Beyond jobs

We’re looking for someone who makes things happen

We’re looking for a proactive, curious and practical research and evaluation leader who spots opportunities, builds partnerships, and helps us turn lived experience into evidence that improves services, influences policy and drives change.

The Hepatitis C Trust is one of the UK’s biggest lived-experience organisations working in Inclusion Health. With almost 500 staff and volunteers, our teams work in communities and prisons across England, and in parts of Scotland and Wales, reaching people that mainstream health services routinely struggle to engage.

This gives us a unique reach among populations whose voices are too often missing from research, policy and service design.

Our research and evaluation programme aims to:

• Evidence the impact of our programmes and services.
• Understand what works, and what doesn’t, in improving outcomes for marginalised and excluded communities.
• Strengthen our understanding of the value and potential of peer-led and lived experience approaches.
• Improve the representation of excluded populations in research, policy and service design.

We’re looking for someone who:

• Has a strong background in research and evaluation, including both qualitative and quantitative methods.
• Is proactive, self-directed and comfortable taking ownership of projects.
• Has experience of generating evidence that informs policy, practice or service improvement.
• Is excited by the potential of lived experience and peer-led approaches.
• Builds strong relationships and enjoys working collaboratively.
• Has excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Is committed to equity, inclusion and social justice.

Why this role?

You’ll have genuine autonomy to help shape a growing research and evaluation function within one of the UK’s leading lived-experience organisations. Most importantly, you’ll have the opportunity to generate evidence that changes services, influences policy and improves outcomes for some of the most marginalised communities in society.

Recruitment timetable

Application deadline: 11:59 PM on Sunday 23rd August

First-round interviews: 7-8 September 2026

Salary: £38-40k

The role can be full-time or part-time, depending on the successful candidate’s availability. Ideally, you’ll work from our London office at least two days a week, although we can be flexible for the right person.

The Hepatitis C Trust is committed to equity and inclusion, and particularly welcomes applications from people with lived experience of hepatitis C, drug use, homelessness, the criminal justice system, or other experiences of social exclusion.

About the role:

For someone moving away from street homelessness, having a home can be life-changing — but keeping that home can take the right support at the right moment. TST North works with people in social housing across North, West and East London, helping them build stability, independence and confidence in their own home.

As a Tenancy Rescue Worker, you’ll step in when someone’s tenancy, safety or wellbeing is at risk. Your day-to-day work will include responding to internal referrals, visiting clients in their homes, assessing risk and need, co-producing support and safety plans, and taking practical action around issues such as arrears, debts, benefits, anti-social behaviour, safeguarding concerns, poor health, substance use, domestic abuse or social isolation.

You’ll work closely with clients, TST colleagues, housing providers, local authorities and specialist services to prevent situations from escalating and help people stay safely housed. This could mean advocating with a landlord, helping someone access health or welfare support, coordinating a multi-agency response, supporting a client to understand their tenancy rights and responsibilities, or helping rebuild trust where services have not always felt safe or reliable.

This is a new role in TST North, so you’ll also help shape how the service responds when people are at greatest risk of losing the stability they have worked hard to build. You’ll bring calm, skilled intervention, strong partnership working and a real belief that people should not be left to fall back into homelessness when the right support could help them stay safely housed.

About You:

• You know how much a stable home can change someone’s future, and you bring the skill, patience and belief needed to help people protect it.
• You’re confident working with people experiencing multiple disadvantage, using trauma-informed, strengths-based support to build trust, reduce risk and create practical next steps.
• You can respond calmly when things are escalating, making sound decisions around safeguarding, tenancy risk, arrears, wellbeing concerns or crisis situations.
• You understand the realities of tenancy sustainment, housing rights, financial pressure and partnership working — and you know how to turn that knowledge into action for clients.
• You’re reflective, collaborative and solutions-focused, with the confidence to help shape a new role and strengthen how TST supports people to stay safely housed.

About us:

We’re London’s leading homelessness charity – and we get things done.

In a city where hundreds are forced into homelessness every day, our work has never been more needed or more challenging. And we’re not shying away. We’re rolling up our sleeves to make change and helping over 10,000 Londoners every year. We prevent homelessness, provide safe places to live and give people the opportunity to rebuild their lives and transform their futures. And we never give up. 

We’re here for Londoners wherever they are on their journey. We start with trust, building relationships that help people feel safe, supported, and ready to move forward. Every day, we put people first in everything we do, challenging injustice and barriers that keep people from the safety, stability and opportunity they deserve. We stand alongside people as they rebuild and shape a future that feels their own. 

Joining Single Homeless Project means joining a team that’s bold, compassionate and determined to do better for the people we support and for each other. You’ll work alongside colleagues with lived experience, in a space that’s trans-inclusive, disability-friendly, and actively striving to be anti-oppressive and equitable. 

We’re not perfect, but we’re real. We listen. We learn. And we push forward, together. Because this isn’t just a job. It’s a chance to lead with empathy, spark change, and help build a London where no one is left behind.
