About The Role

It does not matter whether your route into leadership has been through housing, social care, homelessness, youth support or community services, if you care about young people having a safe, supportive place to call home, and you know how to lead a team with compassion, clarity and purpose, this could be the next move for you.

Supported Accommodation South Ayrshire helps reduce repeat homelessness by providing high-quality housing support in Ayr. As Service Manager, you will lead the delivery of a safe, person-centred and strengths-based service for young people experiencing homelessness, including those moving from temporary accommodation into permanent or longer-term suitable housing.

You will report to the Locality Manager and lead a team that includes a Senior Support Worker and Support Workers. You will create the conditions for colleagues to do their best work, while ensuring the people we support are treated with unconditional positive regard and receive support that reflects their individual needs, strengths and aspirations.

What you’ll bring

You may already be managing a housing, social care or support service, or you may be ready for a broader leadership role where your judgement, organisation and values-led practice can make a real difference. We are interested in the experience you bring, the way you work with people and your commitment to learning.

• You hold, or meet the minimum requirement to hold, SVQ 3 in Social Services and Health Care at SCQF Level 7 or HNC in Social Services, enabling registration as a manager with the Care Inspectorate.

Experience in third sector, housing, social care, support services, youth work, community services, partnership working, service planning or people management could all be relevant. If this role excites you but you do not meet every point, we still encourage you to apply.
