Use your finance experience to help build a housing and social-impact organisation focused on stability, independence and a place to call home.
New Life New Journey is a growing housing and social-impact organisation shaped by lived experience of housing instability, supported accommodation and hostel living across Birmingham and Wolverhampton.
Our mission is to create more than temporary accommodation. We want to build sustainable housing pathways that help people move from instability towards stability, personal development, purpose, independence and ultimately a place they can call home.
Our immediate focus is building relationships with councils, housing providers, landlords and accommodation partners while developing sustainable property and housing opportunities.
Longer term, we aim to develop supported transitional accommodation alongside an 18-month pathway that helps people rebuild their lives and move towards independent living.
We are looking for a Finance & Accounting Adviser who can help us make sure the organisation grows on strong financial foundations.
You could support us by:
- Helping with budgeting and cash-flow planning
- Reviewing costs, pricing and margins
- Supporting financial controls and risk management
- Helping assess the financial viability of housing opportunities
- Advising on commercial and growth decisions
- Supporting longer-term financial planning
- Providing constructive challenge and an independent perspective
This is a flexible, voluntary advisory role working alongside the Founder.
As New Life New Journey grows and becomes financially sustainable, there will be opportunities for the right adviser relationship to develop into a more formal leadership or Director position.
We are looking for someone who understands that strong financial management is what helps social impact last.
If you want to use your finance experience to help build something purposeful, sustainable and capable of changing lives, we would love to hear from you.

About New Journey New Life
New Life New Journey is a growing social-impact organisation built around one simple belief: people deserve the opportunity to rebuild their lives.
Our work is focused on creating housing pathways for people facing homelessness, housing instability and disadvantage, while building partnerships with councils, housing providers, landlords and organisations that share our commitment to long-term change.
Our vision goes beyond providing a roof. We want to help people move from instability to stability, confidence, purpose and ultimately independent living.
The organisation is being built from lived experience. Our Founder, Ermias Martin-Blessed, has experienced prison, homelessness and rebuilding his own life, and now wants to use that journey to create opportunities for others.
We are still at an exciting early stage, which means volunteers and trustees joining us now have the opportunity to genuinely help shape the organisation, influence our direction and grow with us.
We are looking for people who believe in social impact, bring valuable skills and want to be part of building something meaningful, sustainable and capable of changing lives.
We don’t just want to provide housing.
We want to help people build a new life and a new journey.
