Safe Homes. Transforming lives. 

At Salvation Army Homes we know that the people we house, and support are some of the most vulnerable people in society and we aim to provide them an environment where they feel respected, valued and encouraged. So, when you join our POD Committee you will be making a tangible contribution to transforming lives.  

While prior Committee or Board experience is not essential, you’ll have some understanding of the principles of good governance. We seek new colleagues who are collaborative and team-players. You will be comfortable with consensus-based decision making that is founded in good quality debate.

We are looking to increase the diversity of our Committee to more closely represent our staff and residents we serve. As such we particularly encourage people with lived experience of social housing and/or supported housing, younger people, those with disabilities and people from black and minority ethnic communities to apply.
