About the Role
Rough sleeping pathways only work when the system around people moves with urgency, consistency and accountability. This role is about making sure people sleeping rough, or at risk of returning to the streets, are not left waiting, drifting between services, or losing accommodation because barriers have not been gripped quickly enough.
As Outreach Housing Pathway Coordinator, you will work within Camden’s integrated Rough Sleeping and Outreach Hub to help people access and sustain appropriate accommodation. You will hold oversight of where people are in their housing journey, identify what is blocking progress, and work with outreach teams, Navigators, hostels, pathway providers, community safety partners and statutory services to keep plans moving.
You will focus on the points where pathways can break down: delays, exclusions, unsuitable offers, unresolved risks, street activity linked to accommodation, or support needs that have not yet been fully understood or responded to. Through assertive engagement, practical case coordination and strong partnership working, you will help people stabilise their accommodation and reduce the risk of returning to rough sleeping.
Working within Camden’s No Wrong Door model, you will bring grip, judgement and persistence to complex situations, ensuring people experiencing multiple disadvantage receive a response that is joined-up, trauma-informed and focused on lasting routes away from the street. SHP will support you with the training, reflective practice and development opportunities needed to continue building your expertise in this work.
About you:
- You understand that people experiencing rough sleeping are often navigating trauma, exclusion, unmet needs and systems that have not worked for them. You bring patience, persistence and a clear belief that people should not be written off when engagement is difficult.
- You know how homelessness pathways, outreach services and supported accommodation can work together, and you can spot where delays, exclusions or gaps in communication are putting someone’s route away from the street at risk.
- You are confident working with complexity. You can hold risk, need and accountability together, making balanced decisions while keeping people’s safety, dignity and long-term accommodation sustainment at the centre.
- You build relationships that help things move. Whether you are speaking with someone on the street, a hostel, a Navigator, a statutory service or a community safety partner, you communicate clearly, follow through on actions and keep people focused on solutions.
- You bring practical judgement, emotional resilience and a trauma-informed approach to your work, with the ability to stay calm and purposeful when situations are challenging, stuck or urgent.

Head of Fundraising
Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital Charity
£55,000-£60,000 | Full-time, hybrid | Stanmore & Central London
Every day at RNOH, lives get rebuilt; staff at the hospital treat spinal cord injuries, bone cancer, and carry out complex joint reconstruction. We are the UK's leading specialist orthopaedic hospital, and our charity exists to fund the equipment, research, and rehabilitation that push patient care beyond what the NHS alone can offer.
Now we're looking for a Head of Fundraising who wants to build something, not just manage it.
Why now
Having recently completed a full fundraising review, the groundwork is now laid for future income growth. We have mapped donor journeys and embedded KPI and ROI reporting embedded across the team. What's missing is someone to take the baton and run.
You'll join as a major campaign is moving toward launch, backed by a completed feasibility study and serious clinical sponsorship, plus an ongoing capital appeal for the hospital's Mako robotic arm. This isn't a blank page; it's a campaign ready to be brought to life by the right person.
What we're looking for
Someone who genuinely loves philanthropy fundraising, who's energised by building relationships with major donors, not just managing a team that does. Strategic enough to shape where the charity goes next; hands-on enough to be in the room making the ask.
You'll lead a small team of four, working closely with the CEO as part of the Senior Management Team, and operate in a genuinely collaborative partnership with the hospital. You'll be comfortable navigating complex internal stakeholder relationships, influencing senior colleagues, and resilience and an entrepreneurial instinct will go a long way.
What you'll need
-
A track record of personally securing major gifts and building long-term donor relationships
-
Experience developing (not just delivering) a fundraising strategy, ideally in a small team
-
A good working understanding of digital and data-led fundraising; you don't need to be the expert, just know what good looks like
-
Resilience, tenacity, and the appetite to spot and chase opportunities rather than wait for permission
Benefits include
-
33 days' annual leave, including eight bank holidays
-
Nest pension scheme 5% employer and 5% employee
-
Reduced gym membership (on site gym and swimming pool)
-
Subsidised staff restaurant
-
