If so, Salvation Army Homes has an exciting opportunity for an Income Management Officer to join our Housing Team, covering our North services in England.

You will deliver an effective rent income collection and recovery service in accordance with legislation, Salvation Army Homes policies, performance standards, targets and customer satisfaction requirements.

You will also ensure that all residents adhere to their tenancy conditions regarding rent payment, receive advice on financial inclusion and benefit entitlement and that appropriate recovery action is taken where necessary to maximise rental income.

We're looking for someone who is passionate about tenants, thrives in a fast-paced environment, and has an unshakeable positive, can-do attitude with a high level of resilience. You will be:

In return for helping to transform lives, we want to help you to transform your lifestyle by giving you access to some great benefits. This includes:

• 26 days paid annual leave (pro rata) rising to 31 days, plus public holidays
• A high street discount scheme (great savings both online and in-store)
• Pension with life assurance
• Health assistance programme
• Training opportunities to aide your own personal and professional development

In order to succeed, however, we need the right people in place. Our workforce is one of our greatest assets, but only by recruiting the very best can we continue to deliver comprehensive, good quality housing services, support and resettlement services to our residents.
