Housing & Support Manager
Be part of something new from day one.
We're launching a brand-new supported accommodation service in Maidenhead, providing a safe, high-quality home for up to 20 care leavers as they take the next step towards independent living.
Opening in October 2026, this newly refurbished service will offer young people the stability, guidance and practical support they need to thrive. As Team Manager, you'll have the unique opportunity to shape a brand-new service, build and lead a dedicated team, and create an environment where young people can flourish.
This is an exciting time to join Achieving for Children, as we continue to expand a successful model already established in Kingston.
What you'll be doing
As Team Manager, you'll lead the day-to-day operation of our new supported accommodation service, ensuring it provides a safe, trauma-informed and nurturing environment for young people preparing for independent adulthood.

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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
