Permanent, full-time (37.5 hours per week)
Clevedon & Weston Super Mare, North Somerset
You have substantial experience of working in Housing and Social Care and an in‐depth understanding of mental health issues. You’d also like to be part of an organisation that counts on the professionalism, insight, expertise and passion of its staff to inspire individual recovery for the people they work with. Welcome to Waythrough’s North Somerset Supported Housing as a Service Manager.
We provide supported housing for people who are experiencing mental ill health. Our service is tailored to each person with the ultimate goal to help you manage your accommodation and move back into independent living and connect with the wider community. The accommodation is temporary, typically for 24 months (2 years) but longer as required. We provide support to help with move on from this. Our housing in Clevedon consists of 8 self-contained flats, and we have a shared house for 10 people in Weston-super-Mare.
We know that recovery can look and feel very different to each and every one of us. But we also know that if we provide the right support, at the right time, we can inspire recovery nationwide and that recovery is possible for everyone. That’s where you come in. Responsible for managing the day‐to‐day running of the service, you’ll ensure the quality of support we provide to people who use our services is second to none. Managing service contracts, line managing staff, carrying out inductions, undertaking investigations, putting team development plans in place and supporting business development colleagues – all are aspects of this challenging and rewarding role.
Substantial experience of managing a caseload of individuals with complex needs is a given, as is the ability to lead by example using a firm but inclusive management style. Some housing management experience would be useful too. Open and encouraging, you have lots of tact and diplomacy and are great at managing conflicting priorities. You also have a flexible approach to working hours and are happy to participate in remote on call arrangements.
In return for your skills and enthusiasm, this role comes with some really great benefits and excellent training and development opportunities.
