About the role:

This is a hands-on, people-facing role for someone who takes pride in creating spaces that really work. As our Facilities Manager, you’ll be the driving force behind safe, welcoming and well-run workplaces that allow our teams to focus on what matters most - supporting people out of homelessness. From the moment someone walks through the door of one of our offices, your work will be felt. If you’re someone who spots what needs fixing, improves things before they become problems, and enjoys being right at the heart of an organisation, this role is for you.

Based full-time at our Head Office in King’s Cross, you’ll be visible, present and involved - working on site five days a week and travelling across London to our other offices and services. No two days will look the same. One day you might be problem-solving with a manager, walking a site, or supporting a health and safety issue; the next you could be leading a refurbishment, improving how a space is used, or making sure contractors are delivering what they promised. You’ll manage a small facilities team, oversee reception services, and work closely with colleagues across Single Homeless Project (SHP) to make sure our buildings actively support the work happening inside them.

This is a role for someone who likes ownership and momentum. You’ll need to be practical, organised and confident making decisions - but also warm, approachable and collaborative. If you’re excited by the idea of being a visible leader, enjoy balancing detail with big-picture thinking, and want your work to directly enable frontline services across London, we’d love you to bring your energy, ideas and grit to SHP.

About you:

• You have hands-on facilities management experience and know how to keep buildings safe, functional and fit for purpose.
• You’re confident handling a wide range of property and technical issues, and know when to fix, escalate or bring in the right expertise.
• You hold a relevant Health & Safety qualification and are comfortable leading on compliance in busy office environments.
• You’ve procured and managed facilities contracts before and are confident holding suppliers and contractors to account.
• You’re a strong, people-focused communicator with experience managing staff and delivering a reliable, high-quality service to colleagues.

About Us:

We’re London’s leading homelessness charity – and we get things done.

In a city where hundreds are forced into homelessness every day, our work has never been more needed or more challenging. And we’re not shying away. We’re rolling up our sleeves to make change and helping over 10,000 Londoners every year. We prevent homelessness, provide safe places to live and give people the opportunity to rebuild their lives and transform their futures. And we never give up. 

We’re here for Londoners wherever they are on their journey. We start with trust, building relationships that help people feel safe, supported, and ready to move forward. Every day, we put people first in everything we do, challenging injustice and barriers that keep people from the safety, stability and opportunity they deserve. We stand alongside people as they rebuild and shape a future that feels their own. 

Joining Single Homeless Project means joining a team that’s bold, compassionate and determined to do better for the people we support and for each other. You’ll work alongside colleagues with lived experience, in a space that’s trans-inclusive, disability-friendly, and actively striving to be anti-oppressive and equitable. 

We’re not perfect, but we’re real. We listen. We learn. And we push forward, together. Because this isn’t just a job. It’s a chance to lead with empathy, spark change, and help build a London where no one is left behind.

Do you have hands-on experience of fraud investigations and fraud prevention measures? Keen to apply your knowledge and progress your career within a leading Housing organisation? If yes, look no further - join us as a Corporate Fraud Officer where you'll play a key role in tackling fraud within the business!

This is a role within our Governance and Assurance team which aids our investigatory capabilities across the organisation, as well as maintaining strong relationships with local authorities and other Housing Associations. The housing sector in which we operate is complex, fast-paced and continually evolving, which makes this role equally varied and interesting!

As the Fraud Officer you'll be responsible for:

• Leading, coordinating and resolving corporate fraud investigations, providing outcomes and making appropriate recommendations to the business.
• Developing and implementing practices and procedures for dealing with corporate fraud.
• Developing and delivering fraud prevention strategies.
• Establishing and maintaining networks with local authorities and other Housing Associations to share best practice.
• Championing and promoting fraud awareness across Midland Heart.

This is a unique opportunity to help shape our approach to tackling fraud, but don't just take our word for it, hear from the Hiring Manager Asad Khan, Risk and Assurance Manager - “As an organisation, we have ambitious aims to establish ourselves as the leader in the Midlands on tackling fraud. Supported by myself, you'll gain exposure across all business areas and functions, working closely with Heads of Service as well as establishing relationships with external stakeholders, combining efforts to tackle fraud. We're an organisation that encourages professional growth and development, which means we'll support you to grow by providing a range of development opportunities that support you to achieve a recognised professional qualification, should you want to pursue one”.

Our ideal candidate: We're seeking a self-motivated and credible professional with the following skills and experience:

• You'll have experience of undertaking thorough fraud investigations – experience within the Housing sector is preferred, but not essential.
• You'll have experience of producing robust investigation, outcomes and recommendation reports.
• You'll have experience of presenting complex information to a variety of audiences, with the ability to influence and persuade.
• You'll have excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with experience of building relationships with internal and external stakeholders/agencies to deliver successful outcomes.

Who are Midland Heart? We're one team working together for our tenants; a large and ambitious housing organisation providing more people an affordable place to call home. We welcome people from every walk of life, at every stage of their career.
