NOAH is a charity which exists to create a fairer and more equitable society, where the immense value and potential of people experiencing poverty and disadvantage is realised. We prevent and relieve homelessness, specialising in supporting people facing multiple disadvantage.

A strong record of building and maintaining fruitful stakeholder relationships based on trust is crucial to realising our organisational goals. Excellent understanding of safeguarding legislation and best practice, as well as knowledge of the migrant support landscape and legislation, will be instrumental in our continued success.
