Our commitment to diversity:
We acknowledge that people from certain backgrounds are under-represented in environmental and campaigning organisations and we’re committed to doing what we can to correct this.
One of our Anti Racism Plan objectives is to proactively achieve stronger representation of people of colour, particularly within leadership positions, and we have recently published ambitious race representation targets.
As part of our commitment to increasing representation of people from underrepresented communities in the environmental sector, we are piloting a Guaranteed Interview Scheme (GIS) as a new approach to make our recruitment more equitable.

Help launch a new initiative housing the homeless through the local church
Hope into Action is a national Christian charity enabling local churches to provide homes and support for people experiencing homelessness.
We are launching a new Hope into Action franchise in Milton Keynes, and are looking for a Location Lead to help establish and grow the project from the ground up.
Working with churches, volunteers, and the Hope into Action national team, you will help create homes where people can rebuild their lives within a supportive Christian community.
About the role
As Location Lead, you will provide local leadership and coordination for the Milton Keynes project.
At launch the project will involve one house supporting up to three tenants, working in partnership with our first partner church, New Life Church Milton Keynes.
You will help:
- Build partnerships with churches across Milton Keynes
- Support and encourage church volunteers
- Ensure safeguarding and governance standards are maintained
- Develop relationships with local agencies, supporters, and investors
- Lay the foundations for future houses and growth
You will work closely with Hope into Action UK advisors, who provide established policies, safeguarding frameworks, systems, and ongoing support.
This means you are not building a housing project from scratch - you are helping implement and grow an established national model locally.
About you
We are looking for someone who:
- Is motivated by their Christian faith and compassion for those experiencing homelessness
- Enjoys building relationships and connecting people around a shared vision
- Is organised, proactive, and comfortable coordinating people and systems
- Can work collaboratively with churches, volunteers, and community partners
- Has initiative and enjoys helping something new take shape
Experience in leadership, community work, housing, or charity management would be helpful, but we are equally interested in people with the right values, attitude, and relational skills.
A pioneering opportunity
This is an opportunity to help establish a project that could grow to support many more people across Milton Keynes in the years ahead.
As the project grows and additional houses are opened, hours and responsibilities are expected to increase accordingly.
For the right candidate this role could be combined with the Church & Tenant Empowerment Worker role (total hours to be agreed) which can be found on our website here..
To apply, please send your completed application form by 5pm, Friday 22nd May 2026
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.

Walk alongside people rebuilding their lives
Hope into Action is a national Christian charity that enables local churches to house people experiencing homelessness.
We are launching a new Hope into Action project in Milton Keynes, and are looking for a Church & Tenant Empowerment Worker to support tenants and church volunteers as the project begins.
This role focuses on relationship, encouragement, and practical support as people rebuild stability and independence.
About the role
At launch the project will involve one house with up to three tenants, supported by church volunteers and the Hope into Action network.
As Church & Tenant Empowerment Worker you will:

- Support church volunteers who build friendships with tenants
- Maintain simple casework records and communication with the team
You will be supported by:

About you
We are looking for someone who:
- Is motivated by their Christian faith
- Has compassion for people facing difficult life circumstances
- Builds trust easily and listens well
- Is organised and able to maintain clear boundaries
- Enjoys working collaboratively with volunteers and churches
Experience working with vulnerable adults, homelessness services, or community work would be helpful, but the most important qualities are empathy, resilience, and relational skills.
