Housing Officer ASB in Birmingham

Job Location: Brindley Place, Birmingham. Covering Wolverhampton, Walsall, Telford and West Bromwich and Connock.

Contract type: Permanent. Working hours: 37 hours per week.

About the role:

As part of our Localities team, you will deliver a high-quality, customer-focused housing management service across a cross-tenure patch with a strong specialist focus on anti-social behaviour (ASB) prevention, investigation and enforcement. This is a role for someone who can combine excellent tenancy management with the confidence to manage complex ASB and serious tenancy breach cases end-to-end, including progressing cases through legal routes where required. You will take a victim-centred approach while also ensuring we act decisively and proportionately to protect communities and uphold tenancy conditions.

Key responsibilities include:

• Leading on complex ASB case management, from first report and risk assessment through investigation, action planning, resolution and closure.
• Using a preventative and early-intervention approach: proportionate, timely actions that reduce harm and stop issues escalating.
• Gathering and managing evidence: interviews, home visits, professional witness evidence, case notes, action plans, and clear record keeping aligned to policy and legal requirements.
• Progressing enforcement and legal outcomes where appropriate, including preparing legal documentation, working with solicitors/counsel, attending court, and representing the organisation when required.
• Supporting victims and witnesses, taking a trauma-informed approach, ensuring safeguarding concerns are identified and appropriately escalated.
• Working closely with internal colleagues (including Housing, Neighbourhoods/Homes & Communities, Income, Repairs, and Support services) to deliver joined-up outcomes.
• Building effective partnerships with external agencies such as Police, Local Authorities, support organisations and community safety partners, including participating in and/or leading multi-agency meetings.
• Delivering core housing management activity across your patch, including managing tenancy changes and breaches, supporting tenancy sustainment, responding to property/estate issues, and providing clear advice to customers on their rights and responsibilities.
• Acting as a point of expertise on ASB and tenancy enforcement, sharing good practice and supporting colleagues to take confident early action on lower-level tenancy concerns.

You will be working independently in challenging situations and changing priorities, striving to add value to everything you do and contributing to safe, resilient communities.

Please note: if you are successful in this role, we will require a DBS check to be completed. Further details will be sent following offer.
