Assistant Manager - Young People Support
Newark
£27,673 - £31,453 per annum
Are you passionate about supporting young people to overcome homelessness and build independent futures? Do you have experience leading teams and delivering high-quality support services? If so, we'd love to hear from you.
At Branching Out, we provide specialist supported housing and tailored support for young people aged 16-21 who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. Through safe accommodation, personalised support and opportunities to develop essential life skills, we help young people build confidence, achieve their goals and move successfully into independent living.
We're currently recruiting for two Assistant Manager positions, each offering the opportunity to make a real difference while developing your leadership career within a supportive and values-driven organisation.
Role Overview
As an Assistant Manager, you'll work alongside the Service Manager to deliver a safe, high-quality service that supports young people to achieve positive outcomes. You'll provide day-to-day leadership to frontline teams, oversee support planning and safeguarding, monitor service quality and compliance, and help ensure young people receive the support they need to thrive.
You'll play a key role in creating a positive and empowering environment where young people can develop the skills, resilience and confidence needed to live independently and make successful transitions into adulthood.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
