Ready to lead a small team and make a real difference for adults facing housing challenges?
We’re recruiting a Scheme Manager to oversee two supported housing services: a 16-unit self-contained scheme for adults and a five-bedroom house in multiple occupation (HMO).
This is a hands-on role supporting residents with complex needs, including drug and alcohol misuse and risks to their tenancies. You’ll need to stay calm under pressure, manage competing priorities and provide clear direction to three support staff.

- Partnership working, collaborating with local authorities and external agencies.
The role
You’ll lead day-to-day service delivery, supervise and develop staff, manage rotas and performance, and maintain strong safeguarding and housing management standards. You’ll oversee referrals, voids and incidents, respond to tenancy challenges and drive improvements, embedding the values of Empower, Respect, Inclusion, Compassion and Collaboration.
What you’ll need
- Experience in homelessness, supported housing or a similar setting.
- Strong leadership skills and the ability to supervise and support staff.
- Knowledge of safeguarding, housing management and complex needs.
- Confidence working in a fast-paced environment and balancing competing priorities.
