About First Step Trust (FST)

FST was established in 1994 with the aim of providing access to work experience and salaried employment for people with severe and enduring mental health problems and other disadvantages. Over the years we have managed to adapt our service offer to meet the ongoing changes in funder requirements. We have achieved this by extending our offer to a wider group of long term unemployed people to include a range of practical work and office based work and good quality training courses.

Our approach is about giving workforce members the chance to overcome some of the difficulties facing them by getting them involved as colleagues. We provide ‘on the job’ training, advice and support to enable each person to improve their basic skills and knowledge of the various work undertaken. This will include supporting workforce members to gain recognised qualifications and access to work placements with our customers and other organisations.

In the run up to the pandemic we had 4 garages and Abbevilles. During the pandemic we lost 3 garages due to the loss of trade (Salford), the ending of a lease (Lambeth) and an agreed early termination of the lease in Bexley. We also lost funding for the Lambeth project March 2023 when our contract came to an end.

In addition to the pandemic, funders have increasingly been looking for projects that get people into work and then offer support to help them stay in employment. The Individual Placement and Support (IPS) is the preferred model for most funders.

Whilst IPS has it benefits it is not suitable for the group of people FST works with due to the levels of literacy / numeracy, low self-esteem, low self-confidence and other factors including low level or no formal marketable skills to offer employers. The majority of the FST workforce have been unemployed anywhere from 5 to 10 years or more; 44% have never worked. We also know that most find it difficult to engage with more traditional forms of learning e.g. college, when they first join us. Prior to joining FST 55% of workforce members had achieved Level 1/Foundation or below (41% have none).

In practice this means that IPS is not suitable for them as the type of work they are eligible for (shelf stacking, warehouse work etc.) does not pay enough to make the transition from welfare benefits viable. Furthermore there is a genuine concern about not being able to return to the same level of benefits if they are unable to stay in work.

The welfare benefit trap is well known and our response has been to focus on developing people’s marketable skills across a range of practical and office / finance work.

In practice it can take 2 to 3 years or more to help people overcome the issues they face in learning new skills and overcoming the psychosocial issues alongside the fear of losing welfare benefits. The results of this approach, however, are impressive with a core group of people moving (sustainably) on to salaried employment with FST or externally. 

In more recent years we have shifted our focus to developing new ways of learning and accreditation using technology including Virtual Reality (VR) QR codes and other assistive technologies (SMaRT Pathways).  These programmes are aimed at helping the FST workforce gain the skills they need to access well paid employment in sectors where there are severe skills shortages e.g. the automotive trades, construction and catering.

In addition to SMaRT Pathways there is FST’s SMaRT garage services. Our social enterprise based in Woolwich which provides MOT testing, vehicle repair and servicing to both private and commercial customers. It also provides learning opportunities and work placements for workforce complementing SMaRT Pathways training. The garage also offers opportunities to gain work skills in reception, customer service, parts ordering and other relative administration tasks.

FST’s main office, also based in Woolwich, offers work skill opportunities in finance, marketing, training and general administration in addition to delivering short course training programmes.

We also run 3 work projects in secure units in the North West offering work experience in catering, car valeting and delivering training courses.

About us

Crisis is the national charity for homeless people, working side by side with thousands of people each year as they find ways out of homelessness. We know that homelessness is not inevitable; we know that together we can end it. 

This year, we will begin our new ten-year strategy to end homelessness. Key to our mission is thinking differently and more ambitiously about how we engage with corporate partners and the commercial sector and how we can generate more support for our cause across England, Scotland, and Wales. 

Location:           Based in our London office (we are open to a range of flexible working options, in line with Crisis’ Hybrid-Working Policy) 

About the role 

As we embark on a new ten-year strategy, this is a unique opportunity to lead the development of a radical and ambitious approach to partnerships with businesses, building on the successful partnerships we have with Lloyds Banking Group, Specsavers, Taylor Wimpey, Berkeley Homes and many more. 

This pivotal role will lead the development of a corporate and commercial engagement strategy across Crisis, growing and deepening our portfolio of corporate partners, broadening their support for our organisation and our cause, and inspiring them to act within their businesses. The role also involves leading the continued development of our fundraising and partnerships outside of London, creating a national support network to end homelessness. 

While the role is directly responsible for strategic and corporate partnerships, the post holder will lead across the charity, ensuring a joined-up approach across retail, service delivery (including Crisis at Christmas), brand partnerships, venture philanthropy, investments, and innovation. 

The role also involves membership of the Brand, Marketing & Fundraising senior team and the organisation’s Senior Leadership Group, where it plays an important organisation-wide leadership role. Additional investment has recently been made in the team, and senior leadership and the Board have committed to supporting its success. 

About you 

We’re seeking someone with significant experience developing relationships with the corporate/commercial sector and a successful track record in organisations comparable in scale and complexity to Crisis. You will be ambitious, with a strong understanding of our challenges and how to make the most of opportunities to create new relationships with partners and think differently about what it means for a business to support a charity and social cause. 

We’re looking for someone who… 

• Has cross-organisational leadership skills and the ability to represent the organisation to the corporate/commercial sector externally. 

• Has secured and developed significant corporate partnerships. 

• Has developed and executed organisational income generation strategies, including supporting and influencing areas outside of direct line management responsibility. 

• Can think creatively about partnerships, leveraging the unique opportunities that Crisis has. 

• Can develop a national income and engagement strategy appropriate to our work in English regions, Scotland, and Wales. 

We believe diversity is a strength, and we aim to ensure that Crisis truly reflects the communities we serve. We are actively working towards our organisation being a place where everyone can thrive and make their best contribution to our mission of ending homelessness for good. We know that the more perspectives, voices, and experiences we can bring to this work, the better. We particularly welcome applications from people who have lived experience of homelessness, and people from all marginalised groups, communities, and backgrounds. 

Working at Crisis 

As a member of the team, you will have access to a wide range of employee benefits including: 

• Interest free loans for travel season ticket, cycle to work, and deposit to secure a tenancy. 

• Pension scheme with an employer contribution of 8.5% 

• 28 days’ annual leave

• Enhanced maternity, paternity, shared parental, and adoption pay. 

• Flexible working around the core hours 10am-4pm 

• And more! (Full list of benefits available on website) 
   

Alongside our excellent staff benefits, we will support your ongoing development to build your skills, experience, and career. 

When you join us, you will have the opportunity to join our staff diversity networks, which aim to champion issues across the organisation, enable staff to be their authentic and best selves and contribute to making Crisis a truly diverse organisation.
