Center for Civilians in Conflict (CIVIC) is an international non-profit with offices around the world working to improve protection for civilians caught in conflict zones. CIVIC envisions a world in which no civilian is harmed in conflict. Our mission is to support communities affected by conflict in their quest for protection and strengthen the resolve and capacity of armed actors to prevent and respond to civilian harm. We are advocates who believe that no civilian caught in conflict should be ignored, and advisors who provide practical solutions to preventing and responding to civilian harm.

As part of our ambitious five-year goal to champion a significant reduction in conflict-related civilian harm, we are expanding our work and global footprint with plans to soon open a European hub in the Hague in the Netherlands. We will continue our work in Africa and the Middle East and deepen our advocacy with European governments and institutions, NATO, United Nations bodies and Member States, and the United States. At the same time, we will conduct research and explore opportunities for light touch interventions in Latin America, Asia, and North Africa.

We count on a diverse and sustainable funding portfolio to implement our programming, including unrestricted funds from global donors such as Open Society Foundations and the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency. This year we expect to double our revenue raised from $10M to $20M to continue our vital work.

Central London, like many cities across the world, is an exciting and stimulating place. However, for some, it is a place to go when things have gone profoundly wrong and there is nowhere else. When people are on the edge, rough sleeping, isolated and in despair there must be a place to turn. The Connection is there to be with people as they overcome their problems, recover and move on to a meaningful, fulfilling life.

However, this is not enough. The experiences of people on the edge matter. Their story must be told to those in a position of power and influence, so that rough sleeping is not an accepted feature of life in the UK.

The Connection at St. Martin’s tackles rough sleeping by:

• providing services designed to help people to recognise their own strengths, recover from crisis and move away from the streets for good;

• collaborating with others to achieve this – a person’s rough sleeping situation is rarely addressed by one agency working alone;

• Sharing our learning with others, to deepen our own understanding and create a more socially just society for those on the margins not just in London, but other parts of the UK and the world.

The Engagement Lead will take forward our Engagement and Assessment work including our Resource Centre, Triage and Brief Intervention Team, Street Engagement Team, Emergency Accommodation Team and System Change Project. The role requires someone with a strong track record in service delivery with people who have complex needs.

They must have experience of strengths-based assessment and case work, supported housing and provision of practical help such as washing facilities and meals. Alongside ensuring high quality service delivery, they must have experience of developing new approaches and working with fundraising specialists to secure resources. The Engagement Lead will be a well organised and focused manager who uses coaching techniques to develop their team. Finally, they must be a positive role model with the personal credibility to build confidence in the charity both internally and externally.

So, are you interested in this rewarding role that comes with some really great benefits? To apply, please submit an application form highlighting that you meet the requirements of the role set out in the person specification. Only candidates that provide this, and who meet the essential criteria within the person specification, will be considered for an interview.

Details of the role including the person specification can be found attached.

Please find the application form attached.

This is a permanent contract.
