Here’s The Facts About The Role
As a neighbourhood officer, you’ll be the main contact for customers within your patch. As their go-to person, they can talk to you about a range of matters in relation to their tenancy conditions, health and safety issues, rent/service charges, repairs and more.
Your overall aim as Neighbourhood Officer, is to help create attractive, safe, sustainable and well-maintained communities for our customers to live in. As part of this, you’ll make sure we offer them good quality and ‘value for money’ services. You’ll soon get to know and understand who our customers are and be able to identify the support they may need to keep their tenancies.
As a customer-focused professional, you'll build strong relationships with our customers, providing proactive support and regular communication while delivering a responsive service. You'll work collaboratively with teams across the organisation, including lettings, income, and compliance services, and will recognise when you need to make referrals to the tenancy support team so that things are put in place for customers to keep & maintain their tenancies. You’ll also work with external partners, to help customers access the support they need. You'll also contribute to estate improvement initiatives, community engagement activities and the delivery of high-quality housing management services that provide value for money.
