Our charity is ambitious and we’re scaling our projects and pioneering new approaches to have more social impact in 2026 and beyond. We are looking for a Director to lead this work, energise and empower our staff team, create and embed innovative approaches and ensure our services truly support people out of homelessness and onto a positive future.

We also have our major contracts in place until 2033/34.
So, there is space to think, innovate and plan. If you are looking for a role where you can bring your expertise and have the freedom, time and support to apply it, please read on and get in touch.
