This is a senior, and brand-new role to Refugees at Home. We’re looking for someone with demonstrable experience of helping people find permanent accommodation to come into our team to assist our guests directly and upskill colleagues across the organisation to assist our guests to move on from hosting.
We have ambitious plans to increase the number of guests we host, but this is only going to be possible if we provide ways in which guests can move on from their temporary hosting placements. With increasing numbers of housing providers and advice services being overwhelmed, we plan to develop our own support for our guests who self-refer into Refugees at Home.
The new Housing and Move-on Manager will be able to fully shape the service we offer, working closely with our Placement Team Manager to understand the needs and challenges of our guests. You’ll be working with Placement Coordinators to help them understand and create realistic move on plans for our guests.
You will be building excellent relationships with housing and hostel accommodation providers across the UK to find new ways of finding ongoing accommodation for our guests. You’ll use your knowledge and experience of statutory housing duties to ensure those we host who are entitled to support receive it. You’ll be working with guests and our Placement team to upskill them on avenues to privately renting accommodation.
This is likely to be a role which changes over time, so we are looking for someone ready for this, bringing innovative solutions so that we can ensure that hosting remains a temporary stop gap for refugees.
Our work is underpinned by trauma-informed working, and you will be continuing this through your work with guests.
Our team are based in Brixton, South London for part of the week, we are able to offer other flexibility on location of work for the right candidate.
Please send us your CV and a cover letter, detailing how your skills and experience meet the requirements of the role, and why you'd be a great addition to our team.
