Description

The job itself

We have an exciting opportunity to join the Housing Services Section in delivering front line services to the public. This is a time of change for Social Housing Providers which will involve changes in the services offered and the interaction with consumers. We are looking for a person who is not only keen to manage on a day to day basis a patch of approx 300 council properties, but also is keen to develop resident involvement and the housing service within the area.

The post will be based at County Hall Beverley however the Council anticipates that the successful candidate will work in a blended way combining both working from home, from other centres and the office and is keen to offer flexibility to this role where this benefits both residents and officers.

The work is challenging and varied including general tenancy and estate management (& which includes progressing possession cases through the County Court), housing allocations and void property control, providing housing advice/options and taking the lead with requests for assistance made under the provisions of the homeless persons legislation.

The successful applicant must have a sound knowledge of housing legislation and policy and have extensive experience in Housing, however we are keen to help officers to develop and will offer both professional and specialist training to the right candidate.
