St Mungo’s is at the forefront of efforts to tackle homelessness. At the heart of all of our services is our commitment to empowering individuals, to supporting people in their journey away from homelessness and to preventing homelessness in the future. With more than 1,500 staff and 1,000 volunteers, and support provided to more than 3,000 people on any given night, we are one of the largest homelessness charities in the UK and our services reach across London and the South and South West of England.

We believe that rough sleeping can be ended and our ambitious new five year strategy sets this as a target for us, and our work with partners, from now through to 2026.

We have now created the critical new role of Executive Director of Housing Services to support our strategic objectives by transforming our housing services from good to excellent. We are looking for someone with an excellent understanding of tenant and landlord services, who wants to build and lead a high performing team, ensure the highest standards are met, and promote and model diversity and inclusion across our housing services.

There will be the opportunity to support the growth of St Mungo’s Homes, our wholly owned housing management subsidiary. As managing director of St Mungo’s Homes, you will oversee this exciting development and the implementation of its business strategies.

As part of a collaborative Executive team, you will contribute to providing visible, inspiring and engaging leadership, direction and decision-making within St Mungo’s as a whole as we look to deliver our five year strategic plan.

If you believe you have the ambition and ability, are passionate about our mission and want to work innovatively to achieve tangible outcomes for our clients, then we would love to hear from you.

At St Mungo’s, diversity is essential to the success of our organisation and we actively encourage applications from a broad and deep range of backgrounds and experiences.  We have an active strategy to ensure that the racial diversity of our workforce is fully represented at our most senior levels.
