Head of Housing

We are Right There a charity with over 200 years of history providing tailored support to people affected by homelessness, poverty, addiction, or family breakdown. Our work helps prevent people from becoming homeless or separated from those they love.

Housing is at the heart of our mission. Amid Scotland’s housing crisis, we give children, young people, adults, and families the security of a safe home alongside personalised support to build stable, independent lives. From our Help to Rent programme, which removes barriers such as upfront deposits, to our wider housing models, including private rented properties, we are expanding our reach so that more people can take their first steps towards a brighter future.

This is an exciting time to join Right There as we strengthen our Senior Management Team with the newly created and business-critical role of Head of Housing. Responsible for shaping our housing programmes, you will lead growth plans and explore innovative ways of providing homes and support. Bringing leadership, creativity, and a commitment to continuous improvement, you will enable us to deliver integrated housing solutions that truly transform lives.

With extensive leadership experience and a strong background in housing and tenancy sustainment services, you will bring deep expertise in social and/or supported housing management, together with a proven track record of building partnerships across a diverse range of stakeholders. A strategic and innovative thinker with excellent communication and influencing skills, you will also bring direct experience of managing occupancy-based budgets, including property costs, void turnover, and forecasting procurement targets.

If you are passionate about creating lasting impact through safe homes and supportive communities – and have the skills and drive to lead at this level – we would love to hear from you.
