The Senior Housing Advisor at SSAFA’s Glasgow’s Helping Heroes (GHH) leads the delivery of high‑quality, person‑centred housing and homelessness support for members of the Armed Forces community at risk of homelessness. The postholder provides professional oversight of housing advice, casework and tenancy sustainment, setting clear standards for inclusive practice and addressing barriers to housing.

The role involves supporting triage, allocating and monitoring caseloads, and guiding staff on complex and high‑risk cases. Alongside holding a caseload, the postholder focuses on quality assurance, escalation, problem‑solving and service development.

The postholder will oversee the use of rent deposit, first‑month rent and emergency accommodation funding, ensuring fair and transparent decision‑making, and contributes to tenancy sustainment outcomes, service planning and reporting. This role combines leadership with operational oversight, supporting staff development, safeguarding and data quality while playing a key role in preventing homelessness and supporting veterans to secure and sustain safe housing.

This is a community‑based role involving citywide travel, outreach work and home visits, requiring flexibility to respond to urgent or changing needs.

As a pet‑friendly service, GHH regularly supports beneficiaries who may have assistance or support animals.

About the Team

GHH, based at the Pearce Institute in Govan and delivered in partnership with SSAFA and Glasgow City Council, provides trusted support to serving personnel, veterans, and their families. Our trauma‑informed, holistic approach offers wraparound assistance that addresses housing needs alongside wider wellbeing challenges, helping beneficiaries build resilience and sustain long‑term housing solutions.

The service operates a gateway model, giving the Armed Forces community a single point of contact for housing, financial, employability and wider support.

You’ll be part of a highly collaborative network, working closely with local and national partners such as Citizens Advice Scotland, Veterans Housing Scotland, Erskine, Scottish Veterans Residences, Defence Medical Welfare Services, Homeless Casework Teams and Homeless Network Scotland. The role also involves attending stakeholder events that may occasionally fall outside of standard office hours.  

About you

You’ll be a proactive, organised and compassionate professional, with the resilience and judgement needed to thrive in a demanding, community‑focused role. You’ll have a clear commitment to improving outcomes for members of the Armed Forces community and a strong sense of integrity as priorities and demands change.

You’ll be confident managing your own workload while supporting and overseeing the work of others, creating a safe, supportive and accountable working environment. With a clear understanding of the pressures involved in working with people in crisis, you’ll be able to adapt your approach to risk, urgency and complexity, confidently managing high‑risk situations and supporting sound decision‑making. You’ll maintain high standards in safeguarding, data quality and professional boundaries at all times.

You’ll manage a varied caseload and deliver person‑centred support, working closely with local authorities, landlords and partner agencies. Strong communication, problem‑solving and organisational skills are essential.

A CIH Level 2 or 3 qualification is essential, alongside experience of delivering housing advice, homelessness prevention and/or tenancy sustainment support.

This is a pivotal role at the heart of Resonate Arts, supporting the smooth, safe and effective running of our organisation. The Operations & Systems Coordinator will take ownership of the administrative and operational systems that underpin our work. From financial processes and participant data to governance and communications, you will ensure that our systems are accurate, efficient and well-organised.

Your work will enable the wider team—particularly the Director—to focus on delivering high-quality, person-centred arts programmes for people living with dementia, and on securing the organisation’s long-term sustainability.

This is a hands-on role combining administration, systems management and coordination. It offers the opportunity to play a key part in strengthening how the organisation works, helping us to grow our impact while maintaining high standards of care, safety and accountability.

This role is a unique and exciting opportunity for a passionate, hands-on Chef and Trainer to join our rapidly growing charity and support our mission to transform kids’ health through food in schools in a new region. This role will be critical in delivering our flagship programme Transformations and work directly with school kitchen teams across the North West and North East of England.

Who we are
Chefs in Schools is a young, ambitious charity that’s rapidly growing. Our mission is to improve kids’ health, through improving school food & food education. We focus our efforts in areas of high socio-economic deprivation, where more than a third of children are entitled to free school meals, and diet-related disease is driving further inequality. We support and train school kitchen teams to serve the best, freshest and tastiest food possible, alongside meaningful food education. We share learning and resources, aiming  to inspire and enable others to follow our lead. We’re backed by some of the biggest names in food and have ambitious targets to ensure every child has access to incredible school food and food education, setting them up for life with the skills and knowledge to feed themselves well.

 About you and the role

This role is responsible for the delivery and continuous improvement of the Chefs in Schools Transformation Programme across the North West and North East of England. The Transformation Programme is our flagship year-long initiative, designed to support school kitchen teams and senior leadership teams in serving the best, freshest, and most nutritious food possible. Through this programme, we transform school lunches, upskill kitchen staff, and integrate food education into the heart of the school culture, ensuring that high-quality, scratch-cooked meals become the standard for every pupil.

As a Chef Trainer, you will act as a pivotal, hands-on ambassador for this mission, supporting kitchen teams, school leadership and the wider school community to embed a high quality, sustainable school food culture in schools. You will support development of the programme’s pipeline and join a brilliant, passionate and experienced team of Chef Trainers, with the opportunity to connect, share and learn from one another.

A key component of this role involves being based in schools for 2–3 weeks at a time, working directly on-site to implement the programme. You will travel to different locations across the North West and North East, supporting schools to build high-quality, sustainable food cultures. During your first year, the focus will be specifically on the North West region,  ranging from Manchester to the Wirral, where you will help establish Chefs in Schools’ reputation for positive change.
