Do you have excellent leadership skills, working knowledge of homelessness, housing and related issues affecting local communities and experience of managing and delivering contracts, partnerships or services? Then join Shelter as a Service Manager and you could soon be making the most of your expertise at the heart of our Sheffield Hub.

About Shelter
A home is a fundamental human need, as essential as education or healthcare. Yet millions of people across Britain struggle on a daily basis with homelessness, bad housing conditions, soaring rents, discrimination and the threat of eviction. So, we are striving for change, with individuals, in communities, across society, and leading the way to a safe home. We need ambitious, best-in-class individuals who are passionate about our cause to join us at this exciting time. This is your chance to play a part in the fundamental change we are striving to achieve.

At Shelter we are united by our purpose to defend the right to a safe home. Our enemy is the social injustice at the core of the escalating housing emergency. We believe that to win that fight, we must be representative of the people we are here to help and those who support our movement for change. In all our people decisions, we take pride in being inclusive, fair, equitable and transparent.

We have committed to combat racism both within and outside Shelter and welcome you on our journey to becoming a truly anti-racist organisation.

About the team
Shelter Sheffield has been providing housing advice and support to the city’s residents for over 20 years. Specialising in emergency homelessness work, intensive support to children and families, people experiencing domestic abuse and people with multiple and complex needs, our multi-disciplinary team takes a holistic approach to helping people to alleviate their housing issues. This includes providing high intensity support, legal representation, practical DIY assistance, and specialist housing, employment, training, and welfare benefits advice. Our aim is to help individuals to address a range of inter-connected issues that may be impacting on their ability to sustain accommodation and thrive within the community. We currently provide frontline support to over 5,000 people a year whilst simultaneously working to improve the underlying systems that prevent people from living securely in suitable, safe, affordable accommodation. 

About the role
A new position, but not a new role, as our second Service Manager, you’ll work closely with the current one in a varied and complex role that also involves deputising for the Hub Manager when necessary. Day-to-day, you’ll lead on delivering our services, both Housing Support and Advice, and line-manage Team Leaders and designated functions while ensuring service delivery meets high quality standards and is contract compliant. We’ll also rely on you to oversee the monitoring and reporting of our work, take delegated financial responsibility and work closely with partners, commissioners and other stakeholders to ensure our services are aligned and impactful. In short, it’s a key role in linking up the national campaigning and policy work we undertake with local activity and insight and ensuring we co-produce our activities and involve people with lived experience fully in our work.

We are happy to talk about flexible working, personal growth, and to promote a workplace where you can be yourself and achieve success based only on your merit.

About you
As well as relevant experience that includes being involved in implementing and reviewing change management, you’ll need a proven ability to lead and support staff and manage budgets and financial reports. You’ll also need the communication skills it takes to proactively develop and maintain key relationships and a flair for taking a strategic approach to developing new ones while ensuring they are aligned with local strategic priorities. A demonstrable ability to understand and apply relevant health and safety, safeguarding and data protection legislation and policy is important too, as are the analytical skills to use insight and evidence to present data, manage performance and improve services.

Benefits
We offer a wide range of benefits, including 30 days of annual leave, enhanced family friendly policies, pension and interest free travel loans. Our employees also have access to a tenancy deposit loan, payroll giving, cycle to work scheme and an employee assistance programme.
 
Shelter helps millions of people every year struggling with bad housing or homelessness through our advice, support and legal services. And we campaign to make sure that, one day, no one will have to turn to us for help. We’re here so no one has to fight bad housing or homelessness on their own.
 
To find out more about the role and the benefits of working for Shelter please visit our website. Apply to be part of our team and be the change you want to see in society.
 
Safeguarding is everyone's business. Shelter is committed to protecting the health, wellbeing and human rights of those we support, and enabling them to live free from harm, abuse and neglect. All our staff will be expected to observe professional standards of behaviour and conduct their work in line with our Safeguarding Policies.
