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”
