    Are you passionate about housing issues? Do you believe that everybody has the right to live in a place which is safe, secure and appropriate to their needs?

    Quaker Housing Trust (QHT) is a charity through which Quakers can put money directly into projects creating homes. QHT's work is not just about houses: it is about people and lives, and having a safe, secure and appropriate place to live. It recognises that housing – a home – is a vital element of an inclusive and compassionate society.

    The Secretary is the sole staff member supporting QHT; managing and administering a grant and loan programme, acting as Company Secretary and promoting the work of QHT. The role also provides support to Trustees - ensuring the timely production of management information and preparing the business for Board meetings.

    We are looking for someone who is a self-starter, has experience of managing grant/loan processes, knowledge of charity and company compliance and is skilled at managing a wide range of relationships. In return we offer you excellent terms and conditions and the opportunity to make a significant contribution to a small social housing charity, whilst being part of a dynamic, wider staff team working to build a more peaceful, just and sustainable world.

    You do not have to be a Quaker; but we expect the successful applicant to uphold and demonstrate our values.
