It will also explore the possibility of establishing a commercial partnerships function with the Business Development Director.

This role will lead one of our most exciting new areas of work.

These new partners will maximise the impact of our work, enhance our ability to influence system change or simply engage in the exchange of knowledge around our innovation ambition. The candidate will first build a clear understanding of all our strategic partnerships across the organisation; find ways with Heads/Managers of teams to maximise them (focusing on strategic impact and effective collaboration); and finally implement a plan to scope further partners globally in line with Start Network’s strategy and gaps. 

Our hope is that after 12 months we will have set up a new function which will nurture and maximise current strategic partners for the benefit of system change globally, as well as having a clear understanding of gaps for future partnerships. This role will then continue to look for new, high impact relationships globally that can support the internal operations of the organisation and our members and hubs and advance our strategic aims. Beyond this, they will have explored potential commercial partnerships for Start Network in the short to medium term.

The successful candidate will have a proven track record of developing and managing successful partnerships globally, a strategic mindset, and the ability to think creatively to identify new opportunities. Further, it will require commercial experience, understanding of building social
enterprises / building for-profit arms of charities.

You will work on issues such as the growth in council tax debt and bailiff use, the huge build up in energy debt as a result of the cost of living crisis and making insolvency policy and practice fairer and more accessible so more people can get out of debt.

You will be a key member of our household debt project team, working alongside the Head of Campaigns, Head of Policy and Advocacy, Digital Campaigner and Lead  Organiser.

We are looking for someone with great policy analysis and advocacy skills, a strong campaigning mindset, and a passion for social justice. We are not expecting you to already be an expert in all aspects of the role or in household debt policy but are looking for someone with the potential to develop quickly. Crucially, you will also need to appreciate why taking a community organising approach and building the power of people affected by debt is important, though you do not need to have experience in community organising.

This role will require some evening and weekend working, though this will be infrequent.

We strongly value diversity and welcome applications from people from all backgrounds. We would particularly like to encourage applications from women and non-binary people, people of colour, people who identify as LGTBQIA+ and people who identify as working class or have done in the past. If you have a question about location or any other aspect of the role, please do get in touch.

Location: Stockwell, London 

Salary: £38,552 per annum 

Permanent 

Full time (37.5 hours per week Monday to Friday On site at Stockwell) 

Closing date: 17 November 2024 

Interviews: w/c 18 November 2024 onwards

If you are an experienced Service/Team Manager or an existing Team Leader looking to further develop a career in the homelessness/supported housing sector, then Evolve is the place for you. 

We offer a supportive environment for our Team Managers to work collaboratively as part of a team of passionate and knowledgeable colleagues. 

At Evolve Stockwell, we recognize the importance of creating a strong foundation for parents and their children and our young unaccompanied asylum seekers to ensure that they are provided with tailored support on their path to independent living. Between you and your Team Leader you will manage 11 colleagues to deliver these key housing and support services. 

Our young parents service is based across two sites as follows - Georgian Houses Stockwell where we house 20 young parents and their children; Keystone House (A lower needs service based in Croydon) which has 5 young parents with up to 2 children each. We support our young people, helping them to maintain their health during pregnancy, prepare for birth and develop childcare and positive parenting skills on their path to independent living. 

The service team also supports 7 unaccompanied asylum-seekers, who live on-site in a building called Olive House. We support these young people to improve their independent living skills, through a range of activities, as well as working alongside other agency's to support each individual through the asylum seeking process. We also need to refer some of the young people to external agencies to enable them to support those with complex trauma. 

The Stockwell site is a large one, with an independent nursery and fitness club using our facilities. 

What will your responsibilities be as Service Manager? 

You will have full responsibility for ensuring the effective operation of the whole Stockwell site with overnight night concierge services provided by our Night Concierge managers for you. We own and rent part of the site - King Georges House, which currently houses 40 women as part of the refugee and resettlement pathway in Lambeth. Whilst their support is delivered by The Single Homeless Project, Evolve lead on the housing management aspect via our internal rent and income team. 

You will act as a general point of contact for day-to-day support queries for colleagues on shift and you will be expected to support and manage the Team Leader in the overall day-to-day management of the service whilst ensuring they hold key supervisory responsibility for the team. 

The service has a team of 11 colleagues which includes two night support workers, and you will recruit, manage and lead colleagues to ensure they realise their full potential in their roles. This will include managing induction and probation procedures effectively, conducting one to ones, coaching, identifying and taking action on training and development needs as appropriate. The service has been established now for 18 months and we have recently become Ofsted registered so improving on the existing foundations and working with Lambeth Local Authority commissioners to establish Evolve as a trusted partner is a key responsibility. 

Evolve is a truly great place to work, and because we are relatively small, as a Team Manager you can really see where you add value. We provide welcome and necessary support to our colleagues and managers who have challenging but rewarding roles.

About us 

Evolve is a leading homelessness charity in London, providing housing and support to over 1,300 people each year. 

Our aim is to help children, young people and adults who are homeless or at risk of homelessness to become independent and resilient. We believe in building on people’s strengths, aspirations and goals to help them break the cycle of homelessness. 

We offer a programme of support tailored to meet people’s individual needs, including housing, employment and skills training, mentoring and counselling. We work with young parents and children at risk of exclusion to build the skills and resilience that can help prevent homelessness. We campaign to end street homelessness. We build affordable homes to help people move on to an independent life. 

In her time in parliament Jo Cox MP established a commission on loneliness with Seema Kennedy MP. After her murder this became known as the Jo Cox Loneliness Commission, and was pivotal in bringing about and influencing the UK government’s first loneliness strategy.

Seven years on from the publication of the Jo Cox Loneliness Commission’s report, we have received funding from The Astra Foundation to establish a new Loneliness Policy Group for the voluntary sector to ensure a joined up approach and collaboration on this issue.

As Public Affairs and Policy Manager (Loneliness) at the Jo Cox Foundation you'll establish this group and lead it, working with trusted partners to generate policy recommendations and engaging policy makers, elected representatives, and other decision makers to advocate for their implementation. 

As you would expect the Jo Cox Foundation has historically strong relationships with politicians across parties. This is especially true of our work on loneliness, where we continue to have unrivalled access to Ministers and Civil Servants.

This is an incredibly exciting opportunity to develop this area of work at the Foundation and drive policy change for the loneliness sector. Through this, you’ll continue the positive legacy already established for Jo in the field of loneliness and support our vision of a less lonely, better connected society in the UK.
