Job Details

Whether you are looking for new career opportunity, or want to discuss a partnership opportunity, we are always looking to speak to people who share our mission and passion.

From frontline and outreach jobs working directly with people in need, to professional and administrative posts that support our services, we have life-changing roles to suit every career path.

We are proud to work with public sector agencies, private sector organisations, grant-makers and fellow charities, to develop and deliver services that meet the needs of both communities and commissioners. These services are delivered by a dedicated team of individuals.

Changing Lives delivers a wide range of services across England for the people in our communities who are most in need of help, working across our four pillars: Women’s Services; Employment; Housing and Homelessness and Recovery and Wellbeing. Within these areas, there is a huge variety of front-facing roles, working directly with the people who use our services, to help them overcome challenges and discover their potential. It can be very challenging work, but it can also be extremely rewarding. 

Some of our most popular roles include:

• Support worker
  Our support workers are the beating heart of Changing Lives. They work day-in and day-out with those who use our services offering practical and emotional support to help them stabilise their situation and develop the skills and they need to live safe, independent and fulfilling lives.
• Sessional worker
  Our sessional worker roles are similar to our support workers, but they work on a more flexible, temporary basis – so if you don’t want to commit to a regular working pattern, and prefer to pick up shifts that work for you, when they’re available, this role is for you.
• Project lead
  Our project leads are responsible for ensuring that our projects are having the greatest possible impact on those that use them and that staff are fully supported to deliver excellent service. Project leads manage everything from finance to staffing to training to health and safety – so really all aspects of our services, which can include accommodation units, recovery centres, women’s refuges and more.

Equality, diversity and inclusion

We are committed to make Changing Lives an inclusive organisation, which enables all of our employees and everyone who uses our services to reach their full potential, no matter their background. We are committed to equality, diversity and inclusion.
