Are you an experienced Housing professional with a strong background in homelessness prevention and team leadership?

A local authority in West Sussex is looking for a Deputy Homelessness Prevention Manager to join them on an initial 3-month contract. This is a hands-on role leading a small prevention team, overseeing performance, supporting complex casework and ensuring decisions are legally sound.

The team has faced some challenges around performance and turnover, so they're looking for someone confident, supportive but able to address underperformance and drive standards. You'll also be part of the duty rota, managing day-to-day pressures and key decisions including temporary accommodation.

You'll need experience managing a housing options/prevention team within a local authority, strong knowledge of the Homelessness Reduction Act, and confidence handling complex cases and working with partners.

Contract is 3 months initially, starting ASAP, with 2 days in the office each week.
