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.

Job description
Support people. Strengthen communities. Help prevent suicide.
Every week, someone reaches out to Hector's House because they are experiencing emotional distress, worried about someone they love, or trying to make sense of a suicide loss.
The response they receive can make all the difference.
We are looking for a compassionate, organised and proactive Support Coordinator to join our small but ambitious team and help us reach more people across Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire.
This is a role where your work will have a direct and visible impact. You might be supporting someone experiencing emotional distress, helping coordinate a support group, assisting people to access the right help, or contributing to community activities that increase awareness and understanding of suicide prevention.
About Hector's House
Hector's House was founded in 2016 by the family and friends of Hector Stringer, who died by suicide aged 18.
Today, we are a trusted local charity dedicated to preventing suicide and supporting people affected by suicide across Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire
Everything we do is rooted in our local communities. We are supported by local people, businesses, schools, community groups and volunteers who share our belief that suicide is preventable and that nobody should face difficult times alone.
Last year we reached more than 2,500 people through our awareness, education and support services.
At the heart of everything we do is a simple message: there is hope.
The Role
Working closely with our Support Lead, you will play a central role in delivering support to people experiencing emotional distress, those at risk of suicide, and people affected by suicide.
You will help coordinate and deliver one-to-one and group support, respond to enquiries, maintain accurate records, liaise with partner organisations, and contribute to the continued development of our services.
As a new role within the charity, this is an opportunity to help shape how support is delivered in the future.
About Working Here
We're a small team by design, which means everyone has a voice and everyone contributes. We work collaboratively, support one another and share a commitment to making the greatest possible difference for the people and communities we serve.
You'll have the opportunity to take ownership, contribute ideas, develop new approaches and help shape the future of our services.
Who We're Looking For
We're looking for someone who:
- Has experience supporting people who may be distressed, vulnerable or facing difficult circumstances.
- Communicates with warmth, empathy and professionalism.
- Can remain calm when situations are challenging.
- Understands the importance of safeguarding, confidentiality and professional boundaries.
- Is organised and able to manage multiple priorities.
- Can work independently while also being part of a close-knit team.
- Shares our values and commitment to supporting local communities.
Experience in suicide prevention, crisis support or the voluntary sector would be welcomed, but is not essential.
This is a hybrid role, by which we mean that whilst you will be home-based, we meet regularly as a team face to face in and around the Tring area, and our education and support work is often face to face in the same area, and several times in a week.
Why Join Us?
This is an opportunity to:
- Make a genuine difference to people's lives every day.
- Join a respected and growing local charity.
- Work in a supportive, passionate and ambitious team.
- Help shape and develop a growing service.
- Build strong relationships across local communities.
- Develop your skills and experience in suicide prevention and mental health support.
If you're looking for a role where you can make a meaningful difference in your local communities, work alongside passionate colleagues and help shape the future of an ambitious organisation, we'd love to hear from you.
Apply with a full CV and a covering letter of no more than 2 sides, which outlines your motivation for applying and how your experience and skills fit with the details laid out in the attached role profile and person specification.
For an informal discussion about the role, please get in touch with us via the details in the attached job description and person specification.
Appointment will be subject to satisfactory references and an enhanced DBS check.

Job description
Do you share our belief in the importance of small charities and the power of skilled volunteers to drive meaningful, lasting change?
At Cranfield Trust, our mission is to bring together skilled volunteers and small charities to strengthen organisations, develop leaders and deliver impact that lasts.
Small charities play a vital role in communities, often at the frontline of complex and urgent challenges. But the environment that small charities have to operate in is becoming more demanding, with uncertain funding, rising demand, stretched leadership capacity, and a range of other issues that are currently impacting the sector.
We deliver free, capacity-building services and support for small charities, utilising proven approaches that address organisational challenges and leadership development. We are at an important point in our development, with a new CEO and a new strategy. Demand for our support is high and growing rapidly, and how we respond will shape our future impact.
We are looking for an experienced fundraising and relationship manager, who is motivated by the difference our work makes for small charities throughout the UK.
About this role
As Philanthropy and Partnerships Manager, you will play a central role in developing and managing Cranfield Trust's high-value relationships with funders, donors and partners. This includes identifying new funding and partnership opportunities, shaping compelling proposals, and building and stewarding trusted relationships that lead to long-term support.
You would be joining us at an important point in our development, with a new CEO, and a new strategy being introduced later this year. Demand for our support is high and growing rapidly, and how we respond will shape our future impact.
This is a remote working role, open to candidates based anywhere in the United Kingdom, but occasional attendance at face-to-face meetings, events and in-house training/development is a core requirement of the role. In this role, you will work closely with our Wales and Scotland Managers and we are keen to hear from interested candidates in Scotland or Wales.
You do not need to meet every role requirement to apply. But you should be ready to build an understanding of our work and share our passion for the difference it makes. Whether your experience fully matches the role description, or you bring relevant skills and a strong motivation to learn, we encourage you to apply.
In return, we can offer a flexible, purposeful role in a team that is highly committed, clear on priorities and motivated by our mission. Our staff survey reflects this, with 100% of colleagues feeling committed to delivering high-quality work.
We want to hear from a diverse range of applicants. We are committed to equity, diversity and inclusion and we want this to be reflected in the diversity and geographical spread of our team. If you have access needs or require reasonable adjustments as part of the recruitment process, please let us know.
Please read more information about the role and how to apply in our Recruitment Pack on our website.
