Independent trustee recruitment

Homeless Link is uniquely placed as the connecting force between the Government, the homelessness sector and other related agencies. As such, we believe we are a powerful force for change. We believe that the next few years are vital in transforming our vision into action to end homelessness forever.

HOW COULD YOU HELP US ACHIEVE THIS?

Trusteeship is a great way to make a significant difference. It's also a brilliant route to developing new skills, gaining more experience and getting involved with new networks. We’re looking for dynamic senior managers or chief executives who will:

  • bring their own combination of expertise and perspectives to our Board
  • help ensure that our strategy is clear and that we remain true to our vision
  • ensure we comply with all the necessary rules and legal obligations

COMMITTED TO DIVERSITY

Homeless Link is firmly committed to diversity in all areas of its work. We want to develop and maintain an organisation in which differing ideas, background and needs are fostered and valued. We seek to reflect this commitment in a board that comprises of a variety of individuals of differing age, ethnicity, sexual orientation and gender. Interest from people from a black or minority ethnic background, people with a disability and those with direct experience of homelessness would be especially welcome to help us achieve this. If you have the ability to innovate, challenge assumptions and influence public policy in controversial areas, we'd like to hear from you.

There are two routes to becoming a Homeless Link trustee:
