Working with our customers really does change people’s lives and if you want to make a difference Plus Dane is the place to be!
We live by our values of working together, achieving for our customers, taking ownership, and having the opportunity to learn and grow.
About the Role:
As a Homeless Officer, you’ll provide housing management and support services to customers experiencing homelessness in a supported environment. You’ll help residents gain the stability they need to move on to independent or more suitable accommodation, while ensuring the scheme is safe, secure, and well-managed.
This role is based on site at our 10 unit hostel in Macclesfield or Congleton, Cheshire.
Key responsibilities include:
Providing onsite management and supervision of the scheme, including security, maintenance, health and safety, and cleanliness
Supporting vulnerable people to make informed choices and move towards independence
Implementing and reviewing support plans with clear outcomes
Ensuring accurate records and comprehensive inductions for all customers
Taking prompt action on tenancy issues and anti-social behaviour
Promoting service user participation and positive community relationships
Liaising with internal teams and external agencies to maximise support for residents
Ensuring compliance with all policies, procedures, and health & safety standards
What You’ll Bring
Qualifications demonstrating sound literacy and numeracy (e.g., GCSE English & Maths A-C or equivalent)
Relevant training (e.g., First Aid, Health & Safety, Food Hygiene)
Experience working with vulnerable people in supported housing
Strong communication, administration, and problem-solving skills
Ability to work independently and as part of a team
Computer literacy and attention to confidentiality
A positive, flexible, and person-centred approach
What you’ll get in return:
This is a permanent role working 21 hours per week. Your main base will be Macclesfield or Congleton, Cheshire.
You’ll be generously rewarded with a competitive salary and a great benefits package, including 35 days’ annual leave, plus bank holidays. This includes a 3-day Christmas closedown between Christmas and New Year and you have the option to buy up to 5 extra days annually.
You’ll also benefit from a company pension scheme where we contribute 9%, and colleagues can contribute anything from 3% upwards. We’re committed to our people’s wellbeing supported by an excellent management team, wellbeing champions, and mental health first aiders.
We actively encourage personal development, with plenty of opportunities to progress your career and access ongoing training, including formal qualifications.
We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and vulnerable adults and expect all staff to share this commitment. This role is subject to an enhanced DBS check.
If you need any adjustments to apply or attend an interview, please let us know.
