Join our Experts by Experience panel

The Experts by Experience Panel is a group of people with lived experience of homelessness (both those who have used Crisis services and those who have not) who inform the work of Crisis and participate in our continued development to make sure we are providing the services that people want and need from us.

Experts by Experience will have access to a wide range of opportunities in Crisis to support and develop our work. This might include working with our Fundraising, Best Practice, Client Services, Policy and Campaigns and Commerce and Enterprise teams as well as sharing your personal experiences with a wide range of audiences to help educate and inform our fundraising, corporate sponsors and the general public.

One of our current Experts by Experience Panel Members said that

“It gives me a more fulfilling quality of life to be part of something which is so much bigger than me on my own.”

Is this role right for me? 

The only experience necessary is lived experience of homelessness. Just bring you, your
experiences and a willingness to learn something new and be involved with something that has
been so exciting for other EBEs who have been involved (in their own words!).

The project is flexible and we will work with you to find out the areas of the organisation you are
most interested in. The amount of time you can commit to engaging with Experts by Experience is
up to you.

You will be renumerated for your time.

Detail 

This year we are looking approximately 20 people with direct experience of homelessness from across Great Britain to join our existing members of the network
