About the Team Manager role:
At Single Homeless Project (SHP), we believe everyone deserves a place to call home and the opportunity to build a meaningful life. Our Complex Needs Accommodation Service in Islington offers just that - a chance to make a lasting impact on the lives of men with complex histories, including those who have experienced homelessness, involvement with the criminal justice system, and multiple disadvantage. As Team Manager of this 13-bed male-only service, you will work closely with the Regional Services Manager to lead a small, committed team. You’ll shape the day to day running of the service, ensuring the delivery of responsive, high-quality support that prioritises safety, progression and connection. Your work will be grounded in strong partnership working, safeguarding practice and effective risk management, particularly with clients at MAPPA (multi agency public protection arrangements) levels 2 and 3.
This is more than just a management role, it’s an opportunity to be at the heart of change. You’ll guide and support a passionate team, fostering their growth while enabling better outcomes for clients. With a strong emphasis on performance and innovation, your leadership will help drive forward SHP’s mission to break the cycle of homelessness. You'll join an organisation where ambition is matched by real development opportunities, where staff are supported to grow into new roles and where your ideas can shape the future of services. If you’re ready to bring your experience, drive and vision to a team that’s making a difference every day, we’d love to hear from you.
About you:
Organised, highly motivated, proactive and adept at developing and maintaining relationships with internal and external stakeholders.
Experience of managing people/staff, with the ability to motivate and encourage a team to perform effectively.
A good understanding of working with high risk clients (e.g. MAPPA level 2 and 3), vulnerable people and those who have been rough sleeping.
Our attractive benefits package includes:
A salary increase after successfully completing six month's probationary period
A 37.5 hour working week including flexible working hours (core hours are 10am – 4pm) in non-accommodation services
25 days annual leave, increasing annually to the maximum 30 days (plus paid Bank Holidays),
A contributory pension scheme: Single Homeless Project will contribute the equivalent of 5% of your annual salary
