Unseen Tours is a London-based social enterprise on a mission to provide meaningful work opportunities in the tourism, events and cultural heritage sectors for individuals who have experienced homelessness, alongside other forms of discrimination and marginalisation. The majority of our ticket revenue is paid directly to our tour guides, with the rest reinvested back into the business.
Here's what's unique about our approach - the tours provide training and meaningful work opportunities for people affected by homelessness. Tour narratives include the guides' and experience providers' own experiences of homelessness and stories from their communities, making the process individual-led. The conversations with customers on our tours reduce barriers by increasing understanding of homelessness that challenges negative stereotypes and prejudices through dialogue and storytelling.
Ensure the social enterprise complies with its governing document, legal and regulatory requirements, and key objectives with integrity.
Safeguard the reputation, values, and financial stability of the enterprise, including proper fund management and fundraising efforts.
Oversee the effective and efficient administration of the organisation and the performance of its leadership, including appointing and monitoring the CEO.
Contribute proactively to the organisation's mission through ideas, opinions, and connections, while fostering diversity, inclusion, and equal opportunities.
Directors are expected to use any specific skills, knowledge or experience they have to help the Board make informed decisions.
Sense of fulfilment in knowing your work is having a significant impact on people affected by homelessness and leads to long-term, social impact.
Personal and professional growth within a cool and youth-led organisation with a unique concept.
Gain awareness about homelessness and intersecting issues affecting today’s society.
Bonus perk: join our walking tours and experiences for free and be the first one to test new tours and concepts (in exchange for your honest feedback!)
