If you have a passion for administration, addressing homelessness, and the church, you may be the ideal candidate for the role of Hope into Action Norwich Operations and Office Administrator.
About the role
This position, within a vibrant and expanding organisation, focuses on the operational management and administration of the Norwich project. You will assist the team and partner churches to work with those that may be vulnerable to or have experienced homelessness.
You will also manage the maintenance of our homes and regularly visit properties to ensure that standards are maintained.
About you
You will be passionate about our work with the homeless and share our values. You will be able to work with church leaders and church members alike. You will need to be able to work with tenants with support needs, from a wide range of backgrounds.
We value good listening skills. The ability to work in a flexible team and learn new skills is important as we foster working within a strong supportive team. We are constantly looking to expand and open new homes in the city to serve the homeless. There may therefore be potential to increase your hours over time.
Possession of a full UK driving license, access to a vehicle, and the willingness to travel to various locations are essential.
As a key role within Hope into Action you must demonstrate your sympathy with the Christian faith and the mission and values of the organisation.
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.
In Norwich we are at the forefront of providing excellent quality supported accommodation to those that need it most in our county. We currently have thirteen properties in Norwich and surrounding towns, with more in the pipeline.
Across the network we provide not just shelter and housing know-how, but also the friendship of a church. Together with over 100 churches, we 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. 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, refugees, those suffering mental health issues and survivors of human trafficking.
We are now partnering with churches across the country. 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.

This presents an exciting opportunity to contribute to the incredible efforts of churches throughout the city in providing housing and support to those in greatest need. For details, please refer to the job description and fill out the application form.
