London City Mission Jobs

Who London City Mission Are

London City Mission (LCM) is an evangelical Christian mission charity that works alongside local churches across London to share the Christian gospel with people it describes as "on the margins" of society. Its core purpose is spiritual rather than a housing or homelessness service: LCM trains and equips churches, and places missionaries who build relationships with groups including young people, older people, people from Muslim and other faith backgrounds, and people who are homeless or otherwise marginalised. It is important to be clear that LCM's overall work is broader than homelessness support, with homeless and marginalised people being one of several focus groups alongside young people, seniors and estate communities.

Homelessness and Resettlement-Related Work

• Webber Street Day Centre, where guests receive a warm breakfast, a shower and practical support to help them take the next step out of homelessness, alongside the Christian message shared by staff and volunteers from local churches
• Prisons ministry, in which specialist missionaries build relationships with prisoners and support people as they leave prison and resettle, connecting them with a supportive church community
• Outreach to vulnerable women, including women in hostels who have experienced abuse, addiction or exploitation, connecting them to practical support alongside pastoral care

These services sit within LCM's wider evangelistic mission, so a housing or resettlement worker joining LCM should expect the role to combine practical support with the charity's explicit Christian purpose and its partnership approach with local churches.

Working at London City Mission

Roles connected to this side of LCM's work include day centre staff and volunteer coordinators at Webber Street, prison and resettlement missionaries, and outreach workers supporting vulnerable women. LCM missionaries and staff are expected to share the organisation's Christian faith commitment, and roles typically combine frontline practical support with relationship-building, discipleship and partnership work with local church congregations across London.
