  • Develop, coach and inspire senior leaders, fostering a high‑performing, values‑driven culture

About You

You will be a credible, values‑led leader with a strong background in regulated services and a passion for quality and safeguarding.

Essential experience and qualifications include:

  • Senior leadership experience within supported housing, homelessness or a closely related regulated sector

  • Health & Safety qualification (IOSH Managing Safely or equivalent)

You will also bring:

  • Strategic thinking with the ability to translate vision into practical delivery
