Ready to take the next step into housing management? This could be the perfect next step if you're already working in supported housing and are ready to develop your leadership skills while remaining hands-on with supporting residents.
Make a real difference, every day
At TACT, you'll manage our recovery-focused supported housing service, supporting adults affected by addiction and mental health difficulties. We provide safe accommodation alongside housing-related support, helping people sustain their tenancy, build independence and move forward in recovery. Residents live independently within shared accommodation, supported to achieve their recovery goals rather than receiving day-to-day personal care. We're experts by experience — we understand when others don't. Our work is challenging, rewarding and occasionally chaotic. You'll need resilience, authenticity and a sense of humour, with the ability to build genuine relationships while maintaining professional boundaries.
About the role
You'll manage 17 supported housing places across five shared properties in Telford, leading a small team delivering high quality housing management and trauma-informed support. This is a hands-on role!
Alongside managing properties, referrals, occupancy, Housing Benefit and partnerships, you'll supervise and develop your team, providing practical guidance on everything from day-to-day housing issues to safeguarding, risk management and complex resident situations.
Working alongside Y Housing as our Registered Provider of Social Housing, you'll help ensure our homes remain safe, compliant and recovery-focused. We're looking for someone with experience in supported housing, homelessness or housing-related support who is ready to make a real difference.
Whether you're already managing a supported housing service or looking to take your next step into management, you'll have the opportunity to shape a service, support a great team and help people rebuild their lives.
Your key responsibilities will include
• Managing the day-to-day operation of TACT's supported housing service
• Leading, supervising and developing a team of Housing Workers and volunteers
• Overseeing referrals, assessments, sign-ups, move on, warnings and notices
• Supporting residents to sustain tenancies, maximise income and achieve recovery goals
• Managing occupancy, voids, rent accounts, compliance and property standards
• Responding to safeguarding concerns, incidents and complex resident situations
• Working closely with Y Housing, local authorities, treatment providers and partner agencies
• Producing reports, performance information and service data to support continuous improvement
If you have these essential skills:
• Experience of supported housing, housing-related support, tenancy sustainment or supported accommodation services
• Experience supporting adults affected by addiction, mental health difficulties or other complex social needs
• Relevant Level 4 Housing qualification (or you’re willing and able to start this by October 2026)
• Strong understanding of safeguarding, risk management and professional boundaries
Ability to remain calm, resilient and professional when managing challenging situations
• Excellent communication, organisational and leadership skills
• Ability to build genuine, trusting relationships whilst maintaining accountability and boundaries
• Good IT skills and experience maintaining accurate records
• Full UK driving licence and access to your own transport
• Willingness to participate in an out-of-hours on-call rota
we'd love to hear from you. You don't need to tick every box. If you think you have the right values, skills and experience, we'd encourage you to apply.
We'd love it you also have:
• Relevant lived experience of addiction recovery, mental health difficulties or other complex social needs
• Experience supervising, coordinating or line managing staff, volunteers or placements
• Other housing, health and social care or similar qualifications or training
• Leadership, management or coaching qualifications
• Knowledge of peer support, recovery communities or the voluntary sector
What we offer
• Enhanced annual leave entitlement and family friendly policies
• Employee Assistance Programme (EAP)
• A discount scheme for shopping, days out and essentials
