Hi Thanks for asking about our role of Collections & Delivery Van Driver. We are a dynamic and professional group of people working to create a fairer society through helping to improve the lives of people suffering homelessness and preventing people from becoming homeless and we’re always looking forward to welcoming new, like-minded, people into our team. This role helps the team to collect, sell and deliver pre-loved furniture. Our furniture stores cover 10,000ft2 and have a huge selection of household furniture and electricals – we offer a unique selection of high quality and affordable items with new stock every single day. The proceeds from selling the furniture help towards ending homelessness. This is an important time for us as we meet the many challenges in the sector and in the whole of society and we are always looking for ways to stay ahead of the field and to achieve more for the people that rely on our services. To find out more about our work, go to www.wearetrinity.org.uk If you want an exciting challenge with an aspiring organisation then please write to us and tell us about yourself and why you want to work with us and please include your current CV. I look forward to hearing from you. Best wishes, Steve Hedley CEO – Creating Exciting Opportunities Why work for us? Trinity is all about creating a fairer society through ending homelessness. Homelessness in Britain is the result of treating housing as a commodity rather than a human right. It is rooted in privilege, wealth and power and policies that are inconsistent with human rights – neglecting or failing to respond adequately to the needs of the most disadvantaged in response to crises or economic developments. The response should be clear: we must commit to ending homelessness. This would, in fact, be in line with the global target to ensure adequate housing for all by 2030, which was committed to in the UN’s sustainable development goals. Why work for us…? Because we believe deeply in justice and we are a community of committed people who want to make our lives count in leaving a legacy that makes the world a better place. We have deeply held values and ethics and a high degree of self-directed performance. We have a positive coaching culture and we are solution focussed. There is a genuine and deeply felt commitment to continuous improvement and an aspirational approach to the future and we will not stop until everyone has a home…or at least a bed for the night. Other reasons: Great people We currently have a team of 50+ gifted, friendly, funny people and in this year’s staff survey scored Trinity 9/10 as a place to work! Flexible working Some roles dictate that you’ve got to be somewhere at a certain time. Outside of this we value autonomy and flexibility and we trust our people to manage their own time. Above average local pay Pension Good annual leave Maternity and paternity leave We look after you when you’re sick or need time off Self-directed learning A day off for your birthday And an all-expenses paid holiday (Okay… no free holiday) “This is one of the happiest places I’ve ever worked. I look forward to coming in the mornings.” What we do Trinity Homeless Projects (Trinity) is a registered Charity working in West London and Slough to end homelessness. Hillingdon is one of London’s largest Boroughs and we are the largest provider of Supported Accommodation in the Borough. We currently have over 50 properties housing over 300 people. We employ full-time trained Coaches who offer between one and four hours coaching per resident per week depending on need and risk. Resident’s needs and risks are reviewed by the Team every week. Coaches are trained NLP Practitioners and receive monthly individual and team coaching. We map our progress through a Strengths Chart that focuses on assets not deficits and this year our ex-resident survey showed that 86% of people that move on from our Supported Housing are still securely housed after 12 months, making Trinity a long-term solution to homelessness. We run a Reconnection Service for people sleeping rough at Heathrow and our Day Service (SHOC) in Slough work with about 100 people every week. We are also family coaches and help families from UK, Afghanistan and Ukraine. We have two large furniture recycling stores that deliver employment training and saves over 2,300 tons of C02 every year and we provide training and education to over 150 businesses, schools and colleges in an effort to prevent homelessness and rough sleeping. We have a strategy with mapped pathways that can provide a local system where no one need to suffer homelessness again. “Trinity is amazing, they have taught me how to be positive and how to stay strong and focussed on my life” Our Pathway Everyone has the right to a home…or at least a bed for the night “Without Trinity I don’t know where I would be, it’s made me see life again” Life exp...

Giving dogs a second chance
13th Jan 2026
Stokenchurch Dog Rescue (SDR) is looking to secure the services of an externally appointed Dog Trainer who can commit to 6 hours per week to support the development of our centre-based rescue dogs.
As our appointed Trainer, you will work directly with our rescue dogs helping them build the skills and confidence needed for adoption.
SDR is committed to using positive, reward-based reinforcement training methods. To maintain our high welfare standards and ensure our rescue dogs continue to thrive and develop, we require candidates to be ATBC‑registered and ideally CCAB‑certified.
We need the successful externally appointed trainer to help with the following;
- Delivery of dog training and behavioural guidance for our centre dogs
- Creating and implementing written training plans for our centre dogs
- Regularly reviewing the training plans to ensure they remain effective, achievable and supportive of each dog's progress within the kennel environment
- Communicating the training plans clearly to our staff to ensure consistent continuous development for the dogs.
The externally appointed contractor must hold their own public liability insurance to undertake this work. A copy of this policy will be requested for review before their services are engaged.
Services will be delivered under a formal service agreement outlining the scope of work, expectations, and terms of engagement.
If you are interested in this rewarding opportunity and can meet these requirements, we would like to hear from you. Please forward your CV and certification to Robyn@stokenchurchdogrescue.org.uk
