Ready to lead services that help people truly move forward — not just move on?

As Service Manager for our Lambeth PRS and Refugee Resettlement services (maternity cover), you’ll step into a visible, high-impact leadership role overseeing two established teams supporting families resettled in Lambeth through government refugee schemes and people transitioning from rough sleeping into private rented or social housing.

Day to day, you’ll be leading and developing a team of eight Support Workers, setting the standard for high-quality, trauma-informed and strengths-based support. You’ll hold oversight of complex casework, safeguarding and risk, maintain strong relationships with Lambeth commissioners and pathway partners, and ensure performance and reporting are on track.

You’ll balance operational grip with strategic oversight — using data to spot trends, driving continuous improvement, and ensuring clients are not only sustaining their tenancies but building confidence, connection and independence in their communities.

This is a fast-paced, partnership-rich role where your leadership will directly shape outcomes for families navigating life in a new country and individuals rebuilding after homelessness. If you’re someone who thrives on responsibility, backs your team to deliver their best work and keeps people’s aspirations at the centre of everything, this is your opportunity to step in and make a lasting difference.

About you:

• You’re a confident and compassionate leader who knows that strong management creates the conditions for change.
• Has experience leading frontline teams and knows how to motivate, challenge and develop others to deliver high standards
• Understands rough sleeping and the realities facing refugees and asylum seekers rebuilding their lives in the UK
• Is confident managing risk and safeguarding, and can support staff to work calmly and proportionately in complex situations
• Can build trusted relationships with local authorities and partners while holding performance and accountability
• Is motivated by helping people sustain their homes and build independent, connected lives — not just meet targets

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.

* Work alongside the Service Manager to ensure appropriate recording, learning, and reflective review of incidents, near-misses, and complexities.
* Contribute to a learning culture where mistakes, uncertainty, and anxiety can be thought about.

People management & staff development
* Provide direct line management, supervision, reflective space for Support Workers, Specialist Support Workers and Waking Night Support Workers.
* Deliver high-quality supervision that integrates performance, wellbeing, emotional impact, and practice reflection.
* Support staff to develop confidence in working relationally and tolerating uncertainty.

We are a close-knit team who support one another and are passionate about our mission. We look forward to welcoming new team members.

Outline of Role
As RCF enters this exciting stage, there is huge demand for our support in a wide range of global contexts, and our key challenge is to ensure we have robust institutional capacity - systems and procedures - to attract and effectively administer growing levels of investment.

As RCF attracts multi-year funding from a wider range of partners – including large grant providers and high-net-worth individuals - we need greater financial management capacity to ensure we are managing our resources responsibly and effectively. There will therefore be a strong focus on managing RCF’s finances – and strong experience in this area will be essential. There is also a focus on wider aspects of our operations and human resourcing.

The jobholder will work closely with the Co-Director (Strategy and Organisational Development) receiving support and encouragement where required. There will always be a strong focus on personal growth and for the right candidate there is scope to quickly grow into leading the finance and operations functions, reporting directly to Trustees and senior strategic partners and becoming a key strategic voice in the organisation.
