Date Posted: 01/12/2020
Closing Date: 13/01/2021
We are looking for new trustees to join our board with expertise in Housing Law, Digital and Marketing and HR to help us continue supporting homeless young people in Warwickshire.
Doorway works with some of the most disadvantaged young people in Warwickshire. We specialise in working in communities where poverty and long-term unemployment have resulted in generations of social exclusion and high rates of homelessness. Over the past 22 years we have grown as an organisation and developed and enhanced our work and the impact it has across Warwickshire.
The aim of our organisation is to ensure that young people who are homeless can look forward with optimism, raise their aspirations and improve their quality of life. This can be achieved with access to good quality housing advice and support to equip young people with the skills and ability to move forward positively in their lives and fulfil their needs and potential.
Role summary
Each trustee that currently sits on our board has experience and expertise relevant to a charity responsibility. The current vacancies require experience and strategic understanding of Housing Law, HR, Digital and Marketing to aid the other Trustees as part of the team which enables the Charity to thrive.
All of our Trustees work together to deliver Doorway’s mission. You will be able to showcase your skills and experience to ensure we have a robust strategy in place, ensuring our provision of services continues delivering support to those young people who need it most.
