About the Role
We're looking for a Housing Advice Officer to join our busy team. You'll provide high-quality housing advice and work directly with residents who are facing homelessness or housing difficulties.

Giving clear, practical housing advice on homelessness, landlord/tenant issues, affordability, and domestic abuse.
Preventing homelessness wherever possible by negotiating with landlords, family members, and other agencies.
Assessing homelessness applications and making legally robust decisions.
Working with partners such as private landlords, housing associations, and support agencies to source accommodation and support.
Putting the customer at the heart of everything you do, especially vulnerable households who may need extra support.
About You
We're looking for someone who is:
Experienced in housing, homelessness, tenancy management, or a related area.
Knowledgeable about housing law, homelessness legislation, and welfare benefits (or eager to learn quickly).
A strong communicator, able to build trust and negotiate effectively.
Highly organised, able to manage a busy caseload to statutory deadlines.
Committed to fairness, safeguarding, and providing excellent customer service.
What We Offer
A supportive and collaborative team environment.
Ongoing training and development to build your housing law expertise.
The opportunity to make a direct and positive impact on people's lives.
