About us

Housing Justice is a charity that acts on homelessness and housing need across England and Wales. We work to prevent people from experiencing homelessness, help people out of homelessness or destitution, and enable the building of affordable homes. We also take a leading role as the voice of the faith and voluntary sector, supported by the Welsh and UK Governments. At Housing Justice, we value differences: we are a diverse organisation, and we work with people of all faiths and none. We seek to influence and bring about change for the benefit of those we serve through partnership, lobbying and networking. Our initiatives include Faith in Affordable Housing, Hosting people seeking sanctuary, Support for people from Ukraine, The Winter Night Shelter Network and Citadel.

About you

We are looking for a confident, established professional with extensive knowledge and networks across housing in Scotland, who is comfortable navigating faith spaces. You will be a project manager who is happy working independently and remotely, while achieving high quality deliverables.

About the role

We have recently received funding to explore expansion into Scotland for the Faith in Affordable Housing project. This will be a 15-month project with potential to expand, subject to funding.

The proposed project is to undertake a scoping exercise across Scotland, to ascertain the need for social and affordable housing, and the key stakeholders providing housing, as well as the potential presented by faith organisation-owned assets to meet housing need. The resulting feasibility study and business plan will then inform the potential next steps for Faith in Affordable Housing Scotland.
