Help launch a new initiative housing the homeless through the local church
Hope into Action is a national Christian charity enabling local churches to provide homes and support for people experiencing homelessness.
We are launching a new Hope into Action franchise in Milton Keynes, and are looking for a Location Lead to help establish and grow the project from the ground up.
Working with churches, volunteers, and the Hope into Action national team, you will help create homes where people can rebuild their lives within a supportive Christian community.
About the role
As Location Lead, you will provide local leadership and coordination for the Milton Keynes project.
At launch the project will involve one house supporting up to three tenants, working in partnership with our first partner church, New Life Church Milton Keynes.
You will help:
* Build partnerships with churches across Milton Keynes
* Support and encourage church volunteers
* Ensure safeguarding and governance standards are maintained
* Develop relationships with local agencies, supporters, and investors
* Lay the foundations for future houses and growth
You will work closely with Hope into Action UK advisors, who provide established policies, safeguarding frameworks, systems, and ongoing support.
This means you are not building a housing project from scratch - you are helping implement and grow an established national model locally.
About you
We are looking for someone who:
* Is motivated by their Christian faith and compassion for those experiencing homelessness
* Enjoys building relationships and connecting people around a shared vision
* Is organised, proactive, and comfortable coordinating people and systems
* Can work collaboratively with churches, volunteers, and community partners
* Has initiative and enjoys helping something new take shape
Experience in leadership, community work, housing, or charity management would be helpful, but we are equally interested in people with the right values, attitude, and relational skills.
A pioneering opportunity
This is an opportunity to help establish a project that could grow to support many more people across Milton Keynes in the years ahead.
As the project grows and additional houses are opened, hours and responsibilities are expected to increase accordingly.
For the right candidate this role could be combined with the Church & Tenant Empowerment Worker role (total hours to be agreed) which can be found on our website here
