Pembroke House
Pembroke House is a neighbourhood organisation. We are working towards a connected, just and thriving Walworth. We believe in the power of a neighbourhood to tackle our biggest social challenges.
We were founded in 1885, by students from Pembroke College, Cambridge, as one of the first settlement houses. Shocked by growing poverty and inequality, the pioneers of the settlement movement sought a new approach: taking up residence to live, work and solve problems alongside local communities. We continue to share a building with St Christopher’s church, which has its routes in the same student settlement.
For over 130 years, we’ve been working to bridge traditional divides and unite people – whatever their background or walk of life – in building a better Walworth.
Application Deadline: 9am Monday 6 July 2026 Please note we will be shortlisting and interviewing potential candidates throughout this period.
Shortlisting by Nina Feldman and Sally Carr: Week of 6 July
Interviews with Michal Beno and Tara Mack: Week of 13 July
You will be required to complete a short IT test if you are invited to an interview, and have an opportunity to meet some other members of the team.
Located in the heart of Walworth, we strive to empower communities and individuals to create a neighbourhood where everyone can flourish.
