Do you thrive on initiative and balance kindness and understanding with strong organisational skills? Can you support 24 older women to move from temporary accomodation to their new homes?
The Sheppard Trust provides homes for older women in housing need, and we support them to live independently. We reduce loneliness and isolation by fostering a supportive community spirit.
We're planning to move to brand-new, purpose built accommodation near Hampton Court village in Surrey. Whilst we wait for the build to complete, 20 of our existing residents are temporarily housed in Mill Hill, with 4 housed in Greenford. Their new homes are expected to be ready in July 2026. The aim of this role is to support these residents before, during and after our move, as well as to plan, organise and deliver the logistics of the moves.

This role is based on 21 hours a week, with two visits per week to Mill Hill and occasional visits to Greenford and Hampton Court. The rest of the work could be carried out from home if desired. From July to September when the moves take place the workload will be higher and more on-site attendance may be necessary on move days.
The right appointment is important to us, so we're willing to discuss proposals for alternative working arrangements including adding additional responsibilities to create a full time role. There will be the opportunity to apply for permanent positions at the new site if wished.
You’ll bring:
- excellent people skills, and the ability to build trust with a wide range of people
- an understanding of the needs and concerns of older people and the desire to make a difference to their wellbeing
- the ability to work proactively and independently using your own initiative
- a strong commitment to safeguarding.
We can offer:
