We are looking for someone to join our Tenancy team as Housing Officer on a permanent basis. The role of a Housing Officer can be highly rewarding when you’re able to find a satisfactory solution to our customers problems. Although demanding on a number of levels, it’s also a varied role that will keep you stimulated. Furthermore, as you’ll be working through many cases from start to finish, you’ll feel a great deal of job satisfaction when you achieve a positive outcome.
The varied and demanding aspect of being a Housing Officer can also be a major and stressful challenge. You could find yourself juggling a number of tasks, while having to deal directly with upset and angry individuals, so it’s certainly not a job for the faint hearted. If you love helping people, are well organised, like a challenge and have a cool head, then you should excel as a Housing Officer.
The closing date for applications is the 15th November 2024 but you may be contacted sooner for an interview so if you have the attitude and skills needed to excel in this role, apply today!
Please make sure you can drive, have a vehicle, and explain in your supporting statement how you meet the requirements listed in the person spec, failure to do so could result in your application being rejected.
