About Alzheimer’s Research UK: Alzheimer's Research UK is the UK's leading dementia research charity. Our mission is to accelerate progress towards a cure.  Today 1 in 2 people will be impacted by dementia, either through caring for a loved one, developing it themselves or tragically both. But there is hope. 

About the role:

For young people who have experienced care, homelessness, trauma or instability, the quality of the adults and services around them can shape what happens next. As a Team Manager in our Young People’s Services, you’ll help create the consistency, safety and skilled support young people need to build confidence, develop independence and move towards adulthood with greater choice over their future.

We have two Team Manager opportunities available: one at Cecil House in Camden and one at North Birbeck in Waltham Forest. Working closely with the Service(s), and Regional Services Manager, you’ll provide day-to-day management and practice leadership across the service, supporting and developing frontline staff while maintaining strong oversight of safeguarding, risk, support planning and the quality of practice. You’ll deputise for the Services Manager when required and help make sure young people receive support that is purposeful, individual and rooted in trauma-informed and psychologically informed approaches.

Reflective practice will be an important part of how you lead. You’ll create space for staff to think critically about their work, understand the impact of trauma and relationships, learn from challenging situations and strengthen their professional judgement. Alongside this, you’ll help maintain high standards across the service, supporting Ofsted readiness, quality assurance and continuous improvement, and working closely with Children’s Services, Leaving Care teams and other partners to achieve the best possible outcomes for young people.

This is an opportunity to take on a significant management role within our Young People’s Services, develop your leadership and regulatory experience and help shape consistently strong practice across the team. You’ll be supported by experienced managers and have access to ongoing learning, development and reflective practice to continue growing as a leader.

About you:

• You know how to lead from alongside a team — giving people clarity, confidence and challenge while creating the kind of environment where strong practice can actually grow.
• You’re confident in complex situations and don’t lose sight of the young person behind the risk, behaviour or incident. You can help staff stay curious, think clearly and make proportionate safeguarding decisions.
• You understand trauma-informed and psychologically informed practice, and you can use supervision and reflective practice as real tools for better decision-making, not just as processes to complete.
• You notice when something in a service is drifting, inconsistent or not good enough, and you’re comfortable asking why, tightening practice and turning feedback, audits and learning into meaningful improvement.
• You build strong relationships with Children’s Services, Leaving Care teams and other partners, can challenge constructively when needed, and keep young people’s voices, rights and ambitions at the centre of the work.

About SHP:

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.
