Centre for Homelessness Impact
Remote (Home Based)
Shape the Centre’s implementation and design strategy, and help develop our groundbreaking evidence tools to build and improve the sector’s understanding of what works.
Salary: £31,000 to £37,000 (pro rata if part time), depending on experience and location.
Location: As a UK wide team we welcome applicants from anywhere in the UK. Both full time and part time considered.
IN A NUTSHELL:
You will be part of the small and ambitious team at the Centre for Homelessness Impact, overseeing and delivering services and products that support the sector to use data and evidence to end homelessness.
WHY IS THIS ROLE IMPORTANT FOR THE CENTRE’S WORK
The Centre has three strategic priorities: filling the gaps in evidence and making it accessible; supporting evidence and data to be applied in practice; and mobilising a learning culture across the field. As the Centre’s Implementation and Product Lead, you will work across all three areas, helping the team to learn about the people who we serve (our core users are policy-makers, service commissioners, funders and practitioners in the field of homelessness and beyond) and making sure we design and build effective, accessible and user-centric products and services.
We are a What Works Centre that works with a startup spirit, and as a small team we strive to work in an open, collaborative, and optimistic way. The ideal team member would be someone who is comfortable hosting a user-testing session one day, facilitating a workshop with a local authority another day and working with a developer to build a new feature for our evidence tools on another.
The Centre of Homelessness Impact values both rigorous science and human-centred design, meaning we seek to combine great user experience with solid evidence throughout all of our work. As well as drawing on the expertise within our team, we collaborate with best-in-class partners such as IDEO, Johns Hopkins University, the Campbell Collaboration and the Behavioural Insights Team.
You will be responsible for:
Developing, operating and continually improving our evidence tools
Representing the voice of our users (i.e. policy-makers, service commissioners, funders and practitioners) on behalf of the team, and translating insights into opportunities for improvements to our products, programmes and overall offer to the field of homelessness
Planning, delivering and facilitating workshops with users, stakeholders and partners
Working with the Centre’s associates, freelance network and knowledge partners to bring in specialist expertise to support our work
Helping shape the Centre’s approach to implementation by anticipating the needs of our users
Collaborating with other What Works Centres to find opportunities to amplify our impact across policy fields
Your experience and skills:
You have 3-5 years of experience in a design-based role.
You have excellent project management skills, know when to challenge, when to listen, and when to lead. You'll be able to build relationships and juggle users, clients, sector leaders and the Centre’s partners. Above all, you get stuff done.
You’re a big picture thinker. You see opportunities where others see barriers, and you can confidently and optimistically articulate these opportunities to stakeholders and decision-makers.
You have a proven track record of delivering user-oriented solutions. You are passionate about uncovering user needs, identifying opportunities and translating them into products, services or programmes that meet those needs effectively.
You have experience delivering digital products or services, partnering with developers and designers, and leading product prioritisation and delivery of user-facing functionality. You are technically minded, and comfortable in technical conversations.
You think laterally, take inspiration from broad sources beyond the sectors you work in and approach the development of new solutions creatively.
You believe in the importance of using data and insights in decision-making.
NICE TO HAVE:
Expertise in visual design skills, including wireframing
Expertise in prototyping
Expertise in implementation science

Jangala is a not-for-profit start-up, with a goal to develop the technologies needed to support people displaced and impacted by climate emergency and underdevelopment. We are a UK registered charity based in London.
Our first product, Big Box, is a unique rugged expandable Wi-Fi system that can connect tens to thousands of people. Big Box prototypes have helped over 30 organisations working with refugees in humanitarian crises and remote schools and healthcare clinics gain vital access to the internet. In 2020, Jangala is looking to bring Big Box to market and begin scaling up to meet the large global demand for project connectivity. In addition, this year, we will begin work on new products in renewable energy and edge computing designed specifically to meet needs in the humanitarian sector.
Jangala's work has featured in Wired Magazine and Positive News. Jangala won the TIP TEAC Special Award in 2018 and the AbilityNet Tech4Good Award Africa 2019. You can learn more about us at www.janga.la .
To help Jangala achieve its ambitious goals, we are looking to hire a Software Engineering Lead (SEL). This will be a senior role: working closely with the CTO to develop software architecture and design patterns and, as Jangala readies to scale, helping to build a software team. Given our current small size, the SEL will be expected to be able to represent Jangala in meetings with partners and at public events.
The ideal candidate will have a demonstrable record - long or short - of writing high-quality code in collaboration with others. You must be able to show an ability to create elegant and flexible abstractions and implement them using readable, well-structured code. Jangala’s work spans embedded hardware, network and systems programming and the web, and you should be comfortable in each of these domains. The ability to work as part of a team, and show leadership and direction, is essential.
We use technologies including Go, Vue.js, Docker, AWS, Pub/Sub, Linux and OpenWRT; and in the future Rust and SDR. Familiarity is desirable but not essential.
In return, you will join a small, exciting and growing organisation with a solid track record and great ambitions. Your day-to-day work will positively impact the lives of many of the people most in need of assistance. In the future, as Jangala grows, you will help build a team focused on developing exciting products and technologies aiding climate change mitigation and adaptation.
To apply, please send a CV and cover letter to info@janga.la with the subject line: ‘Software Engineering Lead application/Your name.’ We’re looking for someone who can fulfil the ambitious technical expectations of the role and is motivated to help address some of the most critical challenges facing the humanitarian sector - explain why you’re a good fit!
