Job Description

Job Introduction

We are proud to be one of England\'s leading providers in the development and delivery of progressive and innovative health and social care services.

This is a new role that has been created to support continued growth in our Mental Health, Learning Disability and Autism services. As this is a new role, there is the opportunity for you to shape how it functions and how it contributes to our growth programme. We will seek and value your ideas, insight and learning.

You will join our highly successful Business Development Team. They are consistent high achievers in securing good quality personalised homes and services that support reablement and independent living outcomes for the people we support.

We have regional administrative offices in Manchester and London, as well as a network of local service delivery points. You can potentially use them as a base, or you may prefer a hybrid approach to office and home working. You can also opt to be entirely home based, travelling only to deliver some aspects of your work with us.

Role Responsibility

The core responsibility is to find and secure the best possible home and referral sourcing solutions as quickly as possible for your allocated projects, without ever compromising on quality or viability.

You will be involved in fast track and strategically vital projects to source bespoke affordable properties that will become great homes where people can live and thrive. To do this you will help develop, track and improve supplier networks; as well as proactively researching and following up on every possible opportunity to source the homes we need.

You will create and sustain productive internal and external relationships. This will include comprehensive day-to-day and strategic supplier account management for allocated organisations and individuals. You will track your activity and provide evidence-based performance and learning reports using MS Applications.

You will also have the opportunity to support implementation of some new services by driving the generation of referrals using NHS and Local Authority referral channels.

This role requires some travel to visit local areas to explore options for new homes and to support relationship development and shortlisted property viewings. Occasionally this may include evening or weekend work, but this should be rare, and you would take time back on other days. You will need to be able to work flexibly and to undertake the travel required.

The Ideal Candidate

You will have experience of Learning Disability or Autism or Mental Health, or any service that supports vulnerable adults. Ideally it would be great if you have some knowledge of the housing, rental, or general estate agency / property sector but this is not essential.

You will need to be comfortable when delivering work to set deadlines, and confident that you will maintain an eye for detail and remain organised in a fast-paced development environment.

Working positively with people is essential. You will need to be a good listener, capable of thinking well on your feet and being confident in your skills to positively influence situations, people and outcomes.

You are likely to be determined, energetic, tenacious, outgoing and enthusiastic; being professional in your interactions with people and always respectful of others.

As a leading health and social care provider with more than 300 locations across England, we take real pride in the services we offer.

Across the varied regions, sectors and settings we operate within, our organisation is held together by a shared vision - and our people are connected by the same values.
