Who we are.
Emmaus is a homelessness charity with a difference.
We don’t just provide a bed for the night; we offer a home, meaningful work, and a sense of belonging.
Founded in 1991, Emmaus now has 30 communities across the UK, with three more in development. We currently support over 850 people who have experienced homelessness, offering them a home for as long as they need it, along with work and training in our social enterprises. Our goal is to provide a home to 1,100 people by 2025.
About the role.

This role will focus on maximising the value of existing partnerships with corporate and trust & foundations partners. You will focus on winning new business and nurturing your team and helping them to create engaging and inspiring proposals for innovative projects.
This role will also work to establish a major donor-giving programme. There is great potential among corporate and trust & foundation supporters to make significant personal donations. Your task will be to establish a pipeline of supporters, and create compelling pitches to seize opportunities.
