An exciting opportunity has arisen for an enthusiastic individual within a busy and ambitious service.
The Council has a duty to provide temporary accommodation to applicants, whilst their homelessness application is investigated. The Council manages its own units of temporary accommodation in the Dacorum area and also uses accommodation outside of Dacorum when required.
You will be working with a variety of households and client groups, some who may be vulnerable and you will be required to liaise with the appropriate internal departments and external agencies to ensure that licenses are sustained and any issues addressed.
You will be required to place applicants into suitable, available accommodation and undertake a sign-up process when requested, following the relevant legislative guidelines and internal procedures linked to this process.
You will be responsible to liaise with internal departments, monitor the occupation of temporary accommodation in accordance with the license agreement; this will include dealing with notifications regarding license payments or license breaches and conduct evictions.
The role will involve both office based tasks and regular site visits to ensure standards are met in the temporary accommodation, including communal cleaning, repairs and redecoration, health and safety inspections, insurances (equipment and building) and report defects where necessary, to ensure that the Council retain a high standard of provision.
This is a great opportunity for anyone looking to make a difference in people’s lives and seeking a new challenge.
Applicants must have a driving licence that is valid in the UK and access to a car.
Enhanced check will be undertaken with the Disclosure and Barring Service to ensure that the successful candidate has no relevant convictions.
The deadline for applications will be midnight on the closing date shown in the advert details.
Interviews Date(s): Week commencing the 26 May 2025
