Housing and Move-on Manager

For refugees and people seeking asylum, securing somewhere safe to stay is paramount.

Prospectus is proud to be working with our client, the UK's largest independent hosting charity, connecting those with a spare room in their home to people who need somewhere to stay. They are now looking to recruit a Housing and Move-On Manager, a brand new role for the organisation, working to develop independent housing and move-on opportunities for beneficiaries.

This is an exciting opportunity to fully shape the organisation's move-on services. As the organisation's new Housing and Move-on Manager you work as part of a small but incredibly impactful team, and your mission will be to build excellent relationships with housing and hostel accommodation providers across the UK in order to find ongoing accommodation for those looking to move on from the charity's temporary hosting services. Whilst you will not directly manage a team, you will work closely internally to understand the needs and challenges of beneficiaries and will support delivery staff in assisting beneficiaries with ongoing housing pathways. You'll use your knowledge and experience of statutory housing duties to ensure that those the organisation hosts receive the support that they are entitled to.

To apply for this exciting opportunity, you must have an excellent understanding of statutory housing in England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales and will have demonstrable experience of assisting people to find housing opportunities. You will have an entrepreneurial flare and will be able to demonstrate managing and developing a similar beneficiary-focussed programme (although it may be within a different sector). You will enjoy working autonomously and will be a proactive relationship builder, skilled at building and cultivating partnerships. We value diverse experience, so if you feel you have what it takes, reach out to us to discuss the role further as this truly is a unique opportunity.
