About Us

Street Support Network is a small, impactful charity that helps over 30 locations in the UK in their responses to homelessness.

Lead organisations in these locations pay us to host and maintain a localised online directory of services and advice. This is where most of our income comes from.

We also work offline, connecting people in local areas to co-produce better solutions, facilitate conversations and co-ordinate action.

About the Role

This interim role will play a pivotal part in the future of the charity by leading the team and our network of local partnerships to support those experiencing, or at risk of experiencing homelessness.

This high-impact role requires an independent and strategic leader who can balance managing existing partnerships with identifying and cultivating new opportunities and exploring options for a sustainable future for the charity.

We anticipate this role is needed initially for a six- month period to complete an options appraisal for the future. A longer-term appointment is possible, depending on the outcome of the appraisal.

The ideal candidate will demonstrate strong initiative, leadership, and the ability to contribute to both short-term and long-term strategic goals.

As a very small team we are very values driven and not too formal. Everyone really cares about what we do and homelessness more generally.

• Provide guidance to local partners on their fundraising initiatives and grant applications to meet their SSN fees.

Explore and present an options appraisal for the future of Street Support Network:

• Work with Trustees, team and external partners to explore options for the future of SSN to include options for expansion and development of new products and services or for consolidation.
• Collect evidence and undertake stakeholder consultation and provide written reports to Trustees to help with decision making.
