Description

This is an exciting opportunity to establish and lead a team of Intensive Housing Navigators, using a Housing First Approach to support people with a history of rough sleeping, to move into their own homes and sustain their tenancies.

This role will allow you to share your skills and experience, offering support to the team, as well as case working up to 3 service users, along with a trainee.

You will lead on the operational delivery of the service, providing line management to the team, as well as joint casework support with the trainee (up to 3 clients).
