About WSUP
Woolwich Service Users Project is a charity based in central Woolwich, supporting people experiencing homelessness, poverty, poor mental health, addiction, social isolation and multiple disadvantage. WSUP provides a welcoming, non-judgemental, open-access community space where guests can access practical support, health and wellbeing services, specialist advice, and trusted relationships.
Our work is rooted in lived experience, dignity and relational support. We meet people where they are, offering both immediate relief and pathways into longer-term stability, recovery and community connection. WSUP works closely with local and national partners across health, housing, recovery, advice and community wellbeing to reduce health inequalities and improve outcomes for people who often face barriers to mainstream services.

The Health Coordinator will also play a key role in developing and overseeing WSUP’s women’s service provision, including Women’s Wednesday. This will include coordinating health and wellbeing support, strengthening referral pathways for women, supporting peer-led activity, promoting safety and inclusion, and ensuring the service responds to the needs of women experiencing homelessness, domestic abuse, poor mental health, addiction, temporary accommodation, poverty, social isolation or resettlement barriers.

2. Development of Women’s Service Provision
· Lead the development and day-to-day oversight of WSUP’s women’s service provision, including Women’s Wednesday.

· Help ensure peer volunteers understand safeguarding, boundaries, confidentiality, lone-working and referral procedures.
· Contribute to volunteer briefings, debriefs and reflective practice where relevant.

Equity and Inclusion
The Joseph Levy Foundation is committed to building an inclusive and equitable workplace where everyone feels welcomed, valued and able to thrive. We actively encourage applications from people with different backgrounds, experiences and perspectives, particularly those who are underrepresented in the charity sector. We recognise that people develop their skills through many different pathways and welcome applications from candidates whose experience has been gained through employment, volunteering, education or lived experience.
About us
The Joseph Levy Foundation is an independent grant-making charitable organisation with a long-standing commitment to funding smaller, grassroots organisations. With an endowment of around £23m, our annual commitment in grants in recent years has averaged £500,000. We have recently embedded an ambitious strategy which aims to find, fund and support organisations and individuals who have ambitious ideas to help young people experiencing disadvantage.
In tandem with our strategy review, we have undergone a comprehensive change process, which includes refreshing our processes and embedding an equitable grant making procedure.
As we enter the midpoint of the new strategy we will continue to be ambitious by introducing a Young Advisory Board to guide our work and to coach and support charity leaders of the future. This continued commitment will see the Foundation lead with its values which are:
- Equity and inclusion
- Connectivity and collaboration
- Commitment and integrity
- Innovation and imagination
- Engagement and Joy for life
Head of Organisational Strategy and Operations (known internally as Infrastructure Lead) is a senior strategic leadership role within Healing Justice Ldn, working closely alongside the Executive Director to help shape and steward the organisational infrastructure, systems, and coordination practices needed for HJL’ s next phase of development.
The role exists to strengthen the connective infrastructure that enables HJL’ s organisational arms to operate autonomously while remaining aligned, collaborative, sustainable, and responsive within rapidly changing political, social, and movement landscapes.
Rather than focusing primarily on operational administration or hierarchical management, the role centres on developing values-aligned systems, organisational practices, and ways of working that support collective care, adaptability, organisational health, and long-term sustainability. Working across programmes, research, narrative strategy, operations, and leadership, the post holder will support communication, coordination, learning, and organisational coherence across the organisation while strengthening distributed leadership.
This role would suit someone who has previously held senior leadership responsibility across multiple organisational areas within a values-led, justice-oriented, community-based, or movement environment. As a newly created role within an evolving organisational structure, the responsibilities, focus, and ways of working within the role may continue to develop over time in response to organisational learning, growth, and changing needs.

- Develop organisational systems, structures, and practices that support autonomy, collaboration, accountability, adaptability, and collective wellbeing.
- Support organisational decision-making, governance, and ways of working that reflect HJL’ s commitments to disability justice, racial justice, accessibility, collective care, and community accountability.
- Help strengthen organisational resilience and responsiveness within changing political, social, funding, and movement conditions.
Infrastructure & organisational development
- Lead the development and stewardship of values-aligned organisational systems, policies, and internal processes.
- Build and strengthen the connective infrastructure that supports collaboration, shared learning, and coordination across different organisational areas.
- Support organisational learning, reflection, adaptation, and knowledge sharing processes across teams and leadership.
- Help create structures and organisational cultures that support sustainable collaboration, leadership development, conflict navigation, and organisational wellbeing.
- Work collaboratively with advisors, external partners, and leadership to support organisational sustainability and adaptive development.
Organisational sustainability & external relationships (Operational sustainability)
- Work alongside the Executive Director and external finance partners to support organisational sustainability, financial planning, and resource stewardship.
- Contribute to fundraising strategy, partnership development, and relationship-building with funders, collaborators, and aligned organisations.
- Support infrastructure connected to organisational growth, partnerships, and long-term sustainability.
- Build and maintain strong relationships across HJL s wider ecosystem of collaborators, movement partners, advisors, and aligned organisations.
Organisational health, risk and resilience (Risk, Resilience & Infrastructure)
- Identify, map and respond to organisational vulnerabilities, operational challenges and external pressures affecting HJL’ s work and sustainability.
- Support systems and practices related to safeguarding, accountability, evaluation, organisational learning, and collective wellbeing.
- Support the organisation to navigate complexity, uncertainty, conflict, and change in ways that remain adaptive, relational, and values-aligned.

About Healing Justice Ldn
Healing Justice Ldn (HJL) is a community-led organisation working at the intersections of health justice, collective care, healing, and systems change. Rooted in disability justice, transformative practice, and liberation work, HJL develops community-led approaches to wellbeing that address the structural impacts of racism, ableism, state violence, and inequality.
Through research, training, political education, movement support, and healing practice, HJL works to build the infrastructures, relationships, and capacities needed for long-term collective resilience and liberation. The organisation supports communities, organisers, practitioners, and movements to develop sustainable approaches to health, care, and social transformation.
HJL operates through an evolving organisational model centred around autonomy, connection, collaboration, and collective stewardship. Different organisational “ arms ” hold distinct areas of practice while remaining connected through shared values, coordination structures, and relational infrastructure.
As HJL enters a new phase of organisational development, there is an increasing need for organisational infrastructure, systems, governance, and connective coordination that can support sustainable growth while remaining responsive and accountable within rapidly changing political, social, and movement landscapes.
