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.

Contract: Full-time, permanent

Shape the future of one of the world's most influential human rights movements.
At a time when human rights are increasingly contested, Amnesty International UK has a clear ambition: to build public support for human rights, strengthen people-powered movements and create lasting change.
To achieve that ambition, the organisation is seeking an outstanding leader to join its Senior Leadership Team as Director of Campaigns and Communications.
One of the most significant leadership opportunities in the sector today, the postholder will report directly to the Chief Executive and will lead a large directorate spanning campaigns, communications, public engagement, media, policy, research and political relations, helping to shape how one of the world's most recognised movements engages the public, mobilises supporters, influences decision makers and drives social change.

The Opportunity
Human rights organisations face a fundamental challenge.
Facts alone are not enough.
In an increasingly complex and polarised world, organisations must connect evidence with emotion, inspire people to act, build movements and create the public mandate required for lasting political and social change.
As Director of Campaigns and Communications, you will help define how Amnesty International UK meets that challenge. You will shape the organisation's public voice, influence its strategic direction and lead work that reaches millions of people across the UK.

You will join at a pivotal moment as AIUK seeks to:

• Build broader public support for human rights
• Grow and diversify its movement
• Reach and engage new generations of supporters
• Increase its influence in public and political debate
• Strengthen the integration between campaigning, communications, activism and movement building
• Create bold, creative and audience-focused approaches to change

About the Role
As a member of the SLT, you will contribute to the overall leadership of AIUK and play a central role in shaping organisational strategy and culture.
You will lead a substantial and highly talented directorate, bringing together expertise across:

• Campaigns and political relations
• Communications and public engagement
• Media, PR and artist relations
• Policy and research
• Nations and regions

You will create greater alignment across these functions, ensuring they operate as a coherent whole in pursuit of AIUK's strategic priorities.
You will also represent AIUK externally, building relationships across the Amnesty movement, civil society, media, politics and public life, and helping to position AIUK as a leading voice in shaping the future of human rights in the UK.

Who We Are Looking For
We are seeking an experienced and values-driven leader with the credibility, judgement and vision to operate at executive level.
You may currently be:

• A Director of Campaigns, Communications, Public Engagement or Advocacy.
• An Executive Director leading large-scale influencing or movement building functions.
• A senior sector leader with responsibility for public mobilisation, communications, campaigning or political influence.

You will be adept at operating strategically, leading through complexity and building alignment across diverse stakeholders.
You will bring:

• Significant leadership experience within a complex organisation
• A track record of delivering ambitious campaigns, communications or public engagement strategies at scale
• Experience leading large multidisciplinary teams
• The ability to build organisational alignment around a clear strategic vision
• Strong political and external awareness
• A sophisticated understanding of how public narratives shape social and political change
• An inclusive and collaborative leadership style
• A commitment to anti-racist practice, equity and human rights

Leadership at AIUK
This role requires both conviction and humility.
You will bring fresh thinking, challenge established assumptions and help AIUK adapt to a changing environment. At the same time, you will understand how to build trust, bring people with you and create conditions for others to succeed.
We are looking for a leader who can combine strategic clarity with empathy, collaboration and courage.
Someone who is comfortable making difficult decisions, navigating ambiguity and leading through influence rather than hierarchy.

Why Join AIUK?
Few leadership roles offer this combination of influence, visibility and purpose.
You will have the opportunity to:

• Shape the future direction of one of the world's most recognised human rights organisations
• Influence public and political debate on some of the defining issues of our time
• Lead work that strengthens democratic participation and social justice
• Help build a broader, more diverse and more powerful movement for human rights
• Work alongside exceptional colleagues across the UK and the global Amnesty movement
• Leave a lasting legacy on the future of human rights advocacy in the UK

This is a rare opportunity to lead at scale, shape public narratives and help define the next chapter of Amnesty International UK.
If you believe in the power of people to create change, and have the leadership experience to help make that change happen, we would welcome a conversation.
