Are you creative, performance driven and have the skills and determination to improve the lives of our tenants, residents and make a positive contribution to our communities? A career in Housing could be for you!

Housing officers play an important role in delivering a wide range of housing management duties, community consultation, local investment and projects.

The housing officer is the key contact for our tenants who are experiencing difficulties with tenancy related issues and the ability to communicate with care, respect and empathy are key to this role.

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.
