Your role covers all aspect of housing management – everything from estate, scheme, and property inspections to identifying issues and capturing feedback to continuously improve our services and customer satisfaction. If you’re energised by supporting your customers and, like us, committed to helping people flourish, we want to hear from you.

To be a success in this role, you’re

• Experienced in providing support to vulnerable adults.
• Experienced working in housing.
• Knowledgeable of the importance of record keeping and understand safeguarding.
• A driver and have access to a vehicle with the appropriate insurance.
