Contract (Until March 2029, with potential for extension)
Job description

Lead the next chapter of homelessness and support services in Exmouth.
Join Open Door Exmouth as we expand our services, launch a new Support Hub and strengthen pathways from crisis to stability and hope. 

Open Door Exmouth has supported local people for over 30 years. What began as a homeless drop-in has grown into a multi-service charity delivering practical support, trusted relationships and opportunities for people to move forward with dignity and hope. Today, our services include a Community Café, Support Service, Parent Hub, Youth Service, Community Craft Room and Men's Shed. Rooted in Christian values, we are committed to creating safe, welcoming and non-judgemental spaces where people can access support and belonging. 

We are seeking an exceptional Homelessness Support Services Manager to lead and develop our growing homelessness and support services. This is a new senior leadership role created through the Ending Homelessness in Communities Fund (EHCF), which will expand our support offer and establish a new five-day Support Hub.

Reporting directly to the CEO, you will provide strategic and operational leadership across our homelessness and support services. You will lead a dedicated team, oversee safeguarding and quality assurance, strengthen tenancy sustainment and homelessness prevention work, develop partnerships across housing, health and the voluntary sector, and ensure services deliver meaningful outcomes for people facing homelessness, crisis and multiple disadvantage. 

This role offers a rare opportunity to help shape the future of homelessness support in Exmouth, influence local partnership working, and lead a service that combines compassion, practical support and long-term impact. 

If you are a compassionate, values-led leader with experience of homelessness, housing, community support, social care or a related field, we'd love to hear from you.
