Team Manager – Women’s Pathway

Do you have the resilience and motivation to lead a new enhanced semi-independent service in Bristol?

We are looking for a Team Manager to join the Bristol Women’s Pathway. In this role you will oversee a new semi-independent service designed to support people with medium/high support needs who may have experienced barriers in accessing pathways or challenges maintaining stability in other supported accommodation settings. The service is made up of a group of small, accessible 10 bed or self-contained units where clients will be supported to maintain their accommodation and recovery through an asset based and fully trauma informed approach. The team will work with a focus on initial stabilising, moving to building hope, ambition and self-worth/esteem in an individual and person-centred way.

The semi-independent service will provide support during office hours, and from an additional team of support staff who will work across each service through the night and over weekends and bank holidays to ensure support is regularly available to clients at all times.

The Team Manager will be responsible for the day to day running of the service, ensuring consistent, safe and high-quality support is provided to clients. In addition, you will:

• Provide line management and regular support and supervision to the team, including day, weekend and night staff.
• Complete reporting and analysis, ensuring monitoring and evaluation regularly takes place, ensuring the service is meeting commissioner targets and milestones.
• Use Restorative Approaches to minimise conflict, including offering restorative meetings between clients and members of the local community. 

In this role you will work across different sites, our semi-independent housing stretches from South to East Bristol, with typical office working hours. However, due to the nature of the service you will be required to work some evenings and weekends to support staff.

About you

We are looking for a highly motivated individual with experience of leading a service delivery team in either a supported housing, advice, homelessness, care or other relevant environment. You will have: 

• Experience of managing staff and/or volunteers in a fast-paced environment, with multiple competing priorities or the willingness to develop these skills.
• Experience of multi-agency working, managing staff working across multiple services, using a hybrid model to support staff.
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to build and maintain relationships with a variety of people.

*For genuine occupational requirement reasons, we are looking to appoint a female only for this post (exemption under the Equality Act 2010 Part 1 Schedule 9)
