You have an excellent understanding of mental health issues, substantial experience of working in a housing and social care environment and the ability to lead a team by example.
You'd also like to be part of an organisation that counts on the professionalism, insight, expertise and passion of its staff to inspire individual recovery for the people they work with.
Welcome to Waythrough as a Team Manager.
Princess Court is a 24-hour Mental Health Supported Housing Service that provides a person-centred holistic approach to promote the recovery of the people who live here and help them regain their independence.
The individuals entering the service have high-level support and care needs that can include serious mental illness and/or a history of substance misuse.
Our role is to support them, identify and meet their diverse needs and help them on their personalised recovery journey.
This challenging front line role comes with responsibility for the day-to-day management of the service, contracts, staff and building maintenance.
As well as ensuring the very best delivery and offering direct employment support to Service Users, you'll be responsible for promoting the service and managing all referrals.
Line managing and provide supervision to front-line staff, providing individual and group support sessions to Service Users, ensuring data entry to MI & reporting systems is accurate and timely, and taking responsibility for the service budget – these are just some aspects of this varied and vital leadership role.
To succeed, you'll need a proven relevant background that includes experience of managing a caseload of individual with complex needs and experience of carrying out investigations and writing reports and recommendations and managing a budget.
More important however, is your ability to lead, supervise and motivate staff and delegate work appropriately and managing conflicting demands and priorities in a timely manner.
A flexible attitude to working hours are essential attributes too, as is tact and diplomacy and a firm but inclusive management style and open and encouraging demeanour.
In return for your skills and enthusiasm, this role comes with some really great benefits and excellent training and development opportunities.

On 1st June 2024, Richmond Fellowship, part of Recovery Focus, a national group of charities highly experienced in providing specialist support services to individuals and families living with the effects of mental ill health, drug and alcohol use, gambling and domestic violence merged with Humankind to form a single organisation that provides the joined-up mental health, housing and drug and alcohol support we've all known has been needed for decades.
In October 2024, Humankind was renamed Waythrough to reflect the new organisation.
