Outside of duty shifts, you’ll manage your own caseload — progressing applications, carrying out investigations and ensuring decisions are clear, accurate and robust.

Your work will directly influence lives, offering stability, safety and hope when people need it most.

We’re seeking a proactive, forward thinking individual who thrives on solving problems and negotiating positive outcomes.

Knowledge of landlord and tenant law, debt advice, income maximisation and homelessness prevention initiatives will strengthen your application.

Previous frontline interviewing experience within a fast paced environment, applying the Housing Act 1996 Part VII, the Homelessness Reduction Act 2017, the Homelessness Act 2002, the Domestic Abuse Act 202, Renters Rights Act and related legislation, is desirable. However, full training will be provided for the right candidate who demonstrates the drive, empathy and skill needed to excel in this role. As well as a good salary, we offer a career Local Government pension scheme, generous holiday and sick pay entitlements, subsidised parking for work and leisure, public transport discounts, free swimming and gym membership, cycle purchase scheme, plenty of personal and professional development opportunities, flexible working, hybrid working opportunities, Employee Assistance Programme and the opportunity to work with great colleagues.
