Location: Hybrid in England

Salary: £50,000 pro rata, per annum

Standing Tall – what we do?

Standing Tall is ending homelessness one person at a time by supporting and matching people experiencing homelessness with stable jobs and safe homes. It’s the combination of a stable job and a safe home that’s providing a realistic pathway for the people we help to leave the streets for good. Our model is working with 80% of the people we help being still off the streets and in the same job one year later!

When a person is ready, we match them into a stable real Living Wage job with one of our employer partners. These include Network Rail, Amey and Lambe Construction. At the same time, we ensure these people have a safe home through our Amici hosting service. After 6 months with one of our Amici Hosts, the person is ready to get their own place.

We’ve been working in Birmingham since 2020, and in London and Manchester since 2022. In September we start to work in Liverpool, Leeds and Bristol and by Christmas we’ll be working in the East Midlands too. This expansion will mean we can double the people we’ll help from 50 to over 100 each year. Last November we won Social Enterprise UK’s ‘One to Watch’ Award. We have ambition to be grow our operations into each large city in the UK.
