Founded in 1955, the Society works to improve and diffuse knowledge of the life, work and influence of William Morris.

With something for everyone, we are a diverse membership – from across the UK and further afield.

In the next year, we plan to expand our offer further, establishing Mental Health First Aider training, a buddy system for new team members, and burnout training. We want to foster a resilient and well-supported team and encourage all employees to actively participate in continuous improvement in this endeavour.

 A flexible approach

HFHGB is seeking to rapidly scale up its activities and impact to fight poverty across the world.

You are welcome to get in touch and arrange an informal chat with a member of the team before submitting an application. To apply for the role, please send us your CV and a cover letter telling us about yourself and your motivation for applying – we don’t expect this to be more than two sides of A4. 

We’d prefer to hear directly from applicants – we won’t be working with third party recruiters on this role. 

This post profile is not set in stone It gives insight into the main purpose of the role, and expected responsibilities, but it might be reviewed in the future to meet the changing requirements of Habitat for Humanity GB – any changes will be made in discussion with the post-holder.  

Habitat for Humanity requires that all employees take seriously their ethical responsibilities to safeguard our intended beneficiaries, their communities, and all those with whom we work.  Managers at all levels have responsibilities to support and develop systems that create and maintain an environment that prevents harassment, sexual exploitation and abuse, safeguards the rights of beneficiaries and community members (especially children), and promotes the implementation of our code of conduct.

At Habitat for Humanity GB, we aim to build, develop and retain a talented workforce that represents a variety of backgrounds, skills and experiences. We welcome and actively encourage applications from anyone who feels they’d be a good fit for our organisation, regardless of race, religion, colour, age, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, neurodiversity or any other protected characteristic
