Are you a customer- focussed individual who is self-motivated, keen to develop and learn, and who is passionate about achieving the best possible outcomes for our tenants and sharing owners? If so, we want to hear from you as we have an exciting new opportunity for a Money & Home Energy Adviser.
Working closely with our Housing Team, you will be responsible for the delivery of a high quality Money & Home Energy Advice service to our tenants and sharing owners, with the aim of sustaining tenancies, managing debts and reducing fuel poverty.
You will be expected to form productive, professional relationships with tenants and external agencies and have excellent interpersonal skills. You will have experience of providing services, sometimes in stressful situations and possess strong verbal and written communication skills. You will hold a relevant qualification in money advice and have a proven track record of providing this. Ideally, you will also have experience in dealing with fuel poverty debt and hold a relevant energy advice qualification too, though training can be provided.
You must work well within a team but also be happy to use your own initiative. The ability to work accurately under pressure, keep excellent records and to prioritise work and meet deadlines is essential.
