Working closely with the Board of Trustees, you’ll provide strategic leadership while overseeing the day-to-day management of the charity. You’ll lead the development of our future strategy, strengthen our retail operation, build partnerships with funders and stakeholders, and help develop a financially sustainable organisation that can support more people rebuilding their lives after homelessness.

We’re looking for an inspiring and collaborative leader with senior leadership experience, strong commercial and financial awareness, and the ability to build effective partnerships.
