Regional Head

Are you ready to step into a high profile role where you will be responsible for the growth and development of services in Bristol and Bath and nearby areas?

This post is offered as a fixed term contract until 29 August 2025, or secondment for internal applicants.

We have an exciting opportunity for an inspirational leader to play a pivotal role in the management and successful growth of St Mungo’s Bristol and Bath sub region; making a difference in helping to end homelessness and rebuild lives. In this role you will provide effective leadership and management to ensure best practice across our services, so they are delivered to a consistently high standard. Key responsibilities will include:

• Implement an effective strategy for developing and growing the sub-region’s services, winning contracts for providing new services and retaining existing contracts to ensure the continued growth and ability to support homeless and vulnerable people.
• Oversee services which include either Rough Sleeping and Outreach Services or Accommodation based services including specific women only accommodation, as well as some services working with people with a primarily mental health need.  
• Maintain excellent partnership working with other service providers, local authorities and those with lived experience to shape and develop services to meet the individual and complex needs of our clients.

In this role you will be required to work in Bristol and Bath to support relevant services, however you can work flexibly from an office base in other locations such as London, Oxford or Reading. Further information to be provided at interview.   

About you

We are looking for an experienced leader who has overseen teams delivering services to groups of vulnerable clients, in either a supported housing, support, care or other relevant environment.

• You should demonstrate a track record of effective operational leadership and management of staff across dispersed locations, working through a line-management structure, including through a period of substantial change.
• Your business/service development experience will demonstrate your ability to successfully negotiate for contracts for the provision of services (either as a supplier or purchaser) and to win new business.
• You will have a person centred approach, and a genuine interest in putting clients at the centre of your work.

We are working hard to create a diverse and fully inclusive culture where everyone feels valued and we welcome applications from all under-represented groups, particularly Global Majority candidates who are underrepresented at this senior management level.
