    • Confident public speaker, with experience delivering presentations and facilitating onboarding sessions, workshops, online drop‑ins, and training sessions.
    • Proactive approach to communication, including confidence in picking up the phone, engaging support workers, and visiting partner organisations in person.
    • Experience writing reports, collecting and analysing data, and communicating findings to a range of stakeholders.
    • Demonstrable passion for, and commitment to, disrupting the current housing system and ending homelessness for good.
