ABOUT GROWTH
GrowTH is a Christian charity in Tower Hamlets, working with local churches to house and empower people experiencing homelessness to start a new life. Through shelter, advocacy, and supported housing, we create environments where people are welcomed, listened to, and supported as part of a community. Our aim is not only to meet immediate needs, but to help each person rediscover their self-worth, unlock their potential, and encounter the transforming love of Jesus.
SUMMARY OF SUPPORT & HOUSING MANAGER
The Support & Housing Manager is a management role responsible for leading frontline staff, overseeing the quality of frontline support, and ensuring GrowTH’s Housing Project and wider support work operate safely, effectively, and in alignment with GrowTH’s purpose: enabling people experiencing homelessness to receive an excellent quality of holistic support in the practical, emotional, and social areas of their lives – as well as to encounter Jesus and experience genuine life transformation.
The role ensures that services not only function well operationally, but consistently deliver on GrowTH’s mission, promise to people, and values – supporting individuals to move from crisis towards stability, community, and restored identity.
ABOUT FRONTLINE SERVICES

1. Night Shelter (church based, rotating model)
2. Housing Project
GrowTH’s Frontline Staff currently are:
1. Night Shelter Advocate Workers (x2)
2. Housing Worker (x1)
As GrowTH develops its new Hub model, the Support & Housing Manager will play a key role in ensuring that the Night Shelter, Housing Project, and wider support functions operate as part of one joined-up pathway. Through effective management of frontline staff, the role will help create a culture in which staff are developed in their roles, work closely together, share insight appropriately, collaborate around complex cases, and ensure that guests and residents experience consistent support as they move between different parts of GrowTH’s work.

3. Manage and support frontline staff in resolving operational issues and practical service delivery challenges.
4. Holding a small, focused frontline caseload, alongside their wider management responsibilities. This will include direct casework with a limited number of guests and residents, particularly within the Housing Project, where additional management input, continuity of support, or more complex casework is required. The S&HM will also work alongside frontline staff on complex cases, support plans, move-on planning, key meetings, and periods of increased frontline need, modelling high-quality, relational, well-recorded and appropriately boundaried support. This casework involvement should also be used to model good practice, strengthen casework quality, and support the development of frontline staff in their roles.
5. Manage and support frontline staff to improve the quality and effectiveness of guest and resident move-on by:
o Monitoring referral levels into services
o Monitoring move-on pathways and move-on discussions
o Assist frontline staff in identifying system blockages (e.g. move-on, referrals) and facilitating solutions to unblock them.
6. Ensuring consistency and clarity in how frontline services operate
7. Ensure GrowTH accommodation is safe, well maintained, and compliant with all relevant requirements.
8. Ensuring appropriate boundaries and expectations are maintained

Responsibilities include:
1. Providing overall day-to-day leadership and management of the Housing Project, ensuring it operates safely, consistently, and in line with GrowTH’s values, policies, and purpose.
