• Ensure contractual obligations and the individual needs of the people we support are met by maintaining a system of regular tenancy sustainment support
• Recruit, induct and onboard new members to your team as required and manage your people resources safely
• Arrange and facilitate regular team meetings and support and supervision sessions with your team
• Complete yearly appraisals and personal development plans with your team

About Us

We are Right There, a charity that recently celebrated our 200th anniversary. We provide tailored support for people, at home, and in the community. We are here for people who are living with the effects of homelessness, poverty, substance use, or family breakdowns.

Last year we supported almost 4,000 individuals, helping to prevent them from becoming homeless or separated from the people they love. Every person’s story is unique, and everyone’s route home is different - it doesn’t matter what the situation is – we’re not here to judge, only to help.
