Habitat for Humanity Great Britain (Habitat GB) is part of the international Habitat for Humanity network. We tackle housing poverty around the world by working in partnership with communities and families to achieve their dreams of a safe and decent place to live.
“Home Equals” is a five-year global advocacy campaign, recently launched by Habitat for Humanity International and dedicated to achieving policy change, at all levels, to ensure that people living in informal settlements especially in the Global South have equitable access to adequate housing.

· Leadership and Management: Manage, motivate and mentor UK Housing Advocacy Manager, with regular 1-2-1s, setting individual objectives, giving and receiving feedback, progressing people and plans. Role model our values in line with Habitat GB’s inclusive approach to people and culture.
These responsibilities outline the multifaceted nature of the Head of Advocacy role, highlighting the importance of strategic planning, relationship building, political engagement, and impact evaluation in advancing Habitat GB's advocacy objectives related to housing and poverty reduction.
