Become a trustee
We are looking for enthusiastic, dedicated and skilled people to join our board of trustees to help us tackle homelessness in our community and guide the development of the charity.
Our trustees take overall responsibility for the strategic direction of the charity and its ability to fulfil its mission to reduce homelessness, and the harms of homelessness. We need people with a wide range of professional skills and applicants should have a strong belief in, and attraction to, our cause. Because of the nature and context of the role, there is a requirement that the role-holder must be a Christian. Find out more about our faith foundation here.
We are particularly seeking trustees that have experience in the following areas but if you you have experience in other areas we would still like to hear from you.
- Fundraising and marketing
- Statutory sector experience
- Homelessness and housing
