The role

Ever wanted to join a team where innovation feels accessible, energising and genuinely meaningful? We create safe, structured spaces for bold ideas, help people navigate complexity with confidence, and turn creativity into sustainable practice with equity at its heart. If the idea of working in a major funder and shaping futures that matter excites you, we’d love you to be part of our journey.

In this role, you’ll move fluidly between designing and facilitating creative sessions, collaborating with colleagues to unpack complex challenges, and turning insights into clear, co-created practical next steps. Your day might involve shaping a new tool or provocation, making sense of emerging patterns, meeting partners to explore possibilities, or helping teams navigate ambiguity with confidence. No two days are the same, which is why we work supportively together, creating space to listen, challenge, reflect and offer different perspectives.

You’ll bring a deeply human, emotionally intelligent way of working, with empathy to understand the people and communities we design with, and to create spaces where they feel safe to explore new ideas.

You’ll bring creativity and openness, continually finding new ways to frame challenges, alongside a reflective mindset that learns in the open, listens deeply, and adapts thoughtfully as ideas evolve. Above all, you’ll believe that meaningful change comes from people working well together and you’ll use your skills to help make that happen.

Safer Recruitment

Depaul UK is committed to fair and inclusive recruitment, and we welcome applications from people of all backgrounds. If a role requires it under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975, we will carry out the appropriate Disclosure & Barring Service (DBS) check.

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.
