The Resident Liaison Officer will work closely with project delivery teams, contractors, Housing Associations (HAs) and site managers, acting as the key point of contact for residents throughout the lifecycle of energy efficiency installations.

This is a full RLO role, covering resident engagement, customer service, site coordination, stakeholder management, issue resolution and reporting. The successful candidate will be responsible for ensuring residents are kept informed, supported and comfortable throughout the works.

A key focus of the role will be supporting vulnerable residents and customers who may have disabilities, accessibility requirements or additional support needs. The ability to adapt communication styles, understand individual circumstances and deal with sensitive situations professionally will therefore be essential.

Key Responsibilities

• Act as the main point of contact for residents throughout the project lifecycle.
• Build positive and professional relationships with residents, contractors, Housing Associations and internal stakeholders.
• Communicate planned works, access requirements, timescales and any changes clearly to residents.
• Identify and support vulnerable residents, including those with disabilities, accessibility requirements or additional support needs.
• Adapt communication and engagement approaches to meet individual resident needs and ensure information is accessible and understood.
• Carry out resident visits and engagement activities across Cambridge and surrounding areas.
• Manage resident concerns, complaints and technical queries promptly and sensitively.
• Work closely with site teams and contractors to resolve issues and minimise disruption to residents.
• Escalate operational, safeguarding, accessibility or customer concerns where appropriate.
• Work within delegated authority structures, using sound judgement when dealing with resident issues and escalating matters outside agreed authority levels.
• Maintain accurate records of resident interactions, issues, actions and outcomes.
• Coordinate multiple stakeholders and activities across different sites.
• Contribute to delivering a positive customer journey and strong NPS performance.
• Provide regular updates and reporting to project and senior stakeholders.

Key Challenges

• Ensuring consistent, clear and accessible communication with residents, many of whom may be vulnerable or require additional support.
• Understanding individual resident needs and adapting the approach accordingly.
• Managing multiple stakeholders across complex projects and different locations.
• Addressing complaints, concerns and technical queries promptly and sensitively.
• Maintaining strong relationships with contractors, Housing Associations and internal departments.
• Balancing operational delivery with a high-quality customer journey.
• Knowing when issues can be managed under delegated authority and when they need to be escalated.
• Supporting residents through potentially disruptive energy efficiency works while maintaining trust and confidence.

Experience and Qualifications - Essential / Desirable

Essential

• Proven experience in resident liaison, customer service or community engagement, ideally within construction, retrofit, housing or green energy environments.

• Comfortable dealing with sensitive or challenging conversations.
