Salary Band C: £29,352 - £32,904

Our dedicated Housing Team have a strong track record of helping customers and partners prevent homelessness across our districts, and we are now looking for a proactive Housing Income Officer (Systems) to make a real difference. 

In this role you will provide dedicated income management support to the Temporary Accommodation (TA) service. The postholder will be responsible for maximising the collection of rent (current and arrears) and temporary accommodation charges ensuring accurate administration, effective customer engagement and robust debt recovery.

Key Responsibilities

This role requires strong decision-making, risk awareness, and a solid understanding of housing legislation and debt recovery processes to protect revenue streams whilst supporting vulnerable residents. 

You will ensure that residents fully understand their responsibilities to pay their accommodation charges and the consequences of non-payment.

The work undertaken by the postholder directly influences and impacts the effectiveness and workload of multiple teams to include Housing Management, TA Officers, Benefits, Revenues, Early Help, Finance, Legal Services, Safeguarding, Customers Services and many external support agencies.

This role operates in demanding and sometimes challenging conditions, including regular visits to TA properties which demand adherence to lone working protocols. It requires working to tight deadlines with high workloads and can be emotionally challenging particularly when working with complex and vulnerable residents and requires resilience and self-awareness from the post holder.

What We're Looking For

We're seeking a proactive and well-organised individual who can build effective relationships with residents, colleagues and stakeholders and who is confident working in partnership with a range of stakeholders. This is a dynamic, fast-paced role that requires flexibility, adaptability, and the ability to navigate complex situations while delivering effective solutions.

Closing Date: 27 September 2026

Interview Date: 09 October 2026

You will be joining a progressive and supportive organisation that is committed to making a positive impact on the communities we serve.
