Oversee all aspects of service delivery across Llamau’s RISE contract. RISE delivers expert, specialist, independent domestic abuse and other violence services. This includes a range of crisis accommodation, community-based services for adults and CYP and group work. Your role will include ensuring the provision of consistent, high quality, safe, trauma informed services and service outcomes.
You will directly line manage 3 Team/Project Managers and their teams/projects within the contracts, ensuring they comply with all contract requirements and are continuously providing best practice support, whilst developing provision. Alongside line management of a Volunteer Coordinator and Monitoring Officer.
You will be the main contact for contract management with Cardiff County Council Local Authorities, including accurate and timely submission of monitoring returns. You will also be responsible for ensuring all schemes are working towards achieving any outcomes and KPI’s set by the commissioners, VAWDSV Legislation and Regional Strategy and delivery plans.
At all times you will monitor performance of projects and teams, ensuring Llamau continues to deliver the very best support to young people and vulnerable adults experiencing homelessness.

At Llamau we believe that no young person or vulnerable woman should ever have to experience homelessness. Our mission is to eradicate homelessness for young people and vulnerable women. But for thousands of the most vulnerable people in Wales, homelessness is a frightening reality.
30 years ago Llamau was founded to provide homeless teenagers with a safe place to stay. Since then, we have supported over 67,000 young people, women and their children who are either homeless or facing homelessness.
Many people think the job of a homelessness charity will be to provide accommodation - a safe place to stay. But it is very clear to us that for most people who are facing homelessness, their problems are far more complex than a lack of permanent shelter.
That's why we treat everyone who needs our support as an individual. We recognise their unique strengths and needs and make sure that they are supported to rebuild their futures.
