Property and guardian assistant (part-time)

About Dot Dot Dot Founded in 2011, Dot Dot Dot is a social enterprise that turns properties which would otherwise stand empty into temporary homes. Owners benefit from cost-effective property protection. Residents - known as property guardians - gain access to inexpensive housing. Local communities are strengthened by having conscientious, engaged neighbours. Everybody wins. Because social impact is at the heart of what we do, everyone we house commits to volunteering for good causes each month. Since 2011, we’ve housed over 2,000 people and supported them to contribute tens of thousands of hours to a wide variety of charities and community projects. Collectively, their time has been worth £7.6 million - the equivalent of one person working full-time for more than 308 years.
