Do you have a passion for people and the planet, and a talent for building warm relationships with the individuals who make change possible? If so, we’d love to hear from you. This is a brilliant opportunity to join one of Farm Africa’s most exciting growth areas and build a career in high-value fundraising. Our Philanthropy department has grown by over 200% since it launched in 2024, and this newly created role puts you right at the heart of what comes next.

Working closely with the Head of Philanthropy and the Major Donor & Trusts and Foundations Manager, you’ll play a hands-on part across the full spectrum of major donor fundraising – from stewarding relationships and crafting compelling proposals to helping shape events and donor communications. You’ll be given real creative freedom to bring your ideas to life, alongside experienced fundraisers who’ll help you develop and grow. As the department grows, so too will this role.

Effective agriculture has the power to change lives. It underpins prosperity, food security and stability the world over. Farm Africa champions a holistic approach that boosts yields, protects the environment and connects smallholder farmers to thriving markets. If you’re excited by our work, eager to learn and full of ideas, we’d love you to get in touch.

If you are interested in this role and would like more information, or to apply, please visit the jobs page of our website for details. 

About the role:

A safe place to stay can be the first step. The right support to move forward is what turns it into lasting change.

Gray’s Inn Road is a 16-bed short-stay accommodation service supporting people with a recent history of rough sleeping to stabilise, rebuild confidence and move towards a home of their own. Working at the heart of Camden’s response to homelessness, the service aims to ensure that rough sleeping is rare, brief and non-recurrent, with most residents moving into suitable longer-term accommodation within three to six months.

As Resettlement Worker, you’ll take the lead on helping residents navigate that next step. You’ll build a clear picture of each person’s housing needs, strengths and aspirations, creating practical resettlement plans and identifying move-on options that are safe, realistic and sustainable. Working closely with Support Workers, you’ll help residents overcome barriers, prepare for independent living and feel confident about what comes next.

You’ll develop strong relationships with housing providers, landlords and partner agencies, opening up opportunities across social housing, supported housing and the private rented sector. You’ll bring persistence, creativity and a strong understanding of housing pathways to make sure people are not simply moved on, but supported into accommodation where they have the best possible chance of thriving.

At Single Homeless Project (SHP), we’re serious about investing in our people. You’ll have access to regular supervision, reflective practice and a wide range of learning and development opportunities to deepen your housing and support expertise, build new skills and shape the next step in your career. Whether you want to grow within resettlement, move into leadership or explore another area of our work, we’ll support you to keep learning and progressing.

About you:

• You understand housing and resettlement pathways and know how to find safe, affordable and sustainable move-on options, including within the private rented sector.
• You can build trust with people experiencing multiple disadvantage, recognising their strengths and motivating them to take meaningful steps towards independence.
• You’re confident completing thorough assessments and turning them into clear, achievable resettlement plans shaped around each person.
• You understand the practical side of sustaining a home, including housing management, benefits, budgeting, rent payments and tenancy responsibilities.
• You’re a determined and collaborative relationship-builder who can work effectively with landlords, housing providers, mental health services, substance use services and other partners to keep progress moving.

About us:

We’re London’s leading homelessness charity – and we get things done.

In a city where hundreds are forced into homelessness every day, our work has never been more needed or more challenging. And we’re not shying away. We’re rolling up our sleeves to make change and helping over 10,000 Londoners every year. We prevent homelessness, provide safe places to live and give people the opportunity to rebuild their lives and transform their futures. And we never give up. 

We’re here for Londoners wherever they are on their journey. We start with trust, building relationships that help people feel safe, supported, and ready to move forward. Every day, we put people first in everything we do, challenging injustice and barriers that keep people from the safety, stability and opportunity they deserve. We stand alongside people as they rebuild and shape a future that feels their own. 

Joining Single Homeless Project means joining a team that’s bold, compassionate and determined to do better for the people we support and for each other. You’ll work alongside colleagues with lived experience, in a space that’s trans-inclusive, disability-friendly, and actively striving to be anti-oppressive and equitable. 

We’re not perfect, but we’re real. We listen. We learn. And we push forward, together. Because this isn’t just a job. It’s a chance to lead with empathy, spark change, and help build a London where no one is left behind.

You'll be responsible for:

• Leading the people workstream for major bids, tenders and strategic growth projects.
• Designing workforce plans, operating models and mobilisation strategies for new contracts.
• Assessing organisational, workforce, TUPE and change implications of new opportunities.
• Driving contract mobilisation activity across recruitment, onboarding, learning and organisational readiness.
• Identifying future workforce risks and opportunities, ensuring long-term capability planning is built into decision making.
• Working with senior leaders to shape workforce strategies that balance service delivery, colleague experience and commercial objectives.

You'll thrive in this role if you bring:

• Significant experience in workforce planning, organisational design, transformation, change or programme delivery.
• A track record of leading complex projects with multiple stakeholders and competing priorities.
• Experience translating business or contractual requirements into practical workforce solutions.
• Strong commercial awareness and the ability to think strategically about future workforce needs.
• Excellent project management, influencing and stakeholder engagement skills.
• Knowledge of public sector contracts, mobilisation programmes, organisational design and ideally TUPE legislation.
