Home Hub is a Perth-based social enterprise helping people get into safe and affordable homes. There is currently an opportunity for a social purpose-driven specialist to join our team in Perth!

About Home Hub

Since its launch in November 2019, Home Hub has grown to become one of Perth’s leading change agents in sparking, nurturing and growing a safe and affordable housing marketplace.

Our grassroots housing initiatives have supported West Australians to connect with, and have a safe and affordable place to call home, and our work in partnership with citizens, community organisations, the private sector and government is changing the conversation around how we understand, manage and evaluate safe and affordable housing in WA.

We have bold plans to nurture our movement further in 2021, as our organisation enters its next phase of growth.

About the team

We are a small and enterprising team, passionately exploring and establishing innovative ways of working in the modern world. Aspiring to create a unique organisation that supports people to work autonomously through trust and informed decision making. Everybody has gifts to contribute, and we work hard on creating the environment and culture to acknowledge and harness the potential in people, teams and our organisation.

Position purpose

We are on the brink of embarking on a bold experiment to bring together representatives from the ‘housing continuum’ across WA as part of a ‘Community of Practice’ dedicated to collaborating to share, design and evolve innovative, contemporary housing pathways, and approaches to connecting people with safe and affordable homes.

The ‘Homes for Good’ initiative will draw inspiration from asset-based community development principles, collective impact approaches, and place-based development frameworks to make better use of empty or latent rooms, homes and spaces across WA, as a means of tackling and reducing the affordable housing crisis facing over 60,000 West Australian households.

The primary focus of this role is to lead on the successful facilitation of housing pathways into long-term, safe and affordable homes.

Key responsibilities

• Develop and manage partnerships – Develop and maintain strong working relationships with key partners (people, owners, landlords and agents, organisations) interested in participating in the Homes for Good initiative.
• Facilitate the delivery and evaluation of a housing pathway solution – Play the lead facilitation role in the success of a scalable solution (Homes for Good as a safe and affordable housing pathway).
• Contribute to the nurturing of a community of practice – Contribute to a community of practice model that supports WA communities to work together in the design, collaboration and achievement of tangible impact (facilitating people into safe and affordable homes).

Good people doing good work

We're passionate about people, and passionate about our work. We believe less in qualifications and more about the person and their ability to 'do the good work needed for our community'. Please feel welcome to consider your passion for and suitability to the role - you do not need to be a perfect match for the whole PD, but a commitment to achieving good outcomes and getting people into safe and affordable homes is critical.

Come join us, and do some 'good work'!
