The House of St Barnabas (HoSB) is a charity pledging to break the cycle of homelessness. We run a social business, our members’ club in our Grade I listed home on Soho Square to help people prosper through paid employment, allowing them to break their cycle of homelessness.

Are you looking to utilise your experience in financial administration and management to support a small but thriving charity? The Florence Nightingale Museum is looking for a part-time Finance Manager to support our developing charitable business.
