Home, a place where you belong

You'll shape safe, welcoming neighbourhoods where people feel proud to live. This is a role where your decisions matter, your relationships count, and your days are never the same. If you enjoy being out in communities, solving problems early, and working with people who genuinely care, this is a move that gives you purpose, trust, and the space to do your best work.

What you'll do

• Build trusted relationships with customers across your patch and local communities.
• Take ownership of housing issues from first contact through to resolution.
• Manage anti-social behaviour cases early to keep neighbourhoods safe and welcoming.
• Carry out estate inspections and work with contractors to keep homes compliant.
• Work with partners to support customers and protect income for reinvestment.

You'll be supported by great people in our fabulous Home Group culture, where kindness, collaboration, and doing the right thing matter. You'll have room to grow, try new things, and build a long-term career, with learning encouraged at every stage. You'll be trusted to work in a way that suits you, while making a real difference every day. Be part of one of the UK's Great Places to Work! We can't offer a CoS for this role.

You have

• You have experience in housing management or a similar customer focused role.
• You have confidence managing anti-social behaviour and complex customer situations.
• You have knowledge of housing law, safeguarding, and sustaining tenancies.
• You have strong organisation skills and take ownership from start to finish.
• You have a full driving licence and access to a vehicle.

Stronger together

We do our best work when we're ourselves. That's why inclusion, wellbeing, and our diversity networks help make Home Group a great place to work!

The practical bits

• Working hours Monday to Friday 9.00 - 5.00 with some level of flexibility.
• Hybrid role where you will be mostly community based with the ability to work from our Reading office for anchor days where we all meet as a team on Wednesday's and some allowance for a bit of home working.
• You'll be joining a small but perfectly formed friendly group of experienced Housing Managers. We are high achievers in team 501 and celebrate success and special occasions on a regular basis.
• You need a vehicle insured for business use, and we pay your mileage.
• You need an Enhanced DBS check that we pay for.

What's in it for you?

• 34 days leave, rising to 39 (this includes bank holidays and a "me day") and the option to buy 5 more each year
• 2 paid volunteering days each year
• Matching pension contribution (up to 7% and life insurance of 3x basic salary)
• Instant pay access with Stream
• 800+ discounts on shops, holidays, days out, tech and more
