Volunteer Project Manager – Property Development

We're embarking on a major and exciting project: to develop a new, integrated Day Centre and Supported Accommodation facility for people experiencing homelessness in Maidstone.

To bring this vision to life, we’re looking for a skilled and committed volunteer Project Manager to help lead the journey - from identifying and acquiring a suitable site or building, to working with architects and local authorities, and overseeing the design and build process.

This is a rare opportunity to help shape a lasting legacy for Maidstone, one that will change lives and provide a sense of safety, dignity and belonging for years to come.

What will you be doing?

You’ll work closely with our board of trustees and local partners to:

• Manage the full lifecycle of the project: discovery, feasibility, purchase, design, planning permission, and delivery.

• Liaise with property agents and identify suitable buildings or sites.

• Coordinate architects, surveyors, and other professionals to explore options and create designs.

• Navigate planning processes and engage with Maidstone Borough Council and other statutory bodies.

• Oversee budgets, risks, timescales, and procurement processes.

Why Join Us?

This is more than a building project - it’s a chance to help create a safe, welcoming, and life-changing space for people who need it most. You’ll be joining a small but passionate team of staff, trustees, and volunteers who are committed to delivering real change in our town.
