• Ensure compliance with safeguarding, housing management, health and safety, legal, contractual and organisational requirements, maintaining accurate oversight of governance and risk.

• Build and maintain strong partnerships with statutory, voluntary and community organisations to strengthen referral pathways into and out of safe accommodation and improve outcomes for survivors.
