What are we looking for?
Our Supported Housing Services have a strong reputation across the sector due to the high quality of our accommodation, exceptional approach to collaboration and commitment to partnership working.
This is a brand-new role, working in partnership with Stockton Borough Council. We are looking for people who have a strong social purpose, are committed to making a difference and are passionate about providing the best possible services to our customers. In return we will invest in your development and support you to grow and learn.
The successful candidate will manage and deliver a service to alleviate homelessness across our portfolio of properties in line with our polices and procedures, service standards and contractual arrangements. Previous experience of manging an intensive housing management service is therefore essential along with experience of managing risks in complex cases and an understanding of homelessness and technical issues relating to housing.
You will ensure customers are living in a positive, comfortable, safe environment, assessing referral suitability and maximising income through effective arrears monitoring whilst helping customers to move on to long term accommodation.
You will be required to work flexibly and travel between properties as necessary.
