Are you looking to make a difference to the lives of people experiencing homelessness in Worcestershire? If so, we are currently looking for a experienced Fundraising Officer to work within our Head Office Team here at Maggs.

Maggs was founded in 1984 after a homeless man died after years of sleeping rough on the streets. This incident led to a day centre being created in the former St Albans church, dedicated to helping people experiencing homeless in Worcester. Since then we have expanded by opening an second Day Centre in Malvern, we now have an Outreach Team who work in the community, a Clothing Project where people experiencing homelessness can get clean clothes and supplies, and most recently we have set up our accommodation project to provide temporary housing with support from Tenancy Sustainment Workers, with a view to tenants having the skills and confidence to secure permanent housing.
