Job description

Housing & Support Officer

Join us as our next Housing & Support Officer and make a difference!

Do you thrive on empowering others and supporting vulnerable individuals to live independently?

At Transform Housing & Support, we believe everyone should live independent and fulfilling lives. We provide housing and support for many socially excluded and vulnerable people across Surrey, parts of Berkshire, West Sussex, and the London Borough of Sutton.

Come and join the Reigate team and play a pivotal role in our incredible success stories, which have resulted in individuals with histories of substance abuse to find stability, secure jobs, and own homes. One of the team’s proudest moments was helping a local woman reunite with her children after overcoming alcohol addiction.

‘I didn’t have a reason to change before but thanks to Transform, now I do’ – Jon, a Transform Client

If you're looking for a role where every day is different and brings new opportunities to make a meaningful difference, Transform Housing & Support is the place for you.

What You'll Be Doing

Salary?– £26,750 per annum plus benefits
Location – Reigate
Full time – 37 hrs per week

You will be joining the Reigate Team, a friendly group of around 15 people, to provide a high-quality service to our clients across the Reigate and East Surrey area. You will work with a variety of clients, including some with mental health issues, a history of offending, and those in recovery from substance misuse.

A little more about your core tasks as a Housing & Support Officer:

• Act as a keyworker to clients, helping them achieve their goals and live independently.
• Assist clients with housing management activities, including reporting and monitoring repair issues, supporting clients in rent arrears to set up repayment agreements, and conducting regular health and safety checks and room inspections.
• Prepare rooms for new residents by assembling furniture and clearing rooms when clients move out.

What You'll Need

To be successful in this role, you must have:

• Ability to develop non-judgmental professional relationships with clients.
• The ability to manage your own time, delivering outcomes, meeting deadlines.
• An Enhanced DBS check (to be completed by us, upon successful application).
• A full valid driving licence and use of your own car for business purposes.

Tick most of the boxes but not all? The best candidate rarely does. So, if you are excited by the role and can do most of what we are looking for, go ahead and apply; you could be exactly who we need.

How we’ll set you up for success

We want to make sure you have the skills and knowledge to be great in your role. So when you join us, you will complete a tailored induction programme which will include a combination of online training, in person training, and shadowing. Plus, after two years, you will have the opportunity to undertake a relevant extended training course, whether that be a college course, Open university degree or professional qualification.
