Open Door is a night shelter for the homeless based in St Albans, Hertfordshire. It supports the local homeless by providing lunchtime drop-in services, 12 ensuite bedrooms, and 4 additional beds at its Winter Beds Project.

What difference will you make?
We are looking for individuals who can bring to the Board some practical experience of working directly with homeless people, especially rough sleepers, and/or experience of agencies or organisations that work with homeless people. Your contribution could be invaluable in bringing a wider perspective to our work and providing practical and strategic advice on current and future activities.

  1. Experience of working with agencies and organisations that support those who are homeless, potentially homeless, or in poor or insecure accommodation.
  2. Experience of charitable fundraising.

What will you be doing?
You will be helping with:

  1. Raising awareness of local homelessness and related issues, and setting the strategic direction of the Charity.
  2. Assessing applications from Hightown Housing Association for project funding, which may involve applications for funds to buy equipment, furniture, etc.
  3. Monitoring the achievements of the Night Shelter and the Safer Streets Outreach Worker in helping service users manage and improve their lives.
  4. Supporting our paid coordinator in raising funds to continue our support for the Night Shelter and other projects.
  5. Policy planning and strategy planning for the Winter Beds Project.
  6. Contributing knowledge and skills in marketing, project management, and IT.

We need to maintain regular contacts with St Albans Council Housing Department and contribute to the work on the St Albans Homelessness Strategy.
