Job Summary: The Brick is an ambitious anti-poverty and homeless charity with big aspirations for people in need within our community. We provide RELIEF, RESTORATION and REFORMATION by offering tailored support, hope, and opportunity to people who are economically and socially disadvantaged. Our projects include emergency and supported accommodation, an affordable food community, street outreach and homelessness prevention programmes. We are now seeking an experienced Head of Housing to join our growing team.

Job Purpose: This role is a key role within the charity and an integral part of the Senior Leadership Team, you will also have responsibility for deputising for the CEO. The Brick has a strong commitment to reducing homelessness and rough sleeping. We have developed our services over the last 3 years to ensure there is a pathway to assist people to move away from rough sleeping, and a robust approach to preventing people needing to sleep rough.
We have seen significant development over recent years in both our accommodation and support offers for people who are experiencing homelessness, and we have achieved this by designing services that can respond in a flexible and person-centred way, putting the needs of the person at the heart of our approach. We are a 24/7 365 days a year operation and therefore we require flexibility, resilience and can-do attitude to ensure service quality is always maintained.
You will be responsible for ensuring all our residents and the people we work with have an excellent, seamless, person led service from start to finish and that they feel like a valued, safe, important customer from all touch points within The Brick. You will deliver all operational and person-focused landlord services to current and future Brick residents, including emergency and supported accommodation customers as well as to anyone supported through our street outreach service and youth pathfinder.
