- Working with partners, support agencies, and stakeholders to ensure a joined‑up service
- Representing the organisation in court and at community or stakeholder meetings
- Ensuring properties are safe, compliant, and re‑let quickly to minimise void loss
- Playing a key role in delivering a trauma‑informed, customer‑first approach

- Ability to work both independently and collaboratively in a fast‑paced environment
- A customer‑focused, solution‑driven mindset
