Job description

Are you motivated to take on a leadership opportunity where you will influence strategy, shape specialist practice and improve outcomes for people sleeping rough?

We are looking for a dynamic, values‑driven leader to join our Pan London Rough Sleeping teams as Head of Specialist Rough Sleeping Services.

This vital role is central to our work with people facing multiple and overlapping barriers to ending homelessness, particularly migrant and non‑UK national rough sleepers who need specialist advice and support, and gives the opportunity to provide strategic and operational leadership across a portfolio of specialist services, currently including MAPS, the Roma Rough Sleeping Team, London Navigators and StreetLink London.

  • As Head of Specialist Rough Sleeping Services, you will set direction, drive quality and innovation, and ensure our services deliver meaningful recovery outcomes.
  • You will offer inspiring matrix leadership across St Mungo’s, sharing expertise and strategic oversight to improve practice with some of the most marginalised people experiencing homelessness.
  • You will act as a strong external facing advocate, building strong relationships with commissioners, funders and partners, and lead on business development, contract management and service growth to ensure our services remain high quality, sustainable and aligned with St Mungo’s mission.

About you

We are looking for someone who can bring a combination of strong leadership capability, commercial awareness and deep commitment to social justice. If you bring the below, we encourage you to apply:

You will be an experienced leader with a track record of managing services for people experiencing homelessness, migrants or other vulnerable groups, and of guiding teams through change in complex environments.

You will be capable of balancing strategic thinking with operational delivery, ensuring services are high quality, compliant, financially robust and continuously improving.

You can demonstrate a strong knowledge of the policy and practice landscape affecting migrant and advice services, alongside health and social care, hostels, supported housing, and statutory and voluntary sector provision.

You will show clear understanding of the needs of St Mungo’s client groups, including non‑UK nationals, people with substance use and mental health needs, young people, and people with experience of the criminal justice system.

Crucially, you will lead with integrity and compassion, championing client involvement, embedding equality, diversity and inclusion into all aspects of service delivery, and supporting managers and teams to perform at their best.

We are working hard to create a diverse and fully inclusive culture where everyone feels valued. We particularly welcome applications from Global Majority candidates, who are currently under‑represented at this level within our organisation.

Interviews and assessments: 2 and 3 June 2026

Where you’ll be working

In this role you will work flexibly for at least 2 days per week onsite from our Central Office in London or other various services. This allows for in person collaboration, team building, line management and other relationship building opportunities. We support a flexible approach to work with opportunities for agile working for the rest of your week; from home, or other St Mungo’s London or regional locations. 

While our Central Office is currently based in Tower Hill, London we plan to relocate in the summer of 2026 to a new space in Farringdon, London.

  • Excellent Development and Growth Opportunities
  • A Diverse and Inclusive Workplace
  • Great Pay and Other Benefits
