Thank you for your interest in Greater Manchester Mayor’s Charity. Greater Manchester Mayor’s Charity launched in April 2019 with one clear vision, that homelessness has no place here in Greater Manchester. As one of the founding funders of A Bed Every Night, we have been at the forefront of efforts to reduce rough sleeping in the city region. Since our launch, our grant making has evolved to complement this emergency response through two additional priority areas: Places and Spaces, and Targeted Prevention.
But as the challenges develop, so does our response. Our next step is to support organisations and initiatives working with communities – as well as individuals – to turbocharge progress towards a city-region where everyone has a safe, genuinely affordable place to call home and everyone can flourish and thrive.
In collaboration with the VCFSE sector of Greater Manchester, 10GM, the GMCA and NHS GM, Greater Manchester Mayor’s Charity are powering the Live Well Communities Fund and helping the partners to grow the success of the first year of this programme.

Spanning fundraising and engagement, this is an exciting opportunity at the heart of an innovative new stage for Greater Manchester Mayor’s Charity and the city region. If you are ready to take the next steps in your career, growing and developing in a fast-paced, high-profile charity and working alongside a small but committed team dedicated to addressing homelessness in Greater Manchester, then we look forward to receiving your application!

You will be comfortable working flexibly within a small team, as well as engaging and networking with people and organisations across the public, private and VCFSE sector. You will have excellent written and verbal communication skills and be committed to our vision: a Greater Manchester where everyone has a safe, secure and genuinely affordable place to call home, and is able to flourish and thrive in a strong, resilient community.

At North London Multi-Disciplinary Rough Sleeping Hub, you’ll play a key role in keeping the service safe, steady and well run overnight. You’ll be supporting people who have come directly off the streets and are navigating multiple disadvantage, helping to create an environment where they can rest, feel secure and continue moving forward.

You’ll use internal systems to log activity, report repairs or concerns and communicate clearly with the wider team so there’s continuity between day and night.
Some nights will be quiet and routine, others less predictable. You might be carrying out welfare checks, managing the building, responding to queries or supporting someone who needs reassurance. It’s a role that combines responsibility, independence and people-focused work, where your consistency and judgement help keep both clients and the service on track.

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.
