Your Support. Our Community. Safer, Independent Lives.
Moving into Extra Care is a big step. For the older people living in our schemes, it means keeping their own front door, their own routines and their independence, with care and support close by when they need it.
As a Sheltered Housing Officer, you'll be a familiar, trusted face on site. You'll help residents manage their tenancies and their money, keep the building safe and bring people together. You'll work alongside on-site care teams, colleagues across Curo and partner agencies, so residents get joined-up support and always know who to turn to.
This role is 14 hours a week. We'd love to spread these across three days, for example 5, 4.5 and 4.5 hours, so residents see you more regularly through the week. If two 7-hour days would suit you better, we're happy to talk about it.
What you'll be doing
- Getting to know residents and agreeing support plans that help them keep their tenancy and live independently
- Helping residents maximise their income and manage their rent and other responsibilities
- Carrying out alarm, fire and health and safety checks, keeping accurate records and flagging hazards
- Spotting and reporting safeguarding concerns, then following them through
- Working with care providers, partner agencies and colleagues so residents get the right support at the right time
- Organising social events and groups that help residents connect with each other and the wider community
