About you 

We are looking for a self-motivated person with a passion for our work, tenants, staff, churches and mission. You will be adaptable and equally comfortable with bank reconciliations as writing a commentary on the management accounts. We employ people of hope where humility, a genuine desire to love and serve others, and strength of character are as important as any job description.

We have won numerous awards both secular and Christian including from the Guardian newspaper, the Centre for social Justice and, most recently, the Homeless Link 2024 Excellence Award.

We provide not just shelter and housing know-how, but also the friendship of a church. We are passionate about harnessing the social, financial and spiritual power of churches to enact real change both in them and our tenants.

Our first investor had a real heart for a home for men coming out of prison. Homes are now available for a wide range of people experiencing homelessness: people in recovery from addiction; people sleeping rough; women and children fleeing domestic violence; people coming out of rehab; former prostitutes; refugees; those suffering mental health issues and survivors of human trafficking. 

Roughly 50% of our homes are in our ‘Line-Managed Cities’ (Peterborough, Norwich, Nottingham, Cambridge). The other 50% are found across a further 30+ towns which we franchise out. We encourage others to replicate our model through franchising. The tragedy of homelessness is in every community. Our vision is for every church to lovingly provide the homeless with a home.

Working at Hope into Action UK can be incredibly rewarding. We offer the opportunity to work in a supportive and flexible environment.
