About this opportunity
We are seeking a go-getting dynamic person to join our Private Sector Housing Team in the Thriving Communities Directorate. The post is full time working 37 hours per week and is offered as a permanent contract.
The appointee will be involved in the full range of casework duties in support of the housing enforcement team where you will work primarily from Barrow town hall; however, there will be an expectation to support colleagues dealing with housing standards throughout the wider Westmorland and Furness area when service demands require it.
It would be advantageous if you have experience of working in a fast-paced technical support environment and can demonstrate that you’re a team player, as well as being able to organise your own workload and be committed to providing a high standard of customer service.
You must have good written and oral communication skills and be competent in IT. However, it’s just as important to us to find the right fit for our team, and if the right candidate displays the qualities we are looking for, then training can be provided.
You will be part of a flexible and responsive Housing Team where we work together to get the job done. The ability to converse at ease with customers and provide advice and instruction in accurate spoken English is an essential requirement.
What can we offer you!
* Excellent training and development offers
* Flexible working opportunities
* Opportunity to join the Local Government Pension Scheme
* Boost your pension with Shared Cost Additional Voluntary Contributions (facilitated by AVC Wise)
* Various perks and discounts schemes, including money off your phone contract and local gyms
* Competitive rates of pay
