Summary

Are you passionate about making a real difference in people's lives?
Join our team as a Housing Officer, where no two days are the same, and where you'll be at the heart of ensuring our residents feel safe, supported, and valued in their homes.
What you'll do
As a Housing Officer, you'll play a vital role in enhancing our residents' overall experience of living in one of our homes. You'll foster a strong local presence, ensuring residents know you by name, by being readily available and proactive.
  • Main Point of Contact: As a Housing Officer, you will be one of the primary points of contact for residents on your patch. You'll handle day-to-day resident inquiries while working alongside building managers and specialist teams like the repairs hub and customer experience team to ensure communal and estate-wide matters are managed.
  • Autonomy and Planning: You will have the freedom to plan your own week, managing site inspections, meeting contractors, and carrying out annual resident check-ins to ensure any issues are addressed.
  • Problem Solving: In this reactive role, you'll need to be adaptable-managing your daily tasks while responding to urgent matters like emergency repairs, ensuring residents feel their concerns are prioritized.
  • Supporting Residents: You'll be involved in safeguarding situations, supporting vulnerable residents dealing with issues such as addiction, mental health, or abuse. We're looking for someone who genuinely cares about the welfare of residents and can ensure positive outcomes.
  • Collaboration and Office Work: You'll be on your patch at least two days a week, with the remaining time spent in the office collaborating with colleagues to deliver the best services possible.
Please note this role will be based both in the community - visiting the properties that you manage, and in office.
Why it's rewarding
  • You'll directly impact the satisfaction and well-being of residents.
  • Every day offers new challenges that require problem-solving and people skills.
  • You'll work closely with residents to create positive living environments.
The Ideal Candidate
As you'll be the main point of contact for your residents, you will need to be approachable, friendly, and committed to providing a great service as well as being ready to help and provide support to your residents. Our Housing Officers are busy, so you will need to be flexible, resilient and able to easily switch from one task to another as priorities can quickly change throughout the day. You'll be proactive and customer-focused with the ability to communicate effectively to multiple audiences.

Essential:
  • Customer service experience including developing customer relationships
  • Excellent communication skills
  • Ability to manage workload and prioritise accordingly, capable of quickly switching from one task to another
  • Problem-solving skills

Is it for you?
  • Perfect for someone who is compassionate, proactive, and enjoys providing a face-to-face customer service.
  • Requires excellent communication, customer focus, and problem-solving skills.
  • Previous housing or community service experience is a plus but not essential.
If you're dedicated to delivering outstanding service and improving resident experiences, this role could be the perfect fit!
