You’ll assist customers transitioning from hospital into our fully-furnished properties or through floating support for those living in their own homes. For Homegroup residents, you’ll also handle tenancy management, benefits, and property checks (with full training). Based at Railway Terrace, you’ll cover North Tyneside alongside an inspiring, supportive team ready to welcome you!
