About you
We are looking for a self-motivated person with a passion for our work, tenants, staff, churches and mission. You will be adaptable and equally comfortable with bank reconciliations as writing a commentary on the management accounts. We employ people of hope where humility, a genuine desire to love and serve others, and strength of character are as important as any job description. This is reflected in our six core values: strength, hope, action, love, open ears (listening) and mutuality, or “Shalom” as we sometimes call them.

We believe that everyone has the right to a home and churches have the power to meet the tragedy of homelessness in their community.
Starting 15 years ago, we have grown into a mature organisation working with over 100 churches running 126 homes for over 400 tenants.
We have won numerous awards both secular and Christian including from the Guardian newspaper, Homeless Link and Centre for Social Justice.
We provide not just shelter and housing know-how, but also the friendship of a church, we are passionate about harnessing the social, financial and spiritual power of churches to enact real change both in them and our tenants.
Our first home had a real heart for men coming out of prison. Homes are now available for a wide range of people experiencing homelessness: people in recovery from addiction, people sleeping rough, women and children fleeing domestic violence, people coming out of rehab, former prostitutes, refugees, those suffering mental health issues and survivors of human trafficking.
Roughly, 50% of our homes are in our ‘line-managed cities’ (Peterborough, Norwich, Nottingham, Cambridge), the other 50% are found across a further 30+ towns which we franchise into.
We encourage others to replicate our model through franchising. The tragedy of homelessness is in every community. Our vision is for every church to lovingly provide the homeless with a home.
Working at Hope into Action can be incredibly rewarding. We offer the opportunity to work in a supportive and flexible environment.
