About Emmaus

Emmaus is a homelessness charity helping formerly homeless people to rebuild their lives and regain lost self-esteem by providing them with a safe place to call home and meaningful work in one of our social enterprises. We understand that a home is more than just a roof over your head; it’s somewhere to belong, where you feel part of a community, and that’s what Emmaus offers.

Good communications will be a big part of getting communities back on track.

The role is full time (37.5 hours per week) with hours and days to be agreed. Depending on your location, the role can be based in our Birmingham office or at home by arrangement. Occasional travel to Emmaus communities and other locations will be required once we consider it safe to do so.

If you have great communication skills, lots of creative ideas, a positive “can do” attitude and a passion for what you do, we want to hear from you.
