Our Vacancy
Investigation Officer – Neighbourhoods (Tenancy Fraud)
North-East Region (Hackney, Tower Hamlets & Islington)
Make a real impact where it matters most
This is not your typical desk-based role. As our Investigation Officer, you’ll lead on tackling tenancy fraud across a high-profile and complex region, helping protect homes for those who need them most.
Part of a specialist team of four, you’ll act as the fraud lead for your region, building strong partnerships, influencing decisions and delivering meaningful outcomes for our communities.
What You’ll Be Doing
This is a varied, hands-on role where no two days are the same. You could be:
- Visiting properties, gathering evidence and conducting interviews
- Preparing legal cases or attending court
- Delivering presentations and advising colleagues
You’ll
- Lead tenancy fraud investigations from start to finish
- Work closely with Local Authorities across Hackney, Tower Hamlets and Islington
- Partner with Neighbourhoods, Lettings and Legal teams
- Provide expert advice and influence decision-making
- Build strong, trusted relationships internally and externally
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
This is a hybrid role, but requires regular travel, including property visits often outside of standard office and court attendance.
What We’re Looking For
- Experience in housing and/or fraud investigations
- Strong knowledge of tenancy fraud, housing law and data protection
- Confidence to lead, influence and present
- Strong IT skills, including CRM systems
This is a challenging role requiring you to work independently, exercise sound judgement, and influence a wide range of stakeholders. You’ll bring strong analytical skills, a proactive approach, and the ability to build trusted relationships across partners, managing complex situations with professionalism and confidence.
You’ll Be
- Calm, resilient and professional
- Highly organised with sound judgement
- Comfortable working in the field and attending court
- A strong collaborator and relationship builder
Qualifications
- Counter Fraud qualification (e.g. ACFS/PINS), or willingness to work towards one
