You will also be dealing with the day-to-day supervision of the refuge accommodation, which includes a core site and dispersed properties.

* working with clients who have experienced domestic abuse
* working within guidelines
* liaising and working with other agencies
* identifying and managing situations involving a level of risk.
* the issues and the challenges faced by our service users
This is a temporary vacancy to cover maternity leave - cover needed until January or February 2025
