Homelessness charity Emmaus Dover is seeking individuals to join its Board of Trustees and help play a pivotal role in transforming the lives of people who have experienced homelessness.
The charity is looking for candidates with experience in charity governance and the skills necessary to fulfil the responsibilities of a trustee. Emmaus Dover is keen to hear from individuals with expertise in:
- Finance
- Clinical practice
- HR
- ICT
- Retail
Ideally, applicants should be based near Dover to enable regular visits to the charity and build strong relationships with those supported by Emmaus (known as companions), staff and volunteers.
Andrew Eberlein, chair of trustees at Emmaus Dover, said: “Being part of Emmaus Dover is incredibly rewarding. It’s inspiring to see companions who have experienced homelessness rebuild their lives – gaining new skills through our social enterprises, finding a safe place to call home and rediscovering their sense of purpose within the community.
“Everyone has something valuable to offer. By becoming a trustee, you can use your time and expertise to make a real difference in the lives of those working towards a brighter future. We welcome anyone in the local community who shares our vision to join us in this vital work.”
