Job description

Help4Homeless is looking for experienced professionals to join our Governance Committee and help guide the strategic direction of our youth-led charity.

This is a genuinely low-commitment opportunity focused entirely on governance and strategic oversight. There are no operational duties, fundraising targets, or delivery responsibilities, just informed decision-making and supporting the long-term development of the organisation.

We value practical thinking, good judgement, and people who care about making a meaningful difference in the lives of people experiencing homelessness.

What you’ll do

  • Attend one short monthly governance meeting (online or occasionally in person)
  • Contribute to strategic discussions and organisational planning
  • Offer professional insight within your area of expertise
  • Support good governance, accountability, and decision-making
  • Review occasional documents or policies before meetings

We’re looking for

  • Professionals with experience in business, finance, legal, operations, HR, safeguarding, governance, or leadership
  • People who care about homelessness and social impact
  • Strong judgement and collaborative thinking
  • Previous charity or board experience is welcome but not essential
  • Connections to Peterborough or the surrounding area are a bonus

Time commitment

  • One monthly meeting (around 1 hour)
  • Approximately 10 minutes of reading beforehand
  • Optional annual strategy session (2 hours, lunch included)

Why join us

  • Use your professional skills to support meaningful community impact
  • Gain experience in charity governance and strategic leadership
  • Help shape the future direction of a growing organisation
  • Collaborate with passionate and community-minded professionals
