Housing Officer - Lateral Move

We are The Housing Network (THN), a private Limited Company with a purpose. We exist to provide 'More than a Roof', because when life is at its toughest, we believe everyone deserves a safe and stable place to rebuild their lives. Homelessness is a vast and complex issue that does not have a single solution. In understanding that reality, we've learned the importance of perspective; appreciating that if we continue to innovate, collaborate, and give our best, we are playing our part in making a vital difference. We are a team that is absolutely committed to innovate, excel and be dependable in all that we do. Working hard together to achieve our mission of providing Better Accommodation, Better Support, Better Partnerships, and as a result Better Business. Role Overview - What is it? To lead one of our local teams in the delivery of various supported housing services, including our new Active Opportunity Pathway (AOP) for those experiencing multiple disadvantage / severe multiple disadvantage and/or temporary accommodation for individuals or families. You will be an experienced supported housing professional who is familiar with leading, supporting and managing teams (in a hands-on way) to help those experiencing multiple disadvantage or severe multiple disadvantage to overcome barriers to achieving greater independence. You will have an in-depth knowledge of best-practice and current thinking when working with vulnerable people or families facing homelessness, who require support with mental-health, substance misuse, a history of offending and other needs.

Drawing on your knowledge of safeguarding, housing benefit, Universal Credit and mental health, drug and alcohol specialist interventions to support your team to perform at the highest level, meeting and exceeding the expectations of internal and external stakeholders. This is a new role in a specialist team and not one which will see you stepping too far back from those who we support. So you will not only be managing the team who are supporting those experiencing homelessness and multiple disadvantage, but also supporting a small complex caseload yourself. You will be joining us at a very exciting time as we pursue significant growth across our services to develop accommodations options integrated with support, giving you a unique opportunity to use your knowledge and experience to help shape an amazing service for the future. To act as an ambassador for The Housing Network, to promote its mission and values. Being respectful and kind is at the heart of everything that we do. Main Duties - What needs to be done?
