Community engagement lead jobs

About More Than A Roof:

More Than A Roof is a charity dedicated to empowering individuals and families experiencing homelessness. Our vision is a world where everyone has a secure home, and no one needs to stay in temporary accommodation to avoid homelessness. We work alongside vulnerable people in temporary accommodation to improve their lives and communities, unlock their potential, and open new possibilities. We provide practical and emotional support and stability, aiming to make any stay in temporary accommodation short, rare, and non-recurring. We work in close partnership with organisations like The Housing Network, Community Shop and a large number of Local Authorities.

The Role:

The CEO will be responsible for leading the strategic growth, fundraising, and external engagement of More Than a Roof. This role will focus on developing and communicating the charity’s mission, building strong partnerships, and securing funding to expand our impact across the UK.

The CEO will act as the external face of More Than a Roof, engaging supporters, funders, and strategic stakeholders to raise awareness and increase income. While the charity exists to support individuals & families experiencing homelessness, delivery of frontline services and direct engagement with residents is undertaken by our partner organisations, such as The Housing Network.

• Actively support the charity's social media presence and engagement.
• Play a key role in fundraising activities, demonstrating a proactive approach and a proven track record of successful fundraising initiatives.
• Regularly report to and support the Board of Trustees, providing updates on beneficiary progress and charitable activities.

 About You:

We are looking for an exceptional individual who is passionate about making a tangible difference in the lives of people experiencing homelessness. You will be a self-starter with a proactive approach, comfortable working independently as the charity's first paid employee.

• Proficiency in using IT for record-keeping, communication, and social media.

 Desirable Attributes:

• Experience working with diverse client groups including families, individuals over 18, and prison leavers.

Qualifications:

No specific formal qualifications are required for this role, however, this is not an entry-level position for someone stepping into their first charity job.

Who we are

The University of London is a leading UK provider of distance and digital education internationally, offering programmes to 45,000 students in 190 countries around the world. Although proudly rooted in London, our community and impact are global.
