4 Service manager jobs in Bristol, City of Bristol

Are you ready to lead a new regional service supporting people sleeping rough in Bristol and the West of England?

We are looking for a talented Team Manager who will lead a new regional service delivered by St Mungo’s and 4 partner organisations. The service will support people facing the greatest barriers to accessing and sustaining accommodation across Bath and North East Somerset, Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire.

• Set up partnerships with statutory and VCFS organisations to support people with needs spanning many domains of multiple disadvantage and social exclusion.
• Set up new multi-agency case review meetings in North Somerset, South Gloucestershire and Bath and North East Somerset, and work closely with the existing multi-agency case review meeting in Bristol.
• Contribute to the promotion, strategic and operational planning of the service, setting up strategic steering group meetings in each area and driving forwards system change when blocks and/or barriers are encountered.

The role will be based at St Mungo’s offices in central Bristol, with regular travel within Bath and North-East Somerset, Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire.
