Housing Officer (Permanent, Full - Time, Mon - Fri, 9am - 5pmi) Salary; £31888.35 - £33502.95

BCHA is a forward thinking, dynamic and vibrant place to work. We employ great people who are committed to our values and want to achieve the best outcomes for those most in need of our services to ‘find a way forward’.

We look for enthusiastic, passionate, caring people who thrive on delivering effective services and going the extra mile. In exchange for your commitment, we will make sure you get the rewards, training and benefits you deserve. Our aim is to create a professional environment in which you can thrive: we want you to be able to be your best self in the workplace.

Position:

Are you passionate about supporting people to sustain their tenancies and thrive in their communities? At BCHA, we’re looking for a dedicated Housing Officer to join our team and take ownership of a patch of properties, providing a high-quality, person-centred housing management service.

What you’ll be doing:

Proactively manage a patch of BCHA properties, supporting customers to sustain their tenancies in line with legislation, regulations, and our policies. Be a visible and approachable presence in your patch — building relationships, identifying support needs, and helping customers achieve positive outcomes. Maximise rental income by managing arrears effectively, encouraging a rent-first culture from day one. Support customers with financial wellbeing, including setting up payment plans and helping them access financial inclusion services. Manage tenancy matters, including sign-ups, successions, assignments, notices, court work, and evictions. Respond to and deter anti-social behaviour (ASB) using the full range of legal tools and working alongside agencies like the police and local ASB teams. Oversee voids and tenancy terminations, managing referrals, assessments, and ensuring KPI targets are met. Carry out regular estate inspections, prioritising health and safety, and working collaboratively to maintain safe, well-managed environments. Deliver an Intensive Housing Management service, supporting customers with bidding and personal housing plans.
