About the Organisation

Hull Resettlement Project is a long-standing homeless charity, providing temporary accommodation across the city. The charity works closely with Hull City Council, probation services, healthcare providers, and other partner organisations to deliver vital housing-related support.

Many of their residents may have additional challenges such as substance misuse (supported through links with services like Renew), probation requirements, mental health concerns, a number of other vulnerabilities, or find themselves at risk of homelessness for a number of other reasons.

• Working with the overall General Manager on the on-call rota and responding to urgent operational needs.
• Using your strong IT and administrative skills to manage systems, budgets, and processes effectively.

Skills and Experience Required
