We’re recruiting a Scheme Manager to oversee two supported housing services: a 16-unit self-contained scheme for adults and a five-bedroom house in multiple occupation (HMO).

The role
You’ll lead day-to-day service delivery, supervise and develop staff, manage rotas and performance, and maintain strong safeguarding and housing management standards. You’ll oversee referrals, voids and incidents, respond to tenancy challenges and drive improvements, embedding the values of Empower, Respect, Inclusion, Compassion and Collaboration.
What you’ll need
- Experience in homelessness, supported housing or a similar setting.
- Strong leadership skills and the ability to supervise and support staff.
