About Cyrenians

At Cyrenians we tackle the causes and consequences of homelessness. We take a values-led and relationships-based approach to delivering our services because we understand that there is no ‘one size fits all’ approach to supporting people towards more positive and stable futures.

About the Relationships Team

Relationships are at the heart of everything we do at Cyrenians, with those we support and those who support us too.

About you

Like us, you’ll be relationships-based and values-led in all that you do. Your excellent organisational skills will keep you on track in a varied role, and your strong interpersonal skills will allow you to inspire all kinds of supporters who choose to tackle the causes and consequences of homelessness with us.

How we’ll support you
