Colchester is Britain’s First City, and Britain’s Newest City. A wealth of heritage buildings, coastline and Constable countryside surrounds a modern City that is rapidly changing to match our thriving population growth. We have a new vision to modernise our services to match the future needs of the city and our next generations as our team culture.

The Council are seeking a Home Adaptations Officer to support vulnerable residents to remain safe and independent in their home by providing an effective technical surveying and advice service to enable adaptation, improvement and repair work to dwellings with grant or loan aid.

We are expanding our Healthy Homes team in order to deliver a range of financial assistance schemes to improve housing conditions. We have a large Disabled Facilities Grants programme and offer other discretionary forms of financial assistance to residents.

We are looking for an individual that can manage a busy workload and work with the other members of the team including the Home Adaptations Officer, Caseworkers, Coordinator and Senior Occupational Therapist to process grant and loan enquiries through from receipt, property inspection, preparing detailed specifications, detailed technical drawings, liaising with contractors to obtain quotes, submitting appropriate applications for permissions and monitoring works through to completion.

Colchester City Council recognises that housing conditions are a key determinant of health and wellbeing and that a citizens environment plays a key role in protecting, sustaining and improving people’s quality of life.

Applicants will be invited to interview if they clearly understand the role and demonstrate proactive communication abilities, possess excellent organisational skills and can “self-manage” to prioritise their work with commitment to high standards of delivery.

In return, we are happy to talk about flexible working arrangements. You could blend home, remote, office and site working, and work/life balance flexibility.
