A place to create moments that matter.

Location: Bradford, Hybrid with travel around the region to meet customer needs.

Salary: £39,066 per annum

Permanent, 35 hours per week, Monday – Friday 9am-5pm.

Thousands of families across the country rely on the organisation for a safe, affordable home. And as the housing crisis deepens, the work they do has never been more important. It’s this belief - that everyone deserves a place to call home - that drives everything they do. Together, they find new ways to understand and champion their customers, support them and drive positive change. For a career that means more and makes a meaningful impact on society, this is the place to be.

About the role:

As a Leasehold and Homeownership Officer, you’ll be the go-to expert for homeowner customers - handling a wide range of complex queries around leases, transfers, property management, and service charges. You’ll play a vital role in ensuring customers feel supported, informed, and confident in their homes.

This isn’t a desk-bound job. You’ll be out and about visiting schemes, carrying out inspections, and maintaining a visible presence in communities. You’ll work closely with colleagues across Housing Services and other teams to manage mixed-tenure sites and deliver a seamless customer experience.

You’ll be managing a diverse portfolio of homeownership tenures - shared owners, leaseholders, and freeholders, making sure everything aligns with legal agreements and service expectations. It’s a busy, fast-paced role that requires strong organisational skills, a proactive mindset, and a genuine curiosity to get to the heart of issues.

You’ll need to:

• Translate legal jargon into clear, customer-friendly language
• Think creatively to solve problems and improve service
• Prioritise effectively and manage competing demands
• Build strong relationships across teams and with customers

This is a brilliant opportunity to make a real impact. You’ll work with a wide range of people, tackle interesting challenges, and see the direct results of your work through customer feedback. It’s a role that keeps you on your toes and one where no two days are the same.

About you:

• Experience in leasehold management within a housing association or managing agent.
• Strong understanding of leases, transfers, and relevant regulations, with a commitment to continuous professional development.
• Ability to work independently as part of a small team and collaboratively across the wider organisation.
• Strong organisational skills, with the ability to manage a high volume of queries and maintain a professional, customer-focused approach.
• Excellent communication skills, capable of engaging with multiple stakeholders at various levels.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office (Word, Outlook, Excel).
