An experienced homelessness leader who thrives in a fast-paced, purposeful environment, you’ll have significant experience managing teams in a homelessness service. You’ll bring strong working knowledge of safeguarding frameworks, risk management, and escalation processes, alongside a good understanding of the following legislation:
- The Housing Act 1996 (Part VII)
- The Localism Act 2011
- The Homelessness Reduction Act 2017
- The Domestic Abuse Act 2021
In a previous role, you’ll have led specialist or complex operational functions, including managing budgets, staff and resources, and you’ll have the proven ability to motivate and support teams in a fast-paced environment.
On a personal level, you’ll be a true team player capable of making quick, effective decisions under pressure. Most importantly, you’ll be an individual passionate about improving outcomes for people experiencing homelessness. Putting our customer’s voices at the heart of the service, you’ll use feedback to shape resident experience, taking a sensitive, empathetic approach to everything you do.
This is a fantastic opportunity to drive improvements in a supportive, community-rooted team that values development, inclusivity and collaboration, and to supercharge your career in the process.
