About the Role

As a Resident Liaison Officer supporting our program, you will be a visible, approachable and reliable point of contact for residents throughout improvement works to their homes.

• Listen respectfully to enquiries, concerns and complaints, work with the relevant teams to resolve issues and keep residents updated on progress.
• Recognise and report welfare or safeguarding concerns through the appropriate channels, maintaining confidentiality and professional boundaries.
• Work closely with site managers, subcontractors and client representatives to ensure resident commitments and agreed support arrangements are understood.
