The Co-ordinator will lead a multi-disciplinary team (MDT), including staff from housing standards, housing options, adult social care, fire and rescue service, and housing benefits. The co-ordinator will have line management responsibility for 2 administrators and provide guidance to other MDT members related to the project.
The Co-ordinator will manage the delivery of SHIP to improve quality and standards within the non-commissioned supported housing sector, particularly in the short-term or transitional market, where clients are provided accommodation usually up to two years. This project aims to facilitate positive changes in supported housing provision and management across Lancaster and Preston by leveraging expertise from various services.
