SNG (Sovereign Network Group) is one of the largest housing associations in England. We provide 86,000 homes and invest in communities across London, the South East, South West and East of England, as well as aiming to create thousands of new affordable homes every year.
We have an opportunity for a Lettings Officer to join our team in Exeter. This is a full-time permanent role which will embrace SNG's hybrid principle, with a blend of home, office and on-site working.
The Role
As Lettings Officer, you'll be responsible for managing the customer journey from tenancy end through to a successful new letting. Working closely across teams, you will ensure that our homes are let appropriately, while maintaining high data quality and compliance standards.
A large part of your role will be to carry out in-depth interviews with applicants to assess their eligibility for housing - therefore having a diplomatic and confidential approach is a key requirement of this position.
