Do you put customers at the heart of what you do?
Do you have the resilience to thrive in a busy working environment?
Do you want to be part of a productive and successful team?
If so, we would love you to apply for the post of Rehousing Officer in the Rehousing and Homelessness Team.
The role
This is a fantastic opportunity to join the busy and exciting Rehousing and Homelessness service. Rehousing Officers provide a range of operational and support functions to support customers who have a housing need.
Working within the limits of the accommodation resources available, it is not always possible to meet the accommodation aspirations of our customers; it is therefore crucial to be understanding of customers’ needs whilst managing customer expectations.
You will be working in a team with skilled and experienced Officers and Managers who will be on hand to support you.
To be successful, you will demonstrate a clear customer focus, with an ability to prioritise and organise your work. We need excellent communicators who work well on their own initiative but are also flexible team players. It is important to be resilient and hardworking, with a keenness to learn.

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.
