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 become a landlord for the first time in our 60-year history.

Getting stuck into the detail, the Transformation Manager will aid delivery of our strategic programmes by enabling collaboration, providing exemplary programme management, and establishing adaptive ways of working that will shift organisational practice as we go deeper into delivering our strategy.

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.

Guaranteed Interview Scheme

Diversity is one of our core values as an organisation and we are committed to creating an inclusive working environment where diversity is valued and there is equality of opportunity. We also recognise that the climate and ecological crisis disproportionately impacts minority and/or marginalised communities – yet these voices are largely underrepresented in the sector. We strongly encourage people from demographics that are currently underrepresented in the environmental movement to apply, particularly those from ethnic minority backgrounds or living with a disability or long-term health conditions. We will offer an interview to any candidates from ethnic minority backgrounds or living with a disability who opt into our Guaranteed Interview Scheme when applying and who meet the essential criteria for this role.
