• As well as supporting our housing advice drop in service, you will manage a caseload of households requiring housing related support.
• You will conduct initial interviews with individuals, assess and identify their requirements and monitor the household’s progress towards resolving their housing needs.
• It will be key for you to help people explore appropriate housing options, assist people to become tenancy ready and work closely with landlords to secure suitable properties.
• It will be your responsibility to ensure all information is processed in accordance with procedures, regulations and codes of practice.

• This is a limited contract until 31st March 2026.

• Please note that due to the nature of this role, it is a requirement of employment that a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check is obtained.
