About us
Who we are
When you work for The Connection, you are part of a life-changing team. We help people sleeping rough in the heart of London. It can be a long journey off the streets, and it is not an easy path. We get to know every individual, so our approach can tailor to what they need. We do not do one size fits all, and we do not give up when things get tough. Working here means being open-minded, resilient, and pragmatic. It means being willing to go the extra mile and stick with people through thick and thin. It means being part of a team who cares about the individuals we support, and who are creative about finding better ways to help them.
Together with our donors, volunteers, and partners, we are a supportive and vibrant community who are determined to make a real difference. We believe that no one should have to sleep rough on London’s streets and that everyone should get the support they need to find a place to call home.
Our culture and values
Trusting relationships are at the heart of everything we do, with our clients and our colleagues. It is vital that the way we work provides the conditions to facilitate these relationships. We have agreed 4 core cultural traits which guide our day to day behaviour at The Connection. These are Curious, Safe, Together and Motivated.
Equality, diversity and inclusion policy
London’s diversity is its biggest asset and we strive to ensure our workforce reflects London’s diversity at all levels. We welcome applications from everyone regardless of age, gender, gender identity, gender expression, ethnicity, sexual orientation, faith or disability.
We particularly encourage applications from candidates with lived experience of homelessness who we believe are an essential asset in our sector.
We are committed to being an inclusive employer and welcome the opportunity to consider flexible working arrangements.
