Crisis is the national charity for people experiencing homelessness. We have embarked on our 10-year strategy for ending homelessness. We know it is not inevitable. We know together we can end it.
This is a unique opportunity to join Crisis’ Impact, Research and Practice Team and contribute to the growth of Built for Zero UK, a pioneering movement to end homelessness. Working alongside local authorities and partner organisations, Built for Zero uses data, collaboration and systems change approaches to transform local homelessness responses. The programme empowers communities to identify barriers, test solutions and deliver measurable, lasting reductions in homelessness, with the ultimate goal of ensuring homelessness is rare, brief and non-recurring.
Location: From any Crisis Skylight in the UK - Working from home is an option in line with Crisis’ hybrid working policy, with the expectation for regular travel across the UK
About The Role
We are looking for an experienced individual who is passionate about driving data and evidence-led change to improve outcomes for people experiencing homelessness. This is an exciting opportunity to join Built for Zero at a pivotal stage of its development and play a key role in embedding and scaling the approach across the UK. The role requires excellent coaching, facilitation and influencing skills, with the ability to bring together diverse stakeholders around a shared goal, navigate complexity and competing priorities, and support communities to identify and overcome systemic barriers. The successful candidate will inspire confidence, resilience and continuous improvement, creating the conditions for lasting systems change.
About You
To be successful in this role you will have:
- Demonstrable experience of supporting and delivering systems change through partnership working, relationship building and collaboration, with the ability to convene diverse stakeholders around a shared purpose and drive collective action towards measurable outcomes.
- Ability to identify barriers to progress, navigate complex challenges and facilitate constructive problem-solving, balancing support and challenge while maintaining positive, trusting and productive relationships.
- Experience of working within, or a strong understanding of, local authority environments and the challenges of delivering sustainable change in complex systems, together with the ability to influence and work effectively across organisational and professional boundaries.
- Strong project and improvement management skills, with experience of working in iterative, agile and data-informed ways to support continuous learning, adaptation and delivery of outcomes.
