About The Connection
When you work for The Connection, you’re part of a life-changing team. We help people sleeping rough in the heart of London. It can be a long journey off the streets, and it’s not an easy path. We get to know every individual, so our approach can tailor to what they need. We don’t do one size fits all, and we don’t give up when things get tough.
Working here means being open-minded, resilient, and pragmatic. It means being willing to go the extra mile and stick with people through thick and thin. It means being part of a team who really care about the individuals we support, and who are creative about finding better ways to help them.
Together with our donors, volunteers, and partners, we are a supportive and vibrant community who are determined to make a real difference. We believe that no one should have to sleep rough on London’s streets, and that everyone should get the support they need to find a place to call home.
About the role
We are building something new and we want the women who understand this issue most to help us build it. DayLight is a new day centre that The Connection is creating for women experiencing homelessness and multiple disadvantage in London. It will be a safe, welcoming, women-only space in central London where women can access practical support, healthcare and a friendly face, somewhere that feels like a café not an institution. We know that the best services are built with the people they are designed for, not just for them. That is why we are looking for four Lived Experience Consultants, women who have been through homelessness and multiple disadvantage themselves, to work alongside us as we develop and deliver DayLight. This is a paid opportunity. Your knowledge and your time are valuable, and we will pay you fairly for them.
