About the role

According to Shelter, currently one in every 206 people in England are without a home. We believe the church is ideally placed to be at the forefront of addressing this critical need. Our mission at Hope into Action is to enable the local church to house the homeless and we’re looking for a Team Lead to strengthen and guide our team in Peterborough.

Hours are negotiable but will either be 4 or 5 days a week (32 or 40 hours). You will be based in the Hope into Action Hope Centre working alongside the Peterborough team and rest of Support Centre.

You will lead the current team of 6 staff to provide temporary, supported accommodation to over 40 men, women and children across 17 homes in Peterborough. 

Whilst managing the team in the daily tasks you will also work to strengthen relationships with external agencies, local authorities and agree a strategic vision for the future of the project in line with your line manager (Head of Delivery & Training). There will be a budget to adhere to and goals set in terms of void expectation and tenant finances, additionally every member of the team has annual objectives which seek to give clarity and motivation to their role. 

Each home is partnered with a local church who provide love and friendship for the tenants that you will also support. A part of the Team Lead’s role is to actively engage with the church and empower your team to do likewise. The role includes training, equipping, and encouraging staff to extol professional excellence and spiritual passion whilst also supporting church volunteers in their role as befrienders to the tenants. 

Our tenants will have experienced homelessness and present with a variety of support needs. You, your team and your church partners will work together to empower every individual tenant to reach their full potential, take responsibility and step bolder into a brighter future where they’re confident and able to advocate for themselves and ensure they live the life they deserve.

About you

You will be passionate about our work with the homeless and share our values. You will be able to work with members of the public, professional bodies and churches. You will need to be able to work with tenants with support needs, from a wide range of backgrounds. 

Whilst offering charismatic and clear leadership for the team, you will also nurture and develop every individual team member, adapting your management approach when needed to get the best out of them all.

We love diversity and we value your unique skills, strengths, knowledge, and experience. Becoming one of our team may realise your potential, helping us to raise our performance in empowering those we serve.

About us

Peterborough was where Hope into Action began back in 2011. We are at the forefront of providing excellent quality supported accommodation to those that need it most in the city. Partnering with 11 churches, we currently have 17 homes each serving different demographics. 

We provide not just shelter and housing but also the friendship and community of a church. Together with 100 churches, Hope into Action UK provide direct support to people whom others have often given up on. Our first home had a real heart for men coming out of prison, but 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.

We encourage others to use our model by franchising the idea. Our vision is for every church to lovingly provide the homeless with a home. The tragedy of homelessness is in every community. We believe that with our help, every church can do something about it.

About Kids for Kids

Kids for Kids is the only charity founded specifically to help children in one of the most challenging regions of the world, Darfur, Sudan. For the past 24 years we have been transforming the lives of whole communities through a unique package of integrated projects, working closely with the villagers themselves. Since 2001 we have adopted 110 villages transforming the lives of over half a million people. Despite ongoing violence we are still the only organisation delivering aid to remote communities thanks to volunteers in Darfur.  

What we are looking for

This is a key position as it will be your responsibility to ensure the smooth-running of the charity, enabling us to support even more children and their families. You will be the righthand person for our Founder/Chairman, CEO, and Deputy CEO. You will be in touch with supporters across the world. You will assist with drafting documents and correspondence with our supporters. You will be responsible for data entry and help us to migrate to a CRM system in the coming months. Event planning and coordinating with the rest of the team will be part of your brief, as will organising talks across the country to help raise awareness of our unique sustainable projects. You will be experienced with spreadsheets and with mailings, including the use of Reports from our current Access database. 2

Your efficiency in keeping accurate records and communicating effectively with our supporters will contribute directly to the extent in which we can help in Darfur. The administrative team is small, so your position is hugely important. You must have a keen eye for detail and love administrative tasks. Accuracy is essential. Because we all work from our own homes it is important that you are a good communicator, sharing our team spirit and ethos.

This is an immensely rewarding position, requiring someone who has a can-do attitude, is hardworking, efficient, has excellent attention to detail, can work in a fast-paced environment and is good at managing your own time. You will interact with our donors and Patrons as part of the public face of Kids for Kids, but most of all you will be as determined as we are to make a lasting difference to children’s lives.
