Home isn't just four walls. It's safety, belonging and the opportunity to start again.

Our Future Homes program provides supported accommodation for men who are rebuilding their lives after experiencing homelessness. Every day, we help people find stability, reconnect with their community, and work towards a future they can be proud of.

We're looking for an inspiring and compassionate Team Leader – Homelessness to lead a passionate team and create spaces where people feel welcomed, connected and supported to thrive.

This is a hands-on leadership role where no two days are the same. You'll coach and develop your team, build meaningful partnerships across the community, create engaging consumer programs, and help shape a service where recovery, dignity and hope are at the centre of everything we do.

• Monitor service quality, documentation and compliance while fostering a positive team culture.
• Provide leadership support when the Service Manager is unavailable.
• Participate in an on-call roster and confidently respond to incidents when required.
