Volunteer Opportunities
As Housing Lead Trustee, you will provide board-level leadership and oversight on housing, helping Boaz sustain and develop its accommodation provision. Following Charity Commission best practice, the role ensures that trustees have clear oversight of housing, property, and related risks, while remaining focused on governance rather than day-to-day management.
You will act as a champion for housing on the Board and serve as a constructive, supportive point of contact for the Head of Accommodation. The role does not involve operational housing management.
Please note, all Boaz Trustees are volunteers. This role is unpaid, with reimbursement for travel and reasonable expenses.
If you bring the experience and skills outlined in our recruitment pack and you share our ethos and values, we would love to hear from you.
