Thank you for considering the exciting opportunity to join Depaul UK as Executive Director of Finance and IT, and member of the Executive team. Depaul UK has a proud thirty-five-year history of working to prevent and alleviate homelessness of the most vulnerable people in our society. Our work is rooted in our Vision, Mission and Values. Our Vision is of a society in which everyone, across the world, has a place to call home and a stake in their community. Our Mission is to end homelessness and change the lives of those affected by it.
We are rooted in local communities across the UK through both our charity delivering services to young people and rough sleepers, and through our subsidiary Housing Provider- Depaul Housing Services. Our Parent Charity is Depaul International, and this offers a unique opportunity to be influence global change in homelessness with our sister charities around the world.
We are a diverse and ambitious business growing our social housing stock, increasing our contracted prevention and support work and growing our voluntary income. I became CEO in January 2024 and along with our amazing Trustees and Leadership Team I am refining the strategic direction of the organisation for the next three years.
We will develop a new Business Plan with clear, simple goals and timeline for delivery. We will build upon where we are, having increased both the breadth of our work and our capital development programmes throughout both the Covid Pandemic and the Cost of Living Crisis.
This is an exciting time for Depaul UK and this role provides a fantastic opportunity for a skilled, highly motivated individual to strengthen our Finance and IT functions to evolve, shape, support and drive our organisational transformation, and to work as part of a united and determined Executive team, backed by a strong Board. To provide visible leadership to our people, commitment to our stakeholders and clients and help deliver our business goals, and to be part of our global family. If you share our passion for ending homelessness through prevention, support and housing and to positively shape society through influencing public policy, and you think this role is for you, we look forward to hearing from you.
