Job description


Are you passionate about supporting some of the most vulnerable members of society? Do you have experience of delivering high performance in challenging circumstances?





We have a vacancy within our City-Wide Housing Services for a permanent Operations and Development Manager. This is an excellent opportunity to join a busy front-line team at a time when we are restructuring our services to improve outcomes for some of the most vulnerable citizens of our city. You will play an integral part in helping to shape those services.





You will be responsible for managing teams providing housing advice, support and assistance for those who want or need to move as well as those who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. Excellent communication and collaboration skills are a must, as you will work closely with partner organisations to make sure support is in place for people in their new homes.





Working as a key member of our management team, the focus of the role will be on effective case management and ensuring we meet our legal duties. You will have leadership skills and proven experience of achieving performance in a challenging environment. You will play a vital role in ensuring we continuously develop our service and focus on best practice.

We are investing in our workforce and are promoting opportunities to our under-represented groups. We value equality, diversity and inclusion and are focused on increasing the diversity of our workforce, particularly the number of Black, Asian, Minority Ethnic, Disabled and LGBTQ+ people, so that our teams reflect the communities in the city we serve. We are also supporting staff with unpaid caring responsibilities to work flexibly.





It is a great time to join us and we welcome your application.
