Quality and practice development lead jobs
About the role:
This is not a role where you sit on the sidelines. This is a role where you show up, stand alongside women, and help create the kind of safety and belief that many have never experienced before.
In our Women’s Respite Service in Camden, you’ll be working with women who have faced abuse, exploitation and homelessness, often after systems have let them down. You’ll be part of a space that feels different. A space where women are listened to, where their experiences are understood, and where they can begin to rebuild a sense of control over their lives.
No two days will look the same. One moment you might be de-escalating a sensitive situation, the next you’re advocating with services, or sitting alongside someone as they begin to make sense of what they’ve been through. You’ll use your understanding of trauma, gender informed practice and the realities of violence against women and girls to shape how support is delivered, making sure every interaction is grounded in safety, dignity and respect.
You’ll hold a small but complex caseload, working intensively with women to build trust, navigate risk and move towards stability and independence. You won’t give up easily. You’ll stay curious, creative and persistent, even when progress feels slow or uncertain.
As a senior in the team, your impact goes further. You’ll lead by example, guiding colleagues through complex situations and helping to embed a way of working that truly recognises what women have experienced and what they need to move forward. You’ll help shape a service that doesn’t just respond to crisis, but creates real, lasting change.
For roles in our women's services we ask for applications from Women only. For occupational requirement reasons (exemption under the Equality Act 2010; Schedule 9 Part 1).
About you:
- You have experience supporting women who have faced abuse, exploitation and multiple disadvantage, and you understand how this shapes trust, behaviour and recovery
- You build relationships that feel safe, consistent and real, even when someone has every reason not to trust
- You stay grounded in challenging moments, able to respond calmly, think clearly and make sound decisions when risk is high
- You bring strong judgement and confidence in complex casework, and you’re comfortable guiding others to deliver high quality, consistent support
- You’re persistent, resourceful and proactive, able to advocate, challenge systems and keep moving things forward for the women you support
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.

Release is seeking to appoint a Supervising Solicitor for Community Care— with genuine flexibility for part‑time or full‑time working — to help shape and expand our legal services at the intersection of social justice and community care law.
This role is particularly well‑suited to candidates seeking reduced hours, portfolio careers, or a position that allows for balance alongside caring responsibilities, or other commitments. The successful candidate will join a values‑driven organisation delivering high‑quality casework, innovative community‑based legal services, and strategic litigation aimed at systemic change.
Person Specification
Essential
- Minimum 4 years + post qualified solicitor with a current practising certificate, and
- Minimum 3 years + substantial experience in legal aid casework, supervision and/or compliance, and
- Minimum 1 year + experience of supervising others, and
- Experience in public law, housing law, and/or community care law within legal aid practice, and
- Strong commitment to social justice, harm reduction, and trauma-informed practice.
- Approved legal aid supervisor with the Legal Aid Agency.
Desirable
- Experience working in a charity or non-profit organisation.
- Experience supporting or contributing to strategic litigation or test case work.
- Understanding of the impact of drug policy and criminalisation on marginalised communities.
- Experience in developing new services, partnerships, or funding-linked delivery models.
Important notice: For this job, Release will only consider applications from those who already have the right to live and work in the UK. See the Home Office Immigration & Nationality Directorate for information on the UK Government's immigration policy.
About the Role
The Supervising Solicitor for Community Care – Legal Aid is a key role in shaping and strengthening Release’s legal services. Working closely with the Joint Head of Legal Services and Executive Director, and in collaboration with other colleagues, you will supervise the delivery of high-quality legal advice and representation, supporting the growth of legal aid practice whilst ensuring Release continues to train and develop social justice lawyers for the future.

