The varying aspects of Supported Living provision require different expertise. This role will work in partnership with Registered Managers to ensure a joined up and cohesive support service. The role will maximise high quality funding and financial transparency; maximising housing benefit and specialist housing support income, increased transparency and advocacy for people we support.
