Summary
Housing Supervisor
North East Locality
Salary: £33,287 - £39,129
Hours: 36 per week, 52 weeks
Working pattern for the position is Monday to Friday.
The City of Edinburgh Council operate four hostels across the city and Housing Supervisors provide a vital service in each project by directly supporting our residents, many of whom have a history trauma and/or complex emotional and mental health needs.
Housing Supervisors work with our residents concentrating on building positive and supportive relationships as well as creating a sense of community. The goal is to enable the resident to maximise their own resources and ability to live independently so that they can successfully maintain a permanent tenancy when they leave our service. The work can be challenging, and this requires staff to be emotionally resilient, understanding and committed to supporting residents who display challenging behaviour.
Housing Supervisors also manage a team of unit wardens who work a 24-hour shift pattern and are responsible for supporting residents during their day to day lives as well as cleaning and preparing rooms/flats when residents move on.
We welcome applications from individuals with lived experience of using homelessness or recovery services.
