The fascinating history of United St Saviour’s is one of continual change and modernisation to meet the needs of the people of Southwark. Although nowadays we are a thoroughly modern and influential charity, we are very proud of our roots and background, which stretch as far back as 1541.

Today United St Saviour’s is a charity that still continues to support the people and communities of Southwark using a multi-disciplinary and place-based approach.

Through our community investment and grant-making programmes, we help communities tackle social inequality by investing in people and organisations that offer both proven and innovative ways of solving problems, and connecting organisations and initiatives to create a thriving community ecosystem.

The charity also provides exceptional social housing for older people in our almshouses, creating strong and supportive communities in beautiful surroundings. We champion good design, great services and joyful inner-city living for the older population, so that older people are recognised for their value to society, and have the ability to lead independent lives for as long as possible.

The role of Head of Community Investments is central to our work supporting and empowering the voluntary and community sector in Southwark, building relationships at all levels and tackling social issues caused by inequality. We are driven to explore new ways of making a difference, by investing our funds and resources in novel ways which enable our communities to control their own potential. This relational and partnership-based approach is crucial to our grant making, and we are looking for someone whose personality and ways of working forms a natural fit.

We are a small charity, with an ambitious vision and a strong asset base. You will enjoy working as part of a small multi-disciplinary team where we support each other, whether dealing with building issues or talking to residents in our almshouses. We are looking for someone who is keen to get under the skin of what is going on at grassroots level, listening to underrepresented voices, intellectually curious to explore and implement new ways of doing things, and impassioned to influence others, particularly those in positions of authority.
