You've got an in-depth understanding of mental health issues and substantial experience of working in a Housing and Social Care setting. All you need is the perfect environment to put your skills to great use. Welcome to Richmond Fellowship as Service Manager.

Right now, we're looking for someone like you to manage the day-to-day running of our Supported Housing services, in Southend. As well as ensuring the quality of service and support provided to people who use our services, we'll rely on you to manage service contracts, line manage front line staff and organise any building maintenance requirements. Whether you're carrying out an induction, undertaking an investigation, putting team development plans in place or providing support to our business development team, one thing's for sure - you won't be short of challenge and variety.

Substantial experience gained managing a caseload of individuals with complex needs is a given, as well as being outcome driven and able to lead by example using your firm but inclusive management style. Some experience of housing management is desirable, but not essential. You're open and encouraging too and have lots of tact and diplomacy. What's more, you're great at managing conflicting priorities on time, have a flexible attitude to working hours and are willing to participate in on call arrangements. And, if you have experience of carrying out investigations, writing reports/recommendations or managing budgets, even better, although it's not essential.

We are committed to increasing our diversity and welcome applications from those with Lived Experience.

This is a permanent full time role requiring the post holder to work 37.5 hours per week.

Richmond Fellowship is part of Recovery Focus, a national group of charities highly experienced in providing specialist support services to individuals and families living with the effects of mental ill health, drug and alcohol use, gambling and domestic violence.

To apply, please send a CV and covering letter explaining why you feel you are right for the role.
