Social work manager jobs

We're growing our amazing team and looking to recruit two fabulous new staff who want to work alongside people as they find their pathway to travel out of homelessness.

The 999 Club

The Intervention Team

Working alongside the Essential Services Team and an amazing team of volunteers the Intervention Team provide triage, assessment, holistic progression planning, advocacy and support for members of the Gateway, identifying and addressing their immediate housing situation as well as wider social, health and wellbeing issues with the ultimate aim of them finding a pathway out of homelessness.

Manchester Histories are seeking a highly motivated project manager to lead the ‘This is Us’ project, ensuring it meets its objectives within scope, time, and budget. You will coordinate stakeholders, volunteers, artists, and community groups, oversee programming, manage budgets, and support the engagement of diverse audiences, with a strong focus on inclusion, representation, and the sensitive navigation of complex histories and legacies. 

This is Us: Tracing Manchester’s Histories seeks to reshape and redefine how Manchester’s public realm reflects its rich and diverse history. Building on insights from extensive public consultations, the project will amplify underrepresented voices and confront complex legacies, including those tied to migration, the transatlantic slave trade and industrial exploitation.

By fostering collaboration among community groups, academic institutions, cultural partners and local authorities, the initiative will create an inclusive digital platform for storytelling and dialogue.

Through digital innovation and community-driven activities, the project will celebrate overlooked stories, support learning, and ensure accessibility for all. The project will empower communities to actively engage with their heritage, fostering pride and a shared sense of belonging. Ultimately, it aspires to transform public spaces into more accurate and inspiring reflections of Manchester’s diversity, making a lasting contribution to cultural equity and inclusivity. 

This project is funded by The National Heritage Lottery Fund, Manchester City Council and partners. Thanks to National Lottery Players.
