The Post
As an Area Tenancy Manager (Housing Officer), you’ll manage end-to-end tenancies for a patch of social tenants or licensees. You will provide varied support to Brent residents to help them live safely and comfortably in their homes, acting as the face of the landlord for your patch.
You'll have the opportunity to develop detailed knowledge across various areas of tenancy management, including voids, lettings, income and arrears, anti-social behaviour (ASB), and providing support based on an individual person’s needs. This role is an excellent career opportunity to develop varied skills, experience and knowledge across the social housing sector.
With a consistent and smaller patch of properties, you’ll improve the quality and perception of the Housing Management Service. You’ll work with services across the Council to ensure vulnerable tenants have access to services they need, and Brent’s estates and homes are good quality, safe, and secure.
