About the role:

Step into a pivotal leadership opportunity at SHP and be part of shaping a dynamic new service at the forefront of tackling rough sleeping in Westminster. The Harrow Road Assessment Hub is a fast-paced, high-impact environment where lives are changed through rapid assessment, meaningful support, and timely resettlement. As Team Manager, you’ll be instrumental in guiding a committed team of frontline staff to deliver personalised, trauma-informed support that helps clients make real progress towards lasting stability and a place to call home.

This role offers the chance to grow your leadership skills in a setting that demands creativity, collaboration, and compassion. You'll oversee the daily rhythm of the service—ensuring assessments are swift and thorough, support planning is focused and effective, and move-on options are always progressing. You’ll work side by side with the Service Manager, connecting with partners across boroughs to achieve the best outcomes for every client. It's a unique opportunity to drive forward a mission-led service while developing your own career in a supportive, ambitious organisation.

When you are completing your application please answer the 5 areas below and please put n/a to areas 6 and 7:
  • Tell us about a time you supported someone through a reconnection or resettlement pathway. What steps did you take, and what was the outcome?
  • Share an example of how you supported someone facing multiple challenges in a fast-paced setting. What did you do to meet their needs effectively?
  • Describe a time you coordinated support for a complex case. How did you manage risk and ensure steady progress towards goals?
  • Give an example of when you led a team or project. How did you promote good practice and maintain high standards throughout?
  • Tell us about a situation where you worked closely with other professionals or agencies. How did your communication and problem-solving help achieve a positive result?
