About the Organisation

Our client is a respected national charity dedicated to supporting people affected by a life-changing health condition. Through vital services, research, advocacy and fundraising, they help individuals and families rebuild their lives while driving positive change across communities throughout the UK.

This is an opportunity to join an ambitious organisation and lead a nationally significant fundraising portfolio that makes a genuine difference to people's lives.

Other roles you may have experience of could include: Head of Events Fundraising, Head of Community and Events Fundraising, Senior Fundraising Manager, Head of Public Fundraising, Mass Participation Manager, Challenge Events Manager, Supporter Engagement Manager, Regional Fundraising Manager, Fundraising Programme Manager, Individual Giving and Events Manager, Income Generation Manager or Fundraising Events Lead.

Please note this role is advertised by the recruitment agency acting for the client – Not For Profit People.

At Likewise, the core of what we do is build meaningful one-to-one relationships with people who are finding life difficult, and use those relationships to help people feel supported and make change.

We're recruiting up to three Hostels Mental Health Support Workers to join a brand new service, starting this autumn. In this role, you would be doing that work inside Camden's homelessness hostels, going in to work alongside residents and the staff teams who support them. You would be embedded in a set of hostels, aligned to a part of the borough, with a regular on-site presence and a caseload of up to 15 people.

The people you work with are adults experiencing homelessness with complex needs, whose mental health is often a practical barrier to moving on. Much of the work is about helping someone stabilise and build the confidence to take their next step.

Camden's Adult Pathway is made up of 16 hostels, supporting around 600 people experiencing homelessness with complex needs. Mental health need in those hostels has risen sharply, and hostel staff are holding far more of it than they are set up or supported to hold. This is a new service, funded by government for three years. The model is designed but not yet lived, and whoever joins will help shape how it actually works.

Likewise is a community-centred mental health and wellbeing charity based in Camden. We believe that people thrive when they have access to meaningful relationships, supportive communities and opportunities to contribute. We're also committed to building a different kind of organisation, one that values trust, learning, autonomy and shared responsibility.

You don't need a specific qualification to apply, and we welcome people from a range of backgrounds. But this is not an entry-level role: we need people with real support work experience behind them. We care more about how you are with people, how you think and how you work than about your CV on paper.

If that sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you.
