You will have good leadership skills and experience of managing a team in a public sector organisation. Confident and experienced, you will be comfortable managing a team working under high demand at the forefront of the service. You will possess in-depth knowledge of the strategies for preventing homelessness and the main housing options initiatives provided by statutory and voluntary organisations, and of housing legislation and its implications upon local authorities and housing providers. You will be ambitious and willing to lead on new, innovative ways of working at the cutting edge of practice in this area. You may have an existing background in the homelessness sector and are seeking to take on the next challenge in your career in the sector.
