Homeless Link are seeking a Head of Fundraising to develop our fundraising strategy and support us to achieve our goals by securing sustainable funding.

Homeless Link is the national membership charity for frontline homelessness services. We work to improve services through research, guidance and learning, and campaign for policy change that will ensure everyone has a place to call home and the support they need to keep it.

We need someone who shares our values of having Ambition, Boldness, Curiosity, Diversity and Empowerment to drive forward our fundraising strategy and ensure that as a membership body we are at the forefront of ensuring valuable resources continue to strengthen and develop the sector.