The role will combine hands-on practice, leadership, supervision and compliance responsibilities.
Please note: We do not expect the postholder to generate legal aid income at a multiple of their salary. While we do aim to grow legal aid income across the team to an initial target of £15,000–£25,000 per annum, the focus of this role is on developing high‑quality legal aid practice and building sustainable income collectively, as part of a mixed‑income organisational model.
As Supervising Solicitor for Community Care – Legal Aid, you will:
• Support Strategic Development: Contribute to developing the direction and priorities of Release’s legal services, including expanding legal aid work and strengthening access to justice.
• Provide Practice Supervision: Support a multidisciplinary team of solicitors, legal advisers and volunteers to deliver excellent, trauma-informed legal support. Support and mentor team members on how to adhere to legal aid file compliance, time recording and CCMS applications.
• Ensure Quality and Compliance: Help ensure consistent regulatory compliance and quality assurance across legal casework, including legal aid requirements.
• Strengthen and Grow Services: Help develop and improve legal service delivery models, including responding to emerging needs and client priorities.
• Contribute to Systemic Change: Support Release’s wider mission by helping connect legal services with policy, research, and advocacy work.
This role is ideal for someone with legal aid expertise and management potential, who wants to take a meaningful step into leadership whilst continuing to centre client care, justice and harm reduction.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.

Yorkshire Dales Millennium Trust (YDMT) is seeking a driven and entrepreneurial professional to lead and grow our charity’s trading arm, YDMTCL. This is a newly created and exciting opportunity for someone with strong business development and leadership skills to build on the success of our Landscape Design team, while also originating and leading your own projects to strengthen commercial performance and impact.
About the role
YDMTCL currently delivers landscape design services through a team of two Landscape Architects, working across urban, rural and community regeneration projects. The team combines strong technical expertise with creative design skills to deliver high quality green infrastructure and green space solutions.
The company currently has an annual turnover of under £100,000 and a clear ambition to double this over the next two to three years. The postholder will play a key role in driving this growth and will be expected to make significant progress towards this target during the 18 month contract period. All profits generated by YDMTCL are gifted back to the charity, directly supporting its charitable objectives.
This role will be primarily focused on the trading company, with approximately 90% of time dedicated to YDMTCL and up to 10% supporting the wider charity. You will originate and lead your own projects, creating vital new income streams for the organisation. Your work will focus on integrating ecology and landscape design to deliver innovative, high quality projects that contribute meaningfully to nature recovery.
We believe the role will be a highly rewarding one, and a real opportunity for someone to shape, lead and take ownership of YDMTCL, while working for a fantastic organisation and benefiting this wonderful area and its communities.
About you
We are seeking an experienced professional with a strong track record of working in multidisciplinary environments to lead and grow YDMTCL. You will bring proven business development and leadership skills to support and expand our Landscape Design team, building on its existing success and increasing commercial performance.
Commercially astute, you will demonstrate a strong history of income generation and business growth, ideally within conservation, land management, landscape design and/or ecology. You will lead the development of vital new income streams, building and delivering an active pipeline of revenue generating projects aligned with the charity’s aims.

About the Role
Norwood is investing in the future of Positive Behaviour Support across both our adult and Children & Family Services.
This is a strategic role with the mandate to shape, strengthen and modernise PBS practice across Ravenswood and our North West London services. You will define what high-quality, evidence-based and person-centred PBS looks like at Norwood and ensure it is delivered consistently.
The majority of the role will focus on adult services, with an important proportion supporting our Children & Family Services offer for children and young people aged 5 to 18. This includes working with neurodivergent children, often with complex and co-occurring needs. In the medium term, the role will also contribute to thinking around how PBS principles can support neurodivergent children in more mainstream settings.
This role moves beyond behaviour management. It is about enabling children, young people and adults to live fuller, safer and more independent lives through proactive, strengths-based and positive risk approaches.
You will:
- Receive regular clinical supervision to ensure strong case management, reflective practice and ongoing professional support.

We invest in your growth, care about your wellbeing, and give you the pride of knowing your work changes lives.
Your Day to Day
You will:
- Lead, coach and develop a team of PBS Practitioners and specialist colleagues
- Work in partnership with operational managers and multidisciplinary professionals to ensure holistic, joined-up support
- Design and embed consistent PBS frameworks and documentation standards across services
- Analyse data and trends to inform proactive, preventative strategies
- Oversee the coordination of behaviour support approaches and associated training
- Support teams to develop person-centred plans rooted in functional assessment and positive risk
- Review incidents and identify themes, presenting improvement recommendations to senior leaders
- Contribute to regulatory readiness and quality improvement planning across both children’s and adult services
Your impact will be demonstrated through:
- Greater independence and participation for the people we support
- Reduced reliance on restrictive approaches
- Improved staff confidence and consistency
- Clear, evidence-based PBS practice across locations
- Positive regulatory feedback and strengthened quality standards
