About the Role
As a Lettings Officer, you will be responsible for managing the entire lettings process – from the point a tenant gives notice to the successful sign-up of the new resident. This is a key role in reducing void turnaround times, minimizing rent loss, and ensuring new tenants are welcomed into safe, well-maintained homes.
Your responsibilities will include:
* Managing all housing management phases of the voids and lettings process. Working closely with the Allocations Team, Voids Team, and contractors to achieve turnaround targets.
* Conducting pre-inspections, accompanied viewings, and tenancy sign-ups (in-person and virtual).
* Providing information on tenancy rights and responsibilities, property condition standards, and the allocations process.
* Offering a customer-focused, “estate agency” style approach to viewings, promoting the benefits of each property.
* Ensuring accurate record keeping and reporting of lettings activity. Supporting residents with advice on moving, tenancy obligations, and general housing queries.
* Attending evictions and arranging follow-up actions as required.
* Providing excellent customer service and responding to enquiries within agreed timeframes.
What We’re Looking For We’re looking for:
* Experience in a lettings role or similar housing function (desirable).
* Experience working with the public or in a customer service environment (essential).
* Good communication skills, both written and verbal.
* The ability to manage and prioritize tasks in a fast-paced, front-line service.
