An exciting opportunity has arisen to join CHS as a Supported Housing Officer in our Community Support Services team, covering a patch of around 61 rented and leased properties in Cambridgeshire.

What you’ll do
In this highly responsible and varied role you will be at the heart of CHS activity. As part of the community support services team, you will deliver a first-class service to our customers.
