Following the Government’s announcement of funding to ensure everyone has a route away from the streets this Christmas, Thames Reach is preparing to recruit for a range of roles across London and want to hear now from people interested in helping people experiencing homelessness to rebuild their lives.

This is an opportunity to join a respected homelessness charity at an important moment, helping shape and deliver services that can make an immediate difference.

You could be supporting people directly, bringing a new service into operation or leading a team through a fast-paced mobilisation.

Whatever the role, you will be joining an organisation where your judgement, initiative and experience to build trusting relationships will be valued.

We welcome interest from:

• People new to the homelessness sector with strong transferable communication and organisational skills, sound judgement and enthusiasm
• People with experience of support work, including experience gained in other sectors or through lived experience
• Experienced managers and team leaders who can support services to mobilise and deliver quickly

New services are being mobilised in new areas across London, and existing teams are being expanded and changed. This means that we don't yet know where all these jobs will be. We're interested in your preferences for an area or type of work, but we particularly welcome applicants who can be flexible.

Our accelerated recruitment process
