- Strong knowledge of tenancy and leasehold management
- Experience in handling ASB and community engagement
- Excellent communication and problem-solving skills
- Excellent time management skills with an ability to manage a complex caseload whilst adhering to important deadlines
- A relevant housing qualification (or willingness to work towards one)
- A full UK driving licence and access to transport
Our Values:
- Own it: We take responsibility for our actions and decisions, ensuring that we deliver on our promises to our customers and communities.
