Agencies
Eastlight’s current agency PSL is at capacity, so we will not be able to consider candidate applications introduced by agencies outside of our selected suppliers.
Who We Are
Eastlight Community Homes is proud to be the largest community gateway social housing provider in the country. Together with our residents and communities, we create safe, affordable homes and neighbourhoods that people are proud to live in.
The Role
We are seeking a Neighbourhood Lead to join our Regional Neighbourhood Team on a permanent, part-time basis at 14.5 hours per week.
In this frontline role, you’ll be the main point of contact for residents, ensuring homes, estates, and communities are well managed, safe, and welcoming. You’ll handle a wide range of housing management duties including lettings, tenancy visits, rent account support, and dealing with tenancy changes or breaches. Regular estate inspections, resolving anti-social behaviour, and supporting residents with advice, signposting, and safeguarding are also key parts of the role. Working closely with colleagues, contractors, and local partners, you’ll help deliver joined-up services and drive improvements across our neighbourhoods.
