Job Information:

This exciting new role in our award-winning External Affairs Department will fight for the hospice sector and people who need their care and support.

This is a critical time for hospice and end of life care. Hospices across the UK are in the worst financial situation they have faced for 20 years. The funding crisis means hospices are cutting services and making redundancies.

But this is also a time of significant political opportunity. The Assisted Dying Bill has placed palliative care firmly on the agenda. We have recently secured £100m of emergency funding for the sector in England and the 10-year health plan has identified hospices as central to the shift from hospital to community. 

To seize this once in a generation opportunity, we are expanding our UK-wide policy and public affairs team from six to eight, including a new Policy and Public Affairs Manager. 

We are looking for a proactive and driven policy and public affairs professional with excellent influencing and communication skills. You will have your finger on the pulse and have strong policy and political knowledge that enables you to quickly understand and analyse the impact of external developments. 

You will be curious about how best to improve people’s experiences of death, dying and bereavement and strengthen the contribution of the hospice sector to this. As well as collaborative and committed to building coalitions to maximise our impact. 

You will provide leadership but must also be willing to pitch in at all levels to get things done. Excellent project management skills will mean you can identify where our resource is best spent and how to delegate tasks. This exciting new role in our award-winning External Affairs Department will fight for the hospice sector and people who need their care and support.

You will personally lead an impressive and wide ranging portfolio of work. This includes leading the charge on securing long-reform of the way hospices are funded in England and taking the next steps in our UK-wide policy and public affairs work on access to palliative and end of life care for people living in financial hardship. You will also line manage a new Policy and Public Affairs Assistant who will be supporting our team across all four nations of the UK.

This is your chance to play a key role in creating a country where no one misses out on the care they need at the end of their lives. For more information, refer to our candidate information pack.

Are you a visionary leader, with a heart for social justice and passionate about transforming society?

Join us in building a transformative space for young people to get them work ready and equip them with the skills and mindsets they need to succeed in employment, no matter the barriers they face.

Help shape homes that change lives

This isn’t just a job in housing. It’s a chance to be part of something that matters.

At Zetetick Housing, we provide supported living for adults with learning disabilities, autism and other needs. We work with care providers to make sure our tenants feel safe, respected, and at home.

We’re looking for a Housing Officer who doesn’t just tick boxes, but genuinely cares. Someone who notices the small things. Someone who wants to be part of a team that quietly gets on with doing things properly.

You’ll be helping people move into homes where they can finally settle. You’ll sort out repairs that actually get done. And you’ll build relationships with care providers, social workers and landlords so everyone’s pulling in the same direction.

What you’ll be doing

• Visiting properties and talking with tenants

• Helping people settle into their new home

• Sorting out safety checks and making sure they’re followed up

• Noticing what’s missing and putting it right

• Keeping records tidy and up to date

• Supporting the wider team so nothing gets missed

This is hands-on work with real variety. Based in our Uckfield and Croydon offices. Some days you’ll be out on site, others catching up on systems or sorting logistics. You’ll see the direct impact of what you do.

You’ll fit right in if you…

• Have housing or care experience and understand how the two connect

• Know your way around benefits and tenancy paperwork

• Can stay calm under pressure and get things done without fuss

• Are practical, observant and good with people

• Have a driving licence and are happy to travel between sites

If you’ve worked in supported housing or with people with learning disabilities, great. If not, we’ll help you learn. What matters is your attitude and your care for people.

Why join Zetetick

We’re a small charity with strong values. We believe that the way we do things matters just as much as what we do. Our team looks out for each other and we always try to do right by our tenants.

This role isn’t about targets or ticking off lists. It’s about helping people live well, in homes that feel like their own. You’ll have a clear purpose, a supportive manager, and space to grow.
