Customer service management jobs

Manchester Central Foodbank is a busy Trussell Trust-affiliated food bank, with centres in Central, North, and East Manchester. We were established in Ardwick in 2013 by students at the Manchester Universities’ Catholic Chaplaincy, making us the first student-led food bank in the country. Since then we have grown significantly, expanding our weekly sessions into Harpurhey and Openshaw.

Our core aims are to deliver the best quality support that we can to the largest number of our neighbours in need, while working with partners and influencing and organising at a neighbourhood and citywide level to reduce and end the need for food banks in Manchester.

We currently support 16,000 people per year with nutritionally balanced 3-day food parcels. This is double the number of people we supported in the first year following the Covid-19 pandemic, and four times the number supported in 2019. We also provide financial inclusion support with advice workers in public sessions, access to energy vouchers, SIM cards, and other voucher or material support. We coordinate across a network of 200 active front-line referral agencies with the aim of ensuring everyone who accesses our service has appropriate, specialised, and ongoing support alongside the material provision that we provide.

We are active leaders in anti-poverty organising and community development, as convenors of the city-wide Building an Anti-Poverty Community collective and aim to be key shapers and influencers of new strategies and policies, working closely to support and influence local government, NHS, education, and research agendas in Manchester and more widely, building upon our track record of successful anti-poverty partnership work, social value impact, and Parliamentary influencing.

You’ll work with teams across Commercial to map, develop and improve supporter engagement journeys, turning strategy, insight and campaign learning into practical plans that strengthen relevance, supporter experience and long-term value.

About the Role

As Supporter Journey lead, you’ll lead the mapping, development and ongoing improvement of supporter engagement journeys across Commercial.

You’ll work with product owners, delivery teams and enabling colleagues to understand current journeys, define target journeys, identify pain points and opportunities, and turn strategy, audience insight and campaign learning into clear, practical plans.

In this role, you will:

• Map and maintain current and target supporter journeys across Commercial, defining key stages, touchpoints, triggers, handoffs and moments that matter.
• Run journey mapping, process discovery and improvement workshops to identify pain points, gaps, opportunities and inconsistencies.
• Work with product owners and relevant teams to define journey requirements for campaigns, communications, process changes, data capture and operational improvements.

• Use campaign learning, supporter feedback and operational insight to identify where journeys should be adjusted, strengthened or simplified over time.

About You

Are you someone who enjoys understanding how people experience an organisation across different touchpoints, channels and moments?

Do you like bringing people together to map journeys, uncover pain points and turn ideas, insight and learning into practical improvements?

You’ll be confident working across supporter, customer or audience journeys, with a good understanding of how touchpoints, handoffs, segmentation and communications shape experience.

You’ll be comfortable working with product owners and delivery teams to define clear requirements, actions and workplans, while keeping activity aligned, realistic and deliverable.

You’ll also be someone who can use campaign learning, supporter feedback and basic performance information to identify where journeys could be strengthened, simplified or made more relevant.

Essentially, we’re looking for someone who is supporter-focused, organised, collaborative and practical — with the facilitation and relationship-building skills to help teams improve journeys and create better experiences over time.

About the Team

Supporter Experience is a newly formed department within Commercial, created to help us better understand, engage, support and motivate our supporters.

We’re a collaborative and developing team, working across Commercial to shape more joined-up, relevant and thoughtful supporter journeys.

Additional role requirements:
As this role is working with residents requiring extra support, you are required to have a current Enhanced DBS without Barred List check

Do you thrive on making a real difference to people’s lives every day? Can you bring empathy, organisation, and a passion for community into a role that truly matters?

We’re looking for an Extra Care Scheme Officer to join our team, supporting residents to live independently while feeling safe, connected, and supported within their community. This is a hands-on, people-focused role where no two days are the same — from tenancy management to wellbeing support, you’ll play a key part in creating a positive living environment.

This isn’t your typical housing role. It’s about more than managing tenancies — it’s about building relationships, supporting independence, and helping residents lead fulfilling lives within a vibrant scheme.

What’s in it for you….

In addition to the salary, we offer a number of benefits, including:

• High street discount schemes
• Health cash plans
• 26 days’ annual leave, increasing to 29 after three years, with the opportunity to buy more
• Flexible bank holidays – take them when it suits you
• Car leasing scheme
• Hybrid working – offering you the flexibility to thrive in your role. You'll have the opportunity to blend the best of both worlds, spending approximately two to three days per week in the office once settled in the role. This is flexible and depends on meeting cycles and board activity. We also offer an optional nine-day fortnight scheme, allowing you to compress your hours if it suits the role.

What you’ll be doing……

• Deliver day-to-day housing and scheme management to support residents’ independence
• Monitor rent accounts and support residents to manage payments and avoid arrears
• Work closely with Adult Social Care, support providers, and external partners
• Respond to emergency calls and carry out welfare checks when needed
• Support tenancy processes including sign-ups, viewings, and compliance
• Maintain communal areas and oversee contractors to ensure a safe, clean environment
• Build strong relationships with residents, providing advice and resolving issues
• Encourage and support community engagement and social activities within the scheme

What we’re looking for:

You’ll be someone who genuinely enjoys working with people and takes pride in delivering a great service. You might already have experience in housing, care, or a customer-focused role — or be looking to bring transferable skills into a meaningful environment.

We’re particularly interested in someone who:

• Has a good understanding of housing management or experience in a similar setting
• Is confident communicating with a wide range of people, including vulnerable residents
• Can balance empathy with professionalism when handling sensitive situations
• Is organised, able to prioritise tasks, and comfortable working independently
• Has experience (or an interest) in supporting residents with tenancy, wellbeing, or financial matters
• Is comfortable using IT systems and keeping accurate records
• Is flexible and willing to be part of a 24/7 rota, including sleep-ins or waking nights if required
• Speaks Asian language (desirable)

If you have relevant qualifications (such as A-levels or equivalent) and experience in housing or a related sector, that’s great — but just as important is your attitude and commitment to making a difference.

If specific qualifications are required, please upload them with your application to demonstrate your eligibility.

At PA Housing, we believe in respect, integrity, and accountability. Our work is about people – not just properties – and we’re always looking for ways to do better. If that sounds like your kind of place, we’d love to hear from you.
