We are looking for a CEO who shares our values, inspires others and can lead with vision, compassion and determination.
This is a hands-on, outward-facing role, leading from the front, championing First Step’s profile within the community and igniting the interest of existing and potential supporters and donors. You will need to:
- Inspire, energise and direct the First Step team of staff and volunteers, to consistently deliver outstanding support for families of children with special needs and or disabilities

- Shape and communicate a strong strategy and vision, ensuring that every aspect of our work aligns seamlessly with First Step’s objectives and values
- Actively seek out and embrace new possibilities to expand and enhance services, driving innovation to ensure the organisation continues to make a meaningful difference to the community
As we follow the recruitment requirements of Keeping Children Safe in Education we do require a fully completed application with a full education and working history with any gaps explained. A supplimentary CV can also be provided for additional information, but not in place of a fully completed Application Form.
At First Step, safeguarding children and vulnerable adults is at the core of everything we do.

We’re looking for an Extra Care Scheme Officer to join our team, supporting residents to live independently while feeling safe, connected, and supported within their community. This is a hands-on, people-focused role where no two days are the same — from tenancy management to wellbeing support, you’ll play a key part in creating a positive living environment.
This isn’t your typical housing role. It’s about more than managing tenancies — it’s about building relationships, supporting independence, and helping residents lead fulfilling lives within a vibrant scheme.
What’s in it for you….
In addition to the salary, we offer a number of benefits, including:
- High street discount schemes
- Health cash plans
- 26 days’ annual leave, increasing to 29 after three years, with the opportunity to buy more
- Flexible bank holidays – take them when it suits you
- Car leasing scheme
- Hybrid working – offering you the flexibility to thrive in your role. You'll have the opportunity to blend the best of both worlds, spending approximately two to three days per week in the office once settled in the role.

What you’ll be doing……
- Deliver day-to-day housing and scheme management to support residents’ independence
- Monitor rent accounts and support residents to manage payments and avoid arrears
- Work closely with Adult Social Care, support providers, and external partners
- Respond to emergency calls and carry out welfare checks when needed
- Support tenancy processes including sign-ups, viewings, and compliance
- Maintain communal areas and oversee contractors to ensure a safe, clean environment
- Build strong relationships with residents, providing advice and resolving issues
- Encourage and support community engagement and social activities within the scheme
What we’re looking for:
You’ll be someone who genuinely enjoys working with people and takes pride in delivering a great service. You might already have experience in housing, care, or a customer-focused role — or be looking to bring transferable skills into a meaningful environment.
We’re particularly interested in someone who:
- Has a good understanding of housing management or experience in a similar setting
- Is confident communicating with a wide range of people, including vulnerable residents
- Can balance empathy with professionalism when handling sensitive situations
- Is organised, able to prioritise tasks, and comfortable working independently
- Has experience (or an interest) in supporting residents with tenancy, wellbeing, or financial matters
- Is comfortable using IT systems and keeping accurate records
- Is flexible and willing to be part of a 24/7 rota, including sleep-ins or waking nights if required
- Speaks Asian language (desirable)
If you have relevant qualifications (such as A-levels or equivalent) and experience in housing or a related sector, that’s great — but just as important is your attitude and commitment to making a difference.
If specific qualifications are required, please upload them with your application to demonstrate your eligibility.
At PA Housing, we believe in respect, integrity, and accountability. Our work is about people – not just properties – and we’re always looking for ways to do better. If that sounds like your kind of place, we’d love to hear from you.
