Job Description

The Connection at St. Martins (CSTM) is based in the heart of London, near Charing Cross Station and Trafalgar Square. CSTM has been helping homeless people since the First World War and is one of London’s largest homelessness charities. We have an annual turnover of £4.9m, a staff team of 75 and around 50 regular volunteers. Alongside our own fundraising and some statutory work, the charity benefits from the BBC Radio 4 Christmas Appeal, run by our partners – the St. Martin’s Charity.

This is an exciting time to join the organisation in this role. We are developing a broad spectrum of social enterprise activity to include food and drink products developed in-house and sold wholesale; growing our gardening project into a fully-fledged gardening maintenance company; running pop-ups and developing a café prototype to be rolled out in the future; and much more.

Particular focus for this role will be on:

  • Working closely with the Enterprise Development lead to build business cases around new enterprise projects
  • Working with the Enterprise and Fundraising teams to develop products for sale online
  • Managing and optimising the online store
  • Working with the Art Group to design and deliver Christmas cards for sale online
  • Developing external distribution channels for enterprise products

This is an ideal role for someone who wants to work in a fast paced, cause-driven environment and get a diverse range of opportunities across social enterprise. You must be dynamic and energetic; combine entrepreneurial initiative with a detailed and strategic mind; have good practical skills and high computer literacy; and have the soft skills to build relationships with both colleagues and potential commercial partners.
