Neighbourhood Housing Officer needed in Camden, £20.96ph PAYE - Reference: RQ1472679
This role provides a frontline, trusted service to our residents, as they move in and out of their homes, coping with changes in their personal circumstance or experiencing problems with their neighbours or in their communities. By assessing and understanding the context of people’s lives and identifying predictable demand, the team will use systems thinking principles, learning from the experience of our residents to challenge and ultimately change where required the way the system is working, ensuring we deliver the best outcomes for our residents. The Neighbourhood Officer will have an important role to play working directly with other services, both internally and externally to meet residents' needs and help build the resilience of our residents and communities.
The post holder will be required to work creatively and effectively with residents, service managers, and other stakeholders to develop, maintain and continually review the delivery and work practices and processes of our landlord services. The Neighbourhood Officer will work with other team colleagues to help drive the direction of the work and help the Neighbourhood Manager measure how effective the work of the service is in relation to our stated purpose. It will be important to be able to spot trends and patterns in residents' demands and identify barriers in the wider system that need to be unblocked to enable us to deliver the most effective and responsive service.
This role will not only balance frontline reactive and proactive casework to the residents living in our properties but also influence and drive forward any necessary changes, helping to co-design a landlord service that continues to adapt to meet changing needs and priorities. With support, training, sharing experience with team colleagues, and having honest conversations with residents, the Neighbourhood Officer will be empowered to work to identify and help resolve the root causes of an issue impacting a resident's life. Working as the trusted point of contact, the officer will pull in support where needed, assisting the resident where possible to identify the issues and find solutions to their problems. Where possible, the new approach will seek not only to resolve issues impacting on individual residents but also more broadly to seek solutions and learn from the experience to improve the service available to the wider resident group.
