About Us
Why do we exist?
Justlife is in existence because we know thousands of people struggle to manage in poor and unsuitable temporary accommodation.

We aim to grow our impact and reach, supporting more people in temporary accommodation and to build a movement that brings about lasting positive change.
Why work for us?
Here at Justlife, we're committed to equality, diversity and inclusion. We want to be an organisation that's representative of the communities we serve, which is why we strive for diversity of age, gender identity, sexual orientation, physical or mental ability, ethnicity and perspective.

About this role:
