Housing Pathways Manager

This is an exciting new role overseeing our homelessness service, housing allocations, and Temporary Accommodation provision.

As a pivotal role in our Management Team, you’ll provide effective and supportive leadership to the Housing Options Team Leader, and the Accommodation and Allocations Team Leader, coaching and developing employees to help them perform their duties to their full potential.

A focus for this role is to lead on reviewing our Farelets scheme, engaging with private landlords in the provision of Temporary Accommodation to help alleviate homelessness in the Borough. For this reason we’d welcome applications from candidates with experience with private sector lease management, as well as those with a clear understanding of homelessness legislation.

It is vital that the right person can excel working in a fast-paced environment, leading a team in an open and positive way, and help identify innovative ways of working to improve performance and service provision. The ability to think and operate in a strategic manner is critical, recognising issues early and identifying and embedding mitigation or solutions to those issues.

The Council has a reputation for delivering excellent services to our residents, thanks to our loyal and hard-working teams, who all share our pride in the borough.

Fareham Borough Council is a great place to work and you would be joining an organisation that has a real family feel to it. We take pride in receiving feedback from others who say we are a friendly and professional organisation. We aim to attract, develop and retain the very best people.
