• Provide short- to medium-term casework that enhances existing team capacity and ensures continuity of support for people at risk of homelessness.

About Alzheimer’s Research UK: Alzheimer's Research UK is the UK's leading dementia research charity. Our mission is to accelerate progress towards a cure.  Today 1 in 2 people will be impacted by dementia, either through caring for a loved one, developing it themselves or tragically both. But there is hope. 

We are looking for a new senior political adviser who will help build on our relationships and networks across Westminster, to deliver ambitious political leadership on a range of issues.

• Track issues and analyse their relevance to the organisation’s objectives, and the UK’s environmental agenda, with a particular focus on our efforts to rebuild the cross-party consensus on the environment. 

• Contribute to the implementation of Green Alliance’s political strategy and deputise for senior political staff, where necessary. 

• Represent Green Alliance at external events, including speaking on panels and webinars, and attending events and conferences. 

• Develop and sustain Green Alliance’s relationships with decision makers in Westminster and Whitehall and use them to enhance the impact of our work. 

• Where relevant, develop and maintain relationships across the environmental sector to maximise impact of our strategic priorities. 

• Strengthen and expand Green Alliance’s relationships with political journalists in the Westminster lobby and enhance their understanding of environmental issues and the politics around the net zero goal and nature. 

• Write (or ghost write) briefings, articles and content on behalf of Green Alliance, and our partners and allies, to effect meaningful policy change in Westminster. 

• Build relationships with MPs’ and peers’ offices to table Written and Oral Questions, provide briefings for debates and evidence sessions, and more, as well as strengthen relations with relevant select committee staff. 

• Manage projects efficiently, within budget and to deadlines, including the task management of other team members. 

• Initiate new projects and strategically develop existing ones to maximise our impact. 

• Lead funding bids for new projects, including setting budgets and work plans, liaising with the Director of politics and Director of strategic partnerships. 

• Be an active member of the Green Alliance staff team, contributing to a supportive and inclusive work culture. 

• Work effectively as part of a team and work independently with initiative and drive. 

• As required, manage consultants or freelancers. 

• Any other task which may reasonably be requested to be undertaken within the scope of this post.

Crisis is the national charity for homeless people. We know that homelessness is not inevitable. We know that together we can end it.

Crisis is the national charity for people experiencing homelessness. We have embarked on our 10-year strategy for ending homelessness. We know it is not inevitable. We know together we can end it.

Contract: Fixed term contract or external secondment opportunity until 31 March 2026, with the possibility of extension

About the role

CTI is part of a housing-led response to ending homelessness. CTI is an evidence-based model, designed for times of transition for people who require support to navigate often fragmented systems. It uses a time limited case management approach to support people through a period of transition which works towards preventing and ending homelessness.

The model is strictly time limited and prescriptive in its application and Crisis’ CTI pilot will run close to the CTI principles. The timing of movement through the phases is defined by the Programme model.

CTI consists of four main phases:

1. Pre CTI: in which the relationship with the client is developed and their goals and ambitions are identified, (no timescale – could be days, months or years)
2. Transition: providing support & beginning to connect client to people and agencies that will assume the primary role of support and enable them to meet their goals (3 months)
3. Try out: monitoring and strengthening support network and client’s skills (3 months)
4. Transfer of care: terminating CTI and stepping right back (3 months)

The post holder will be working within the framework of CTI, supporting prison leavers from prison into accommodation, thus preventing homelessness on release from custody.

About you

To be successful in this role you will have experience of delivering person centred support with statutory and non-statutory services within the criminal justice system, offering coaching and mentoring, learning support and/or personal development training, ideally working to matrix standards. You will also have an appreciation of delivering this within a time limited framework.

You will demonstrate knowledge of issues affecting homeless or vulnerably housed individuals which could include mental illness, addiction, the benefit system and housing. Being committed to empowering homeless and vulnerably housed individuals is essential to this role.

�� What We’re Looking For

• Accounting qualification (e.g. ACA, ACCA, CIMA) or demonstrable equivalent experience in financial management and reporting.

• Experience managing finance processes, with a track record of ensuring accuracy, compliance, and efficiency.

• Able to communicate effectively in written and verbal formats, and work independently to identify and act on opportunities or solve problems.
