Chair wanted to develop our small Homeless Charity. Our core mission is to feed and give informal support to homeless or low income people struggling to survive
We need a new Chair to take our small charity forward. Our current challenges are to professionalise the service by updating policies, expanding our social media presence, improving fundraising, streamlining volunteer recruitment and training and developing an advice service.
Our current Chair wishes to step down after 11 years and we need someone with organisational and management skills to replace her and coordinate the team
They need at least 3 years experience of strategic and operational management, ideally managing a volunteer team working with vulnerable clients. They will need to have service and policy development experience, knowledge of training methods, health & safety GDPR and the ability to build a cohesive team. Empathy and understanding of the needs of people who are homeless is a must. A background in advice and advocacy is desirable.
The person will be able to make a huge impact by bringing their professional skills to bear to improve the service and team up.
