Trainer – Homelessness & Multiple Disadvantages
Closing Date: 31st March 2026

About Us

At Standing Together, we believe no one should live in fear, yet domestic abuse affects millions of people, often hidden in plain sight.

We don’t provide frontline services. Instead, we work behind the scenes to change the systems that too often fail survivors; from housing and health to policing, social care and beyond. As a second-tier organisation, we support and strengthen the work of others. We bring agencies together, build skills, offer expert consultancy and drive improvements in policy and practice so that people facing abuse get better, more joined-up support wherever they live.

We’re best known for developing the Coordinated Community Response (CCR) a powerful model that gets services working together to prevent harm and keep people safe. It’s now recognised across the UK and shapes everything we do. Our work is proudly feminist and anti-racist. We know abuse doesn’t exist in a vacuum; it’s linked to inequality, discrimination and injustice. That’s why we’re building a team that reflects the communities we serve, with space for diverse voices and lived experience.
We’re remote-based but closely connected through shared values, mutual respect and a deep belief in the power of system change.

We stand with survivors. We stand for justice. We stand together for change.

The Opportunity

Be part of a national team improving how services respond to domestic abuse.

We are seeking a passionate and dedicated candidate to join our Training team at Standing Together. If you are someone who shares our passion to improve the lives of some of the most vulnerable groups, then we would love to hear from you.

We are looking for an experienced trainer to come on board and lead on the delivery and development of our bespoke suite of training for frontline homelessness/rough sleeping teams and supported accommodation organisations. You will work across the Training and Multiple Disadvantage & Homelessness Teams at STADA; both of which focus on transforming the support available to survivors of domestic abuse.

We are looking for a creative, passionate and engaging person who can clearly communicate to learners the impact of domestic abuse on individuals experiencing homelessness and multiple disadvantage. The goal of this role is to support frontline workers in homelessness settings to identify and respond to domestic abuse as part of a Coordinated Community Response.

REF-227 227

Senior Infrastructure EngineerWhat does it take to keep a charity like ours running? What sits behind every support call answered, every research database accessed, every fundraising campaign delivered? Infrastructure. And the people who build, protect and evolve it.

As a Senior Infrastructure Engineer, you'll play a central role in keeping that foundation strong, secure and ready for what comes next. Reporting to the Infrastructure Services Manager, you'll support, maintain and enhance our enterprise infrastructure across Azure cloud, identity, endpoint, network and core platform services. You'll lead on complex incidents, drive root-cause analysis, and bring the kind of calm, expert thinking that keeps services running and colleagues confident. This is a hands-on role with real scope to influence how we design and operate our infrastructure for the long term.

Please note that this is a 12 month fixed term contract position.

About you:

You're an experienced infrastructure professional who brings both depth of technical knowledge and the mindset of a trusted colleague. You understand that the work you do has real consequences for real people, and that motivates you to get things right. You're equally comfortable diving into a complex incident at pace and stepping back to think about how we build more resilient, secure and cost-effective services over time.

You take security seriously, communicate with clarity across technical and non-technical audiences, and you thrive in environments where collaboration and accountability go hand in hand. You're someone who keeps learning, shares what you know, and makes the team around you better.

You'll have:

- A grounding in enterprise infrastructure – servers, directory services, hybrid identity – and the hands-on experience to back it up.
- Managing and supporting Disaster Recovery services to address continuity of vital business functions.
- Subject matter expertise in Azure: cloud platforms, virtual compute, storage, networking and the governance principles that keep it all accountable.
- A security-first mindset, with practical knowledge of MFA, conditional access, privileged access management and vulnerability remediation.
- Proven networking foundations across WAN, VPN, firewalling and secure remote access.
- The discipline to work within ITSM frameworks and the rigour to maintain accurate configuration and asset data.
- Experience working alongside a Managed Service Provider as part of an augmented team, including managing service quality and accountability.
- A track record of producing documentation that works for diverse audiences – runbooks, procedures, service improvement write-ups.
- Genuine curiosity about the infrastructure landscape and a commitment to staying sharp as it evolves.

What you'll focus on:

- Keeping our hybrid infrastructure secure, stable and performing – day in, day out, and under pressure when it counts.
- Owning complex incidents from first response through to root-cause analysis and lasting fixes.
- Working shoulder-to-shoulder with our Security team to embed good practice across everything we build and run.
- Helping us get more from what we have – through cost optimisation, service rationalisation and smarter configuration.
- Being a dependable partner to suppliers and managed service providers, holding them to the standard our users deserve.
- Championing modern identity protection across the organisation.
- Bringing energy and expertise to a team that genuinely wants to do good work together.

The infrastructure you build here will help us reach more people living with dementia, more quickly, more reliably. If you're ready to bring your infrastructure skills and wider technology expertise to a role with real purpose, we'd love to hear from you.

Important Dates

- Application deadline is 23:59 on Sunday 29th March 2026
- Interviews begin week commencing: 6th April 2026

At Alzheimer's Society, we're the UK's leading dementia charity and the only one to tackle all aspects of dementia by giving help and hope to people living with dementia today and in the future. We give vital support to people facing the most frightening times of their lives, while also funding groundbreaking research and campaigning to make dementia the priority it should be.

Together with our supporters, we're working towards a world where dementia no longer devastates lives.

Our values make sure that our focus is clear for the challenges and opportunities ahead and remind us of what we all stand for.

Our commitment to Equity, Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging

We need to ensure the voices around our table better reflect and understand the communities we exist to serve. We strongly encourage individuals to apply who have a disability, impairment or health condition or individuals who identify as Black, Asian or from another minority ethnic background, as these groups are currently under-represented at Alzheimer's Society.

We want everyone we work with, as a colleague, volunteer, supporter, or someone we support, to feel included and that they belong at Alzheimer's Society. 

Our Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Strategy here along with our internal employee forum and Employee Lived Experience network groups help us promote inclusion and belonging, becoming an engaged and inclusive organisation for all our people. 

Our hiring process

During your recruitment process we want to make sure that you bring your whole self and can be at your best.

We try to avoid closing roles early where possible, however if we receive a high volume of applications, we may close earlier than the advertised closing date. Should this occur, we will aim to provide you with at least 48 hours' notice.

We are committed to safer recruitment and ensuring the welfare of those we work with, due to the nature of some of our roles, we might need to carry out a Criminal Record Check at the relevant level. You can read more information via our Website.

Our employees work hard every day to make a true difference in people's lives. We are proud to support them with a range of benefits, recognition and many options for working agilely, all contributing to a strong work life balance.
