Please note: This is a dual-location role requiring both office based and property based working. The successful candidate must be able to travel between sites and therefore must have access to their own Transport.

Role Overview

We are seeking a compassionate, organised and motivated Housing Support Officer to join our team. The successful candidate will play a pivotal role in delivering high-quality support to tenants, managing referrals, and facilitating access to housing and essential services. This role is key to ensuring that individuals are safely housed and supported to develop the skills needed to maintain tenancies and improve their quality of life.

Work collaboratively with tenants to develop and review individual support plans with clear goals.
Assist tenants in accessing essential services including health care, employment, education, benefits, budgeting, life skills and community resources.
Maintain regular contact with tenants to monitor well being, progress and emergent needs.

3. Tenancy & Accommodation Management

Support tenants to sustain their tenancies through proactive engagement, mediation and education.
Liaise with housing officers, landlords and external partners regarding tenancy issues, repairs or property maintenance when necessary.
Report any safeguarding concerns, anti-social behaviour, rent arrears or property issues promptly and in line with organisational policy.

4. Record Keeping & Compliance

Maintain accurate, up-to-date case notes and records on internal systems.
Complete risk assessments, incident reports, safeguarding referrals and other documentation as required.
Ensure compliance with organisational procedures, regulatory standards and data-protection requirements.

5. Multi-Agency Collaboration

Build and maintain positive working relationships with external agencies including health services, social care, probation, substance misuse services and local support networks.
Attend multi-agency meetings, case reviews and reviews of support plans when required.
Advocate on behalf of tenants to secure additional support or specialist services.

Person Specification Skills & Competencies

✔ Strong communication and interpersonal skills
✔ Ability to build rapport and engage vulnerable individuals
✔ Excellent organisational, time management and prioritisation skills
