administrative role. As General Administrator at New Citizens’ Gateway, you will be at the heart of a charity that believes everyone deserves safety, dignity and the opportunity to thrive.

From being the first welcoming point of contact at reception, to supporting frontline staff, managing communications and keeping vital systems running smoothly, you will play a key role in ensuring our services are accessible, effective and compassionate.

You’ll be joining a small, dedicated team where collaboration, respect and inclusion are not just values on paper, but how we work in practice. Your organisational skills, attention to detail and ability to juggle priorities will help enable our advisers, youth workers and mental health teams to focus on what matters most — supporting people in need.

• Regular supervision and ongoing support in a collaborative environment

• A strong commitment to equality, dignity and respect in the workplace

This role is ideal for someone who wants their work to have real social impact, enjoys variety, and takes pride in being the backbone of a busy, mission-driven organisation.

If you are motivated by purpose, comfortable working with diverse communities, and want to contribute to meaningful change, we would love to hear from you. Interview date 09/02/2026

The Cathedral has a particular responsibility to safeguarding children, young people, and vulnerable adults in the Cathedral community. It shares this responsibility with the Diocese of St Albans. This work is wide‑ranging, and the Cathedral Safeguarding Officer (CSO) plays a central role in maintaining good safeguarding practice.

This part‑time role (15 hours per week) becomes vacant as the current postholder retires after four years, with time planned for handover with the person appointed to the role now. The CSO works with senior staff and the governing body to help lead policy development, training, reporting, and compliance with Church of England guidance. They report to the Canon for Mission and Pastoral Care and receive regular professional supervision from the National Safeguarding Team, with occasional networking with other CSOs.

Safeguarding is recognised as a shared leadership responsibility. The CSO meets weekly with senior clergy to review cases and will also work with the newly appointed non‑executive Safeguarding Lead on Chapter, the Cathedral’s governing body.

A core part of the role is promoting safeguarding awareness across the Cathedral community and understanding all activities involving children, young people, and vulnerable adults. The CSO provides professional advice on concerns raised, ensuring responses follow law and national policy, and works closely with diocesan and national safeguarding teams on complex cases. They also ensure appropriate support for survivors and proper management of those who pose risk.

About You

The Cathedral is seeking candidates with strong knowledge and professional experience in relation to safeguarding issues and proven experience working collaboratively in teams.

The post will require some flexibility in working patterns and will therefore require occasional weekend working and the ability to respond to urgent cases.

The successful candidate will hold a relevant professional qualification and relevant experience and expertise in child and/or adult protection.

How to apply

If you have questions about the post, please contact the Head of HR, Michelle Ovenden.  For further details including an application form and job pack please visit the Cathedral website vacancies page.

Applicants should submit a covering letter and application form (which can be downloaded from the cathedral website) to the Head of HR, Michelle Ovenden
