A fantastic opportunity has emerged for a Sheltered Housing Officer to join one of Adecco's most improved public sector clients on a permanent contract.
Based in Rickmansworth in Hertfordshire (not far from the train station) and managing a small 26 flat extra care scheme, this is a full-time role (37.5 hours per week, Monday to Friday). The successful candidate will be expected to deliver an on-site housing management and support service that meets the needs of tenants. You will also need to ensure a high-quality management service to elderly tenants, ensuring maintenance, security, and communal safety are optimized at all times.
Key Responsibilities:
1. Carry out regular building inspections, identifying and reporting repairs, ensuring communal safety with a strong focus on fire safety.
2. Effectively manage void properties within company policies.
3. Help maintain a high standard of cleanliness, safety, and security within the building and the grounds by carrying out regular checks (e.g., testing essential systems, monitoring CCTV, etc.).
4. Maintain accurate records (visitor log book, health and safety checks, maintenance visit records, fire safety and alarm testing, and maintaining accurate PEP summaries, tenant files, and maintenance records). Use company databases effectively.
5. Ensure that elderly tenants' rights and dignity are respected, including maintaining a high standard of data security and management.
6. Monitor the work of the company's contractors to ensure a high-quality service and report any deficits.
7. Manage anti-social behaviour within the scheme and explain tenancy agreements and company policies to tenants, dealing with the first level of complaints.
8. Proactively prevent rent arrears, address arrears, and assist tenants in managing debt when known. Actively manage rent accounts and report activity to relevant managers.
A car driver would be useful but is not essential for this role. Please note, our client's head office is in Harrow, so you may need to visit there at times for training, etc.
Only applicants with previous experience of supporting vulnerable, elderly clients and who are comfortable with an annual salary of £27,300 need apply for this role.
