Delivery volunteer jobs

Justlife’s Vision

Making people's experience of temporary accommodation be short, safe and healthy.

About the job

The role of Families Project Worker involves supporting a caseload of families living in temporary accommodation. The role requires a combination of specialist knowledge and excellent relationship building skills to support residents with varying degrees of mental health and trauma related issues to engage with appropriate support, improve their experience of temporary accommodation and to access suitable housing solutions.

The role is dependent on excellent communication and joint working with colleagues and a variety of partners and professionals; including the NHS, Probation Service, local council services and other third sector organisations.

The role requires a high degree of motivation to support complex and vulnerable people, often in a lone-working situation. With a passion to work collaboratively with others for the good of our service users, and with some experience of working in a related field in a voluntary or paid capacity.

A high degree of emotional intelligence is required to support service users, many of whom have complex emotional needs, with backgrounds of trauma, neglect, abuse, crime and low self-worth. A role of this nature will experience a range of emotions from joy to grief and as such requires a high degree of resilience to cope with the emotional demands of the role.

Making decisions, “in the moment” to do the right thing to mitigate risk with service users can place high emotional demands on the job holder. The role is highly reactive, unpredictable and at times, chaotic. The role therefore requires a high degree of self-awareness to one’s own resilience levels and exercising appropriate levels of self-care.

Why do we exist?

Justlife is in existence because we know thousands of people struggle to manage in poor and unsuitable temporary accommodation. Their stay isn’t temporary, they are likely to be suffering with deteriorating mental and physical health, becoming victims of crime, losing control of their life and even dying prematurely. We are working towards making their stays as short, safe and healthy as possible.

How do we operate?

Our values guide our work and are very important to us:

• Collaboration before competition
• People before programmes
• Innovation before Institutions

What do we do?

Justlife delivers impactful services in Greater Manchester and Brighton & Hove, supporting and empowering people experiencing homelessness in temporary accommodation. We also drive positive system change across the national temporary accommodation sector, convening those with a common interest; people with lived experience, landlords, charities, local and national government, and carrying out research and gathering insights.

We aim to grow our impact and reach, supporting more people in temporary accommodation and to build a movement that brings about lasting positive change.

Why work for us?

Here at Justlife, we're committed to equality, diversity and inclusion. We want to be an organisation that's representative of the communities we serve, which is why we strive for diversity of age, gender identity, sexual orientation, physical or mental ability, ethnicity and perspective.

Perks of working at Justlife

You will work closely with the Director and the Senior Managers, contributing to the quality and smooth running of projects across a diverse client portfolio. You will also play a key role in strengthening Bean’s internal capability, supporting the team in helping to grow our offer, particularly in supporting charities and funders to evaluate, learn and communicate their impact more effectively.

Every role at Bean Research fuels our mission to be the trusted learning and evaluation partner of choice, helping organisations frame, evaluate and amplify social value with confidence and clarity. Everyone plays a part in delivering work that is rigorous, reflective and genuinely useful while sustaining Bean as a high-quality, values-led organisation.

About Bean Research
Bean Research is an independent research, evaluation and learning consultancy. We help charities, foundations, funders and corporates understand and strengthen their social impact, working across sport for development, criminal justice, employability, and arts and heritage.

We are a social enterprise, a Living Wage Employer and a certified B Corp.

Why This Role, Why Now
Bean has grown, then deliberately paused to build stronger systems and foundations. We are now ready to grow again. This is a pivotal delivery role at the heart of our evaluation work: you will manage and deliver a varied portfolio of evaluation and learning projects, work closely with the Director and Senior Managers, and be the dependable, day-to-day partner our clients trust. It will suit someone who takes pride in accurate, high-quality work and wants to develop within a supportive, values-led team.

Crisis is the national charity for people experiencing homelessness. We have embarked on our 10-year strategy for ending homelessness. We know it is not inevitable. We know together we can end it.

Location: Based in London office with homeworking is considered in line with Crisis’ Hybrid Working Policy

About the role

Crisis has laid out a vision, that by 2035 we will see all forms of homelessness in decline. We will bring about this impact through our three organisational aims, by:

• Securing the policies that solve homelessness
• Delivering services that end homelessness for people and places
• Building a community of people across Britain that are helping to end homelessness

To manage this bold ambition, we are planning in three-year cycles. Our current 2025-28 strategic plan outlines our key priorities – alongside national influencing, place-based system change, direct service delivery and greater audience engagement, we will also become a landlord for the first time in our 60-year history.

Sitting behind all of this is our strategic objective to achieve a sustainable operating model that ensures the health of the organisation and delivers our strategy. To do this we need to grow our income, diversify our income risk profile, and optimise our income generating operations.

A brand, marketing and fundraising strategy has been developed to implement these required changes. The Transformation Manager will be instrumental in translating that strategic intent into delivery, by designing and initiating an implementation programme that will help us transition to a more predictable, sustainable income model, grow our contactable database of supporters, improve supporter experience - particularly through focus on our supporter journeys, content plan and contact plans, and deliver £30m for 100 houses as part of our housing capital appeal.

Through direct programme management and embedding a new approach to delivery, this role will support Crisis to transition to new operational models and ways of working, delivering the shifts we need to achieve our long-term income goals.

About you

You’re proactive and collaborative, skilled at designing and initiating ways of working that motivate colleagues to galvanise around programme goals.

A proven programme manager, you know when a programme is on track, how to effectively manage risk, and unlock successful delivery.

Plus, you’re a forward thinker, recognising how an organisation needs to shift to deliver desired impact, with the practical ability to deploy sustainable solutions to that end.

Please see the full Job Pack linked below, for a full list of requirements for this role. We realise that long lists of criteria can be daunting, and you may not want to apply for a role unless you feel 100% qualified. However, if you feel you have relevant examples to answer the screening questions, we encourage you to apply.

We believe diversity is a strength, and our aim is to make sure that Crisis truly reflects the communities we serve. We are actively working towards our organisation being a place where everyone can thrive and make their best contribution to our mission of ending homelessness for good. We know that the more perspectives, voices, and experiences we can bring to this work, the better. We particularly welcome applications from people who have lived experience of homelessness, and people from all marginalised groups, communities, and backgrounds.

Working at Crisis

Our values, Bold, Impactful, Collaborative and Equitable, are at the heart of everything we do as we continue in our mission to end homelessness.

Our staff, members and volunteers are vital to getting the right government policies in place, providing breakthrough services, and building a supportive community. We’ll lead by example to nurture a positive and ambitious workplace guided by ending homelessness.

As a member of the team, you will have access to a wide range of employee benefits including:

• A competitive salary. Please note our salaries are fixed to counter inequity and we do not negotiate at offer stage.
• Interest free loans for travel season ticket, cycle to work, and deposit to secure a tenancy.
• Pension scheme with an employer contribution of 8.5%
• 28 days’ annual leave (pro rata) which increases with service to 31 days and the option to purchase up to 10 additional days leave.
• Enhanced maternity, paternity, shared parental, and adoption pay.
• Flexible working around the core hours 10am-4pm
• Wellbeing Leave to be used flexibly
• And more! (Full list of benefits available on website)

Alongside our excellent staff benefits, we will support your ongoing development to build your skills, experience, and career.

When you join us, you will have the opportunity to join our staff diversity networks, which aim to champion issues across the organisation, enable staff to be their authentic and best selves and contribute to making Crisis a truly diverse organisation.
