Safer Recruitment

Depaul UK is committed to fair and inclusive recruitment, and we welcome applications from people of all backgrounds. If a role requires it under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975, we will carry out the appropriate Disclosure & Barring Service (DBS) check. We only look at information that is relevant to the role, and a criminal record will never be treated as an automatic barrier to employment. All DBS information is handled sensitively, confidentially and in line with the DBS Code of Practice, and we encourage applicants to discuss any concerns with us openly.

About Depaul UK

In the 1980s, high unemployment and steep inflation was contributing to a shocking rise in youth homelessness across London. Thousands of young people were sleeping rough every night, with many areas notoriously dubbed “cardboard cities” due to the visible rise in street homelessness. Appalled by the scenes playing out across the capital, a group of people came together to tackle the challenge head on. Led by Cardinal Basil Hume and Mark McGreevy OBE, in 1989 Depaul UK was born.

What began as a single housing project in North London soon expanded across London, Greater Manchester and the North East of England. Today, Depaul UK provides accommodation, prevention and support services to thousands of marginalised young people across the UK each year.

As our name suggests, the work of Depaul UK has been inspired by St. Vincent de Paul – a man who devoted his life to helping vast numbers of people throughout the 17th century. St. Vincent de Paul’s belief in the intrinsic worth of all people and his commitment to taking bold action remain central to our values today. Depaul UK now forms part of a family of Depaul charities around the world. We each focus on the specific challenges in our own countries, but we’re united by our shared values and mission to end homelessness.

The role also demands confident leadership, strong performance management, and a commitment to continuous improvement. You will mentor and develop your teams, support cultural transformation, and ensure services are delivered in line with Hackney’s values of inclusion, accountability, and openness. You will be a key voice in resident engagement, representing the service at internal and external forums, contributing to locality planning, and ensuring residents are well-informed and supported throughout the repairs and disrepair process.

We are seeking:
• Senior leadership experience in surveying, legal disrepair or complex housing repairs services
• Strong technical surveying expertise with advanced defect diagnosis skills
• In-depth knowledge of disrepair legislation and risk mitigation
• Experience managing damp and mould cases and delivering compliance with legal frameworks
• Proven ability to lead and develop multidisciplinary teams
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills, including experience working with legal professionals
• Financial awareness and experience managing budgets and contractor performance
• Commitment to delivering equitable, resident-focused services

This is a rare opportunity to lead a high-profile service area with real impact on residents’ safety, wellbeing, and housing quality across Hackney.
