Project Manager - Community Based Services - Caring for Communities and People : Job Details

Are you passionate about supporting homeless people with complex needs, and histories of entrenched or repeated homelessness to sustain their tenancies or exit a street lifestyle?

We are looking for a driven individual to help us deliver a gold standard service.

An excellent opportunity has arisen within Worcestershire for an experienced Project Manager to join our highly successful Homelessness Prevention Service. The service also delivers the SWEP Night Shelters across the six districts within the County.

You'll need to have a flexible approach to working, to meet the needs of the service and be highly responsive to referrals for homelessness across Worcestershire. The ideal candidate will have relevant homelessness service experience. Travel will be required between service areas and occasionally the head office in Gloucestershire so you will need to hold a full UK driving licence and have their own transport.

The role will also include line management of a team of dedicated Seniors, Co-ordinators and Support Workers who are delivering the service, working in partnership with Stakeholders, Statutory and non-statutory partners, and reporting on internal and external contractual KPI's, legal and quality audit requirements.

You'll have an opportunity to expand services that make a real difference in the lives of rough sleepers and people who are currently homeless or at risk of losing tenancies.

Come and join a Charity focused on people rather than profit.
