Transition manager jobs
About the role:
At Grace House, SHP’s specialist 11-bed hostel for women in Camden, you’ll step into a leadership role that offers real purpose and the chance to drive meaningful, lasting change. As Service Manager, you’ll be at the helm of a pioneering service that supports women experiencing multiple disadvantage; homelessness, domestic abuse, substance use, poor mental health and the ongoing impact of trauma and exploitation. You’ll guide and inspire a skilled, passionate team dedicated to a trauma-informed, gender-responsive approach that supports each woman to reclaim safety, rebuild trust and shape a life on her own terms.
This is a unique opportunity to lead a service known for its compassion, collaborative ethos and commitment to continuous learning. The day to day brings challenge and reward in equal measure: managing a multidisciplinary team that includes project workers, an ETE specialist and a dedicated health lead; shaping practice through the lens of our Psychologically Informed Environment framework; and fostering strong partnerships with services across mental health, substance use and violence against women and girls. Every interaction is rooted in empowerment and possibility, creating space for healing, hope and opportunity.
At SHP, you won’t just grow in your role, you’ll shape it. We offer a leadership journey grounded in reflective practice, robust supervision and access to development pathways that will support you to lead not just this service, but potentially others in the future. You’ll be part of a values-led organisation where your voice counts, your impact matters and your career can truly flourish. If you're ready to lead with purpose and make a difference that lasts, this is where your next chapter begins.
Please note: This role is open to female applicants only under Schedule 9, Paragraph 1 of the Equality Act 2010, as the service delivers trauma-informed support to women affected by Violence against Women and Girls (VAWG.) We are committed to equal opportunities and actively welcome applicants from all backgrounds.
About you:
- Leadership that inspires confidence, compassion, and accountability.
- A proven track record of working within a trauma-informed, PIE service — ideally with women or multiple disadvantage groups.
- Experience of leading and developing a team with a focus on quality, outcomes, and values-led delivery.
- A deep understanding of the challenges faced by women experiencing homelessness, and a commitment to feminist and anti-oppressive practice.
- Strong partnership skills and the ability to advocate for clients within complex systems.

Carers are at the heart of everything we do. That's because unpaid carers are the people holding their communities together. Caring can be rewarding, but far too many carers are facing tough life challenges that can make it hard to keep on going. It could be money worries because they've had to give up work or the sheer exhaustion that can come from caring. Carers, of all ages, including young carers, need much more support. And that's why we're on their side, fighting for the recognition they deserve and delivering the services they need most.
We do this by partnering with our UK-wide network of local organisations, who collectively reached over one million carers last year. We work with our network to deliver the best possible support for carers - both nationally and locally. At a national level we raise funds, influence governments and campaign for change. Then we turn this into what carers really need: small grants, up-to-date information and practical support.
Our ideal candidate:
- Proven experience in project management using Agile and Waterfall approaches, particularly in CRM implementation or similar digital transformation projects.
- Strong understanding of Dynamics / Salesforce CRM systems and their application in a non-profit or charity context.
- Excellent organizational and time management skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities.
- Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to work effectively with diverse teams and stakeholders.

We support outstanding individuals pursuing their own vision for change in an issue where they have first-hand experience. They are driven by a personal commitment to tackle today’s key issues, to develop new solutions for their communities and sectors, and to exchange ideas throughout the UK and beyond. They work across all of today’s most pressing challenges, from protecting the environment to preventing domestic abuse, from increasing youth employment to enriching urban spaces and much more.
Collectively, they create change that reaches across the country. Every year we select over 100 new Fellows and fund them to spend up to two months discovering new approaches around the world for practical issues they care passionately about. Fellowships cover every aspect of UK life because our approach is universal, responsive and inclusive. We respond to emerging trends and challenges and our Fellowships are open to all UK adults regardless of qualifications, background or age. Fellows propose their own programmes of research and action and bring their lived or learned experience of their chosen subject.
We believe in the power and potential of individuals and prioritise people and topics that would not be funded elsewhere.
This inclusive approach gives the Fellowship a unique range and authority and has created a powerful model for change, based on real needs, frontline insight and personal dedication. It offers dynamic individuals the recognition, funding and support to pursue what is often their mission of a lifetime.
The Fellowship was created by public subscription in 1965 as the living legacy of Sir Winston Churchill. Since then we have made almost 6000 grants to inspiring individuals who possess the passion and commitment to make a real difference. Many Fellows become knowledge leaders and influencers for the long term and continue to feel the beneficial effects of the Fellowship decades after being awarded.
