Build positive relationships with residents, providing housing-related support and signposting to relevant services where appropriate. 
Support individuals with complex needs to sustain their accommodation while ensuring adherence to licence agreements and house rules. 
Respond effectively to incidents, anti-social behaviour, and emergency situations, promoting positive outcomes and conflict resolution. 
Maintain accurate records, meet service delivery targets, and ensure compliance with company policies, safeguarding requirements, and operational procedures. 
Participate in training and development activities to support continuous professional growth.  About You
 We are looking for someone who is compassionate, organised, resilient, and able to work confidently in a challenging but highly rewarding environment.
 Essential Skills & Experience
  
Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal. 
Strong organisational and time-management abilities. 
Ability to work independently and manage competing priorities. 
Experience working within social housing, supported housing, homelessness services, or a related field. 
Experience supporting individuals with complex needs, trauma, or multiple disadvantages. 
Full UK driving licence and willingness to travel extensively within the region.

Knowledge of probation services or experience supporting individuals involved with the criminal justice system. 
Understanding of housing legislation and tenancy sustainment. 
Experience managing challenging behaviour and conflict resolution.  What We Offer
  
Salary of £28,000 per annum. 
A rewarding role where you can make a genuine difference in people's lives. 
Ongoing training and professional development opportunities. 
Supportive management and team environment. 
Opportunities for progression within a growing organisation.
