We support a flexible approach to work with opportunities for agile working for the rest of your week; from home, or other St Mungo’s London or regional locations.

**About you**

- You work well with others at all levels of an organisation, including providing supportive line management, offering expertise to support colleagues, and engaging senior leaders with high profile activity.
- You are passionate about building a culture where external communications are consistent, impactful and contribute to a wider organisational mission.
- You can bring your experience of leading busy teams with a communications focus.
- You have a genuine interest and commitment to tackling homelessness and ending rough sleeping.

**How to apply**

**Closing date: 10am on 19 November 2025**

While our Central Office is currently based in Tower Hill, London we plan to relocate in the summer of 2026 and are currently exploring alternative office locations on the eastern edge of the City of London.

At St Mungo’s our vision is that everyone has a place to call home and can fulfil their hopes and ambitions. As a homelessness charity and housing association, our clients are at the heart of what we do, and in 2019 - 2020 we supported 32,800 people across all of our services. Our staff are crucial to making this happen.
