As part of a nationwide movement of local Emmaus charities, we equip people with valuable skills, training and work experience to achieve their goals.

No one’s life should be defined by homelessness. In our caring community, we build on each individual’s abilities, increasing their confidence and self-esteem. The people we support have a purpose and a chance to make a real contribution to their community.

We are looking for someone who can lead people, drive improvement, champion safeguarding, build systems, strengthen compliance and act as a trusted deputy to the Chief Executive Officer.

This is an exciting and rewarding opportunity to play a significant role in the next chapter of Emmaus Merseide’s development.
