Marketing communications manager jobs
Our vision is for every church in the Portsmouth area to provide a home for
people who’ve been homeless. We dream of ending homelessness by partnering
with local churches to grow positive, prayerful support networks around people
who’ve been homeless, as well as providing a safe, stable place to live.
Right now, in and around Portsmouth, we have 11 houses, with 28 tenants being
befriended and loved by 8 churches – all set up since 2018. And we’re not
stopping there, with more churches and areas looking to join us.
When we provide people with a safe home, professional support and the security
of positive relationships, this helps them find the confidence, motivation and
hope for change. Then we are able to support them in moving on to their own
secure accommodation.
The Franchise Lead is key to keeping our growing organisation strong and
Christian, partnering with churches to show God’s love to tenants no matter
what they are facing. We want to grow without ever losing the quality of support
that we offer to our tenants. Are you up for this exciting challenge?
Key aspects of the role include:
• Overall: our vision is to see each individual and family thrive in our
homes, and to see more local churches wanting to “house the homeless.”
• Develop and equip the team to ensure tenants thrive in safe, supportive
environments. We currently have 6 staff.
• Work with local churches so that their friendship & support teams are
empowered, equipped, and prayerful; promote the charity so that new
ones want to get involved.
• Ensure current investors feel engaged and valued; and promote the
charity so that new ones come on board.
• Ensure that the charity has the highest safeguarding, property and quality
standards, liaising with national and regional Hope into Action teams.
Essential attributes required:
• Proven experience in managing programs and teams with compassion and
professionalism.
• Exceptional organisational and communication skills to inspire tenants,
churches, and stakeholders.
• A heart for vulnerable adults and a deep understanding of homelessness
issues.
• A resourceful, emotionally intelligent, prayerful leader with a strong
Christian faith.
This post is subject to an occupational requirement that the holder be a Christian
under Part 1 of Schedule 9 to the Equality Act 2010.
