Salary: £27,257 - £29,850

Hours: 36 per week

We are looking for motivated and customer-focussed people to join our housing team as a Housing Assistant and play an important role in delivering high-quality services to our tenants.

If you enjoy working with people and partners for a career that brings different challenges and rewards every day, and are creative, performance driven and have the skills and determination to make a positive contribution to our communities then a career in Housing could be for you. You will work closely with Housing Officers, managers, colleagues across the Council and external partners to support the effective delivery of our housing service. You will have the opportunity to take responsibility for your own areas of work, contribute to service improvements and help ensure our customers receive a first-class service.

We are seeking innovative and flexible individuals to join our locality housing teams as a housing assistant, and we have posts in each of our four locality offices in the South West, North West, North East and South East offices around the city.

Housing assistants play an important role in supporting a range of housing management duties and information and advice services to improve the quality of life of our customers, including tenants, homeless people, residents and neighbours of our tenants' homes.

If you are someone who enjoys new opportunities, taking on challenges and building positive relationships with all sorts of people, we would love to hear from you.

We are committed to a diverse and inclusive workforce where everyone feels valued and able to be their best. We particularly encourage applications from women for senior roles, as well as people from minority ethnic backgrounds, people with disabilities or neurodivergent people, care experienced people, carers and LGBT+ people across all levels of the organisation, all of whom are currently underrepresented. All applicants will be considered fairly based on skills and experience. Disabled and care-experienced applicants who meet the minimum job criteria will be guaranteed an interview.
