  * Support the lettings team with the management and turnaround of vacant properties.

  * Respond to resident enquiries and complaints, aiming to resolve issues effectively at the earliest opportunity.

  * Maintain accurate records and ensure confidential and sensitive information is handled appropriately.

  * Liaise with contractors, colleagues, external agencies and other stakeholders to ensure residents receive an effective service.

About You

  * Experience working with older people, ideally within housing, supported housing, sheltered accommodation or a similar environment.

  * Experience of tenancy management, housing support or resident-facing services.

  * A good understanding of the needs of older residents and the services available to support independent living.

  * Confident dealing with resident queries, low-level ASB, disputes and sensitive situations.

  * Strong communication, interpersonal and customer service skills.

  * Able to prioritise workloads and work effectively to deadlines.

  * Comfortable completing health and safety checks, compliance tasks and maintaining accurate records.

  * Good IT skills and the ability to maintain computerised information and documentation.

  * A proactive, organised and approachable manner.
