We are seeking a Trustee with experience and understanding around women’s rehabilitation and recovery needs, as we expand our work to support women in recovery.
About Hope and Vision Communities
Hope and Vision Communities provides supported, move-on accommodation in the Reading area for individuals who have successfully completed residential rehabilitation.
The charity was founded in 2020 by Tony Attwood, a former offender who broke free from the cycle of addiction, and the very judge who sentenced him, Peter Ross. Together, they recognized the urgent need for stable housing and a supportive community for men leaving addiction treatment. Having witnessed firsthand how many relapse at this critical stage, Tony developed a plan - one shaped by his own experiences and those of the men around him and who remain an integral part of the charity today.
What will you be doing?
As part of our three-year strategy, we are expanding our work to support women in recovery. We recognise that women’s support and accommodation requirements are different to those of men.

· Understanding of the unique challenges faced by women in recovery, particularly regarding domestic abuse, sexual violence, family relationships, motherhood / maternity and societal stigma.
· Understanding of the impact of trauma upon women, and a commitment to developing services that are trauma responsive.
· Passionate about championing the voices and needs of women in recovery, both within Hope and Vision and beyond.
· Commitment to co-production. A working understanding of how to embed it throughout all stages of service design and delivery.
· Commitment to Hope and Vision Communities’ mission and a passion for supporting people in recovery.
· Ability to provide strategic guidance and contribute to high-level decision-making.
· Good communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to engage constructively with other trustees and staff.
