Flexible working arrangements: We support hybrid working and believe that flexible arrangements help our employees thrive.

<li>Service development: Support service reviews and improvement planning for all Access Panel functions and the development of effective case management systems and referral mechanisms for supported housing referrals.</li>
<li>Commissioning and procurement: Contribute to the development of service specifications, support the assessment of contract bids/tenders.</li>
<li>Stakeholder engagement: Support collaboration with internal teams and external partners – such as voluntary sector organisations, registered social landlords, and commissioned services – by contributing to the development of joint protocols and helping improve service outcomes.</li>
<li>Data analysis and reporting: Support with the analysis of trends and performance data to inform service delivery and assist in preparing reports with insights and recommendations.</li>
<li>Strategic input: Contribute to the Homelessness and Rough Sleeping Strategy and Action Plan.</li>
<li>Quality assurance: Assist in monitoring service quality by carrying out client file checks, gathering feedback through service user consultations, and supporting unannounced provider visits.</li>
</ul>
What we’re looking for
<ul>
<li>Experience in housing, homelessness services, or commissioned services.</li>
<li>Strong project management and partnership working skills.</li>
<li>Excellent communication, negotiation, and analytical abilities.</li>

Our vision is to ensure that Reading realises its potential as a great place to live, work and play, and that everyone shares the benefits of this success. Our values and behaviours guide how we will achieve this:
Work Together as one team - work collaboratively, with each other and with our partners, and demonstrate the Team Reading values in everything we do.
Drive Efficiency - show initiative, be adaptable to change and put forward ideas to help improve delivery and efficiency. Take responsibility for our own learning and development and for reaching our potential.
