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.
