Job roles

Our vision is a future where no one has to sleep on the streets of London.

We hire team-oriented, compassionate and smart people. A core team of staff members are involved in casework, development and the operational side of the charity. In winter, Glass Door hires additional staff to ensure the shelters are run safely and efficiently.

Also, please review our list of volunteer roles.

Staff roles we are recruiting for right now include:
