Our vision is for every church in the Portsmouth area to provide a home for 
people who’ve been homeless. We dream of ending homelessness by partnering

who’ve been homeless, as well as providing a safe, stable place to live.

• Overall: our vision is to see each individual and family thrive in our 
homes, and to see more local churches wanting to “house the homeless.”
• Develop and equip the team to ensure tenants thrive in safe, supportive 
environments. We currently have 6 staff.
• Work with local churches so that their friendship & support teams are 
empowered, equipped, and prayerful; promote the charity so that new 
ones want to get involved.
• Ensure current investors feel engaged and valued; and promote the 
charity so that new ones come on board.
• Ensure that the charity has the highest safeguarding, property and quality 
standards, liaising with national and regional Hope into Action teams.

Essential attributes required:
• Proven experience in managing programs and teams with compassion and 
professionalism.
• Exceptional organisational and communication skills to inspire tenants, 
churches, and stakeholders.
• A heart for vulnerable adults and a deep understanding of homelessness 
issues.
• A resourceful, emotionally intelligent, prayerful leader with a strong
