Job Description
One of Park Avenue's long-standing local authority clients on the South Coast is looking for an experienced Housing Options Service Manager to join them on a 15-month maternity cover contract.
You'll be stepping into a senior leadership role that's equivalent to a Head of Service, leading the full Homelessness and Housing Options function. The remit covers Triage, Prevention, Relief, Rough Sleeping & Complex Singles, Specialist Housing and Allocations, with around 200 staff reporting indirectly through a team of Principal Managers and Seniors.
You'll be part of a supportive leadership team and have the chance to make a visible impact while guiding the service through a period of change and continuity.
They're looking for someone to start around mid-December, though there's flexibility for the right person to begin sooner. The setup is hybrid, with an expectation of being on-site roughly one day a week for visibility and key meetings.
Desirable experience:
- Leading large, multi-disciplinary housing or homelessness teams
- Strong understanding of homelessness and housing legislation
- Proven ability to drive service improvement and manage change
- Excellent stakeholder and partnership skills
- Approachable, confident leadership style
Interviews will be schedules for the end of the month.
