About Us
The Square Mile is the historic centre of London and is home to the ‘City’ – the financial and commercial heart of the UK. Our reach extends far beyond the Square Mile’s boundaries and across private, public and charitable and community sector responsibilities. This, along with our independent and non-party political voice and convening power, enables us to promote the interests of people and organisations across London and the UK and lay a valued role on the word-stage.
Individuals who rough sleep face many challenges in accessing the support they need to change their personal situation. In order to achieve this aim we think it’s essential to deliver specialised homelessness services to those that rough sleep in the square mile, so that individuals can safely and quick move away from the streets and get the ongoing support to not return to rough sleeping.
The City of London Corporation (CoL) is seeking to recruit two Rough Sleeping Coordinator’s to complement its existing Homelessness, Prevention & Rough Sleeping Service. The Rough Sleeping Coordinator role is a key and well-established role that plays an instrumental role in the City’s ability to deliver high performing and impactive rough sleeping services to those rough sleeping in the City and beyond. This post provides opportunity for an experienced professional to be part of a small and high achieving team of rough sleeping specialists, and to influence and deliver the CoL’s Homelessness & Rough Sleeping Strategy.
The successful candidate will work closely with the Rough Sleeping Services Manager to shape and develop several newly commissioned services funded through continued grant funds from the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG). The successful candidate will be experienced, confident and well organised. The candidate will have excellent communication skills (both written and verbal), possess an unflappable approach to competing demands and have a proven history in managing complex issues and stakeholder relationships.
The postholder will take into account the account the cross-government Rough Sleeping Strategy once announced, as well as the CoL Homelessness & Rough Sleeping Strategy as reference points for developing new and improved routes into and through CoL’s commissioned and non-commissioned homelessness services. The post holder will be confident engaging in conversations with leaders from local and central government, health, enforcement and homelessness sectors.
The City of London Corporation values the rich diversity and creative potential people with diverse backgrounds, skills and abilities bring to the workplace. We are therefore committed to creating a working environment that is inclusive and treats all employees fairly and with dignity and respect.
