Franchise Lead

Hope into Action UK


Date: 15 hours ago
City: Portsmouth
Salary: £35,000 - £45,000 per year
Contract type: Full time

Our vision is for every church in the Portsmouth area to provide a home for

people who’ve been homeless. We dream of ending homelessness by partnering with local churches to grow positive, prayerful support networks around people who’ve been homeless, as well as providing a safe, stable place to live.


Right now, in and around Portsmouth, we have 11 houses, with 28 tenants being befriended and loved by 8 churches – all set up since 2018. And we’re not stopping there, with more churches and areas looking to join us.


When we provide people with a safe home, professional support and the security of positive relationships, this helps them find the confidence, motivation and hope for change. Then we are able to support them in moving on to their own secure accommodation.


The Franchise Lead is key to keeping our growing organisation strong and Christian, partnering with churches to show God’s love to tenants no matter what they are facing. We want to grow without ever losing the quality of support that we offer to our tenants. Are you up for this exciting challenge?


Key aspects of the role include:


  • Overall: our vision is to see each individual and family thrive in our homes, and to see more local churches wanting to “house the homeless.”
  • Develop and equip the team to ensure tenants thrive in safe, supportive environments. We currently have 6 staff.
  • Work with local churches so that their friendship & support teams are empowered, equipped, and prayerful; promote the charity so that new ones want to get involved.
  • Ensure current investors feel engaged and valued; and promote the charity so that new ones come on board.
  • Ensure that the charity has the highest safeguarding, property and quality standards, liaising with national and regional Hope into Action teams.


Essential attributes required:


  • Proven experience in managing programs and teams with compassion and professionalism.
  • Exceptional organisational and communication skills to inspire tenants, churches, and stakeholders.
  • A heart for vulnerable adults and a deep understanding of homelessness issues.
  • A resourceful, emotionally intelligent, prayerful leader with a strong Christian faith.


This post is subject to an occupational requirement that the holder be a Christian under Part 1 of Schedule 9 to the Equality Act 2010.
