Sounds great, what will I be doing? Step into a role where your work directly shapes the safety, stability and wellbeing of people rebuilding their lives after domestic abuse. As a Housing Coordinator with Hestia, you'll be at the heart of our mission to provide Safety, Hope and Purpose. You'll oversee the day‑to‑day running of our refuge buildings, ensuring they are welcoming, secure and aligned with our psychologically informed PIPE standards.
