Based at King’s Court Council Office, King’s Lynn, Norfolk
Every day, people across West Norfolk face housing challenges that can have a profound impact on their lives. As a Housing Options Officer, you will play a vital role in helping individuals and families navigate these difficult situations, providing advice, support and practical solutions that can prevent homelessness and create better futures. As part of a team, you will have the opportunity to make a real difference to our community when they need it most.
This is a challenging, rewarding and varied role where no two days are the same. You will work directly with people whose circumstances are often complex, assessing housing needs, developing personalised housing plans, negotiating with landlords and partner agencies, and helping households access the support they need. You will balance compassion with professionalism, using your problem-solving skills to achieve positive outcomes and ensure we meet our statutory duties under homelessness legislation.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
