Our Team

Leadership with Real-World Experience

TrustStead Supported Living is led by people who combine professional, technical and frontline experience across housing, youth services, education and community work. We understand both the commissioning pressures faced by local authorities and the realities of day-to-day life in supported accommodation.

Grounded in Practice, Informed by Systems

Between them, the TrustStead leadership team have experience spanning high-pressure technical environments, central government, education, youth justice and frontline supported accommodation. This mix of skills helps us:

  • Understand commissioning pressures, risk management and accountability.
  • Design homes and routines that actually work for residents in real life.
  • Work productively with social workers, probation officers and partner agencies.
  • Support residents with practical steps towards training, education and employment.

Our approach is calm, structured and boundaried – with a clear belief that people can progress when expectations are fair, consistent and backed by the right kind of support.
