About Ciara Devlin

20+ years’ experience of working within the third sector, primarily in homelessness and mainly focused around programme management and business development. I am an experienced, commercially savvy project and programme manager with a range of knowledge around driving and leading different types of strategic and innovative partnerships and programmes of work. I have led a multitude of programmes from steering the set up and design of new homelessness services across England for Crisis, to overseeing the publication of an evidence based plan to end homelessness in Great Britain, to more recently leading a long term strategic partnership with Newcastle City Council with the aim of ending homelessness in the city within 10 years.I am a strong collaborator and thrive on building relationships to connect and bring people together to deliver work and achieve success. I have strong stakeholder & people management skills and am an experienced facilitator.
