Do you want to work at the heart of an organisation which makes a real difference to people’s lives?
If you’d love a varied job where you’ll be supported to learn, innovate and work with people of all backgrounds then
this could be the job for you!
About the role
Our People Team drive change, make connections and improve processes which support our people to do jobs safely and
effectively, and thrive in their working lives.
We’re looking for a proactive, efficient individual to contribute across our People services, with particular focus
on:
Volunteering: Our volunteers are invaluable, so you’ll lead on driving a positive volunteer experience by supporting
our services to recruit, onboard and thank our volunteers.
Engagement: With more than 200 staff and 300 volunteers spread across 63 services at 14 sites, we have to think
creatively to ensure our people are engaged with our central initiatives! You’ll be responsible for creating
engaging events, staff surveys and content to ensure our staff feel part of Cyrenians, wherever they’re
based.
About you
You’ll bring creative communication skills and experience in engaging effectively with a broad range of colleagues
and volunteers. You will enjoy creating accessible, informative content and providing advice and practical
support which enables others to thrive in their own roles. Your efficient organisational skills will also be key
in managing your varied, busy workload.
Your most important attributes will be your proactive, flexible nature, alongside your ability to communicate
effectively and compassionately with everyone you come into contact with.
How we’ll support you
You’ll be part of an experienced, knowledgeable team, with a supportive manager, who will help you develop and grow
in your role. While volunteering and engagement will be your key responsibilities, we’ll empower you to learn
about other aspects of the team and wider organisation. You’ll also have access to wider Cyrenians support,
including our learning programme, and staff wellbeing services. This includes our varied cross-organisational
initiatives and groups such as Inclusion & Diversity, Trauma-informed Practice, and Sustainability.
About Cyrenians
At Cyrenians we tackle the causes and consequences of homelessness. We understand that there are many routes into
homelessness, and that there is no ‘one size fits all’ approach to supporting people towards more positive and
stable futures. That’s why all our work is values-led and relationships-based. Read more about our values
