Local Coordinator - Community Connect Peterborough

Hope into Action UK • Part-time • Peterborough or hybrid, Cambridgeshire, United Kingdom • £20.93k / year • 21h ago

Are you passionate about how the church can prevent homelessness?

Could you help Hope into Action Norwich launch an exciting new initiative?

About the role

Our mission at Hope into Action is to empower the local church to help end homelessness. For over 15 years we’ve developed our model and grown a network in 38 locations. We know that homelessness is more than just house-lessness: people need community and friendship, as well as accommodation.

Our Community Connect pilot project has a big vision: to extend our church-based friendship and support to those at risk of homelessness. The project will complement Hope into Action’s core model of supported housing and aligns directly with the government's strategic emphasis on community-based support to prevent homelessness.

You will be instrumental in setting up and delivering the ‘Community Connect’ pilot in Norwich, working closely with the National Lead to build partnerships with local authorities, churches and agencies to connect those in need of support, with newly recruited and trained volunteers.

There will be a budget to adhere to and goals to deliver, so experience of establishing a community project, managing volunteers and working to a budget will all be beneficial.

About you

You will be passionate about our work to empower the church to address homelessness and you share our values. You will be able to work with members of the public, professional bodies and churches. You will be able to work with people with support needs from a wide range of backgrounds.

Whilst offering charismatic local leadership for Community Connect across Peterborough, you will be an integral part of the local, existing Hope into Action team and be managed by the City Lead, Maria Seaman. We want to ensure this new project dovetails well with our core delivery of Supported Housing.

We love diversity and we value your unique skills, strengths, knowledge, and experience. We hope that joining our team will help you realise your potential and help us to raise our performance in empowering those we serve.

Please contact Sonja Campbell-Scott at sonja.campbell-scott@hopeintoaction.org.uk for an informal discussion about this role.

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 16 homes each serving different demographics and strong relationships with other ministries and local authorities. It’s natural it is one of our initial locations for Community Connect and we’re delighted to be working with Light Project Peterborough on this venture.

The tragedy of homelessness is in every community. We believe that with our help, every church can do something about it.
