Job Description

About Homeless Link

Homeless Link, incorporating Sitra, is the national membership body for agencies working with people experiencing homelessness across England. We work to make services better and campaign for policy change that will help end homelessness. In April 2016, Homeless Link merged with Sitra, the national membership body which supports agencies in the housing, support and health and social care sectors. Together, we represent around 850 organisations providing supported housing and homelessness services across England.

We believe we can end homelessness and ensure that everyone has a place to call home and the support to keep it.

About the role:

High quality research and evidence about homelessness enables us to be a credible voice for the sector, and to influence policy and practice for the better. We are interested in your research skills and experience. You don’t need to know the homeless sector inside out - we are looking for someone with the right set of skills, attitude and approach, and who is able to contribute to Homeless Link being the knowledge centre on homelessness.

The Research Officer post is a full time post based at our head office in London. The starting salary is £28,431 per annum, including inner London weighting, plus a generous package of benefits including 30 days annual leave, flexible working and a contributory pension scheme. Please note, it is our policy for new appointees to commence employment at the starting salary.

Finally, we are actively seeking to increase diversity within our organisation and would greatly welcome interest from people with direct experience of homelessness, from a black or minority ethnic background and/or with a disability.
