Join Our Team as Service Manager for Housing and make a difference that matters
As our Service Manager for Housing, you will do more than oversee housing services — you will transform lives, foster independence, and make a lasting impact on the people and communities who draw on the care and support they need, in the way that they need it.
By adopting a person-centred approach, you will lead parts of the housing transformation programme, ensuring responsive, effective, and safe housing services that meet individual needs.
If you're ready to take on a pivotal strategic role and make a real difference by shaping housing delivery on the Island, this is your chance to join our ambitious team.

Be part of the senior team and drive positive change. You'll play a fundamental part in shaping services and making decisions that truly count and be given the opportunity to lead and inspire your team to deliver exceptional housing services for the local community.
- Positive Impact:
Every day, you'll see the difference your work makes— through supporting vulnerable residents and improving housing standards. With your ability to think strategically and act with empathy, you will join a team whose driving purpose is to create a bright future for those who draw on our service.
- Supportive Environment:
You'll join a team that values collaboration, innovation, and your professional growth. We will provide all the tools and guidance you need to excel.
We are looking for a dynamic, innovative and effective leader for this crucial role, to lead, develop and operationally manage three housing teams: Housing Options, Housing Delivery and Choice Based Lettings.
You will need
- A Degree in housing related area (or equivalent qualification).
- Detailed knowledge of housing issues, national guidance and statutory requirements
- Substantial experience of working in complex and sensitive situations, in a calm and proactive manner.
- Extensive understanding of homelessness and /or housing renewal.
- Experience of change management and enhancing organisational performance
