Could you head up services for people struggling against homelessness and exclusion across Bedfordshire and beyond?

You will be working for a charity which exists to create a fairer and more equitable society, where the immense value and potential of people experiencing poverty and disadvantage is realised. They prevent and relieve homelessness, specialising in supporting people facing multiple disadvantage.

The charity supported 2,514 individuals last year - with 623 people moving into more stable housing, 1,200 people receiving training or advice, and 96 people securing employment. 53% of those supported were non-UK nationals.

We are looking for a motivated individual with a real passion for the mission of alleviating poverty and bringing hope to join a committed, talented, and friendly team as Head of Services. As a critical member of the Senior Management Team and as designated Safeguarding Lead, in this role, you will contribute to the long-term success of the charity by:

Leading and developing high-quality homelessness support services 
Building and nurturing stakeholder relationships
Consistently improving quality, impact, and safety within services 

We are seeking a candidate with a proven track record overseeing statutory-funded and homelessness support services. The ability to operate at a senior and strategic level, drive organisational development and growth, and lead teams through change would be highly valued. A strong record of building and maintaining fruitful stakeholder relationships based on trust is crucial to realising the organisational goals. Excellent understanding of safeguarding legislation and best practice, as well as knowledge of the migrant support landscape and legislation, will be instrumental in the continued success of the charity.

Why Apply

The charity has experienced significant growth in recent years, and this new role represents an exciting opportunity for them to further their service-led focus and strategic plans. These plans include expanding support and advice services for migrants, establishing new social enterprises, launching services in Bucks and Herts, and replacing the Luton Welfare Centre. This role offers a platform for your professional growth and development as the charity embarks on these exciting initiatives.

They are a values-driven and progressive charity at an important stage in their development. We would love to hear from you if their mission resonates and you share these aims.
