Come and make a difference at Karbon as a Supported Housing Officer - Part time based in Gosforth or Newburn
We're looking for a passionate and skilled individual to join us as a part time Supported Housing Officer in our Supported Housing Team. This is a fantastic opportunity to be part of a team that's making a real difference in people's lives. This is a part time position covering Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday morning.
About The Role
This role will provide an effective housing management service to all of our supported housing customers to include void management, scheme inspections, allocations, anti-social behaviour (ASB) and wider tenancy enforcement. You'll carry out accompanied viewings with customers, complete tenancy sign ups with all of our supported housing. You'll proactively manage tenancies to encourage tenancy sustainability. This will include regular customer visits, referrals to other Karbon services and liaison with external voluntary and statutory agencies.
You'll also be responsible for monitoring and reviewing Managing Agents and other external stakeholders.
About You
You should have excellent communication skills and the ability to plan and prioritise your own workload often working to targets and tight deadlines. You will be part of a team but the role does require the ability to work on your own initiative and carry out lone working in the community and in tenant's homes. Previous knowledge and experience within a social housing environment, housing legislation and knowledge of allocating and sustaining supported housing tenancies would be an advantage.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
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.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You should be able to demonstrate that you have the ability, attitude and interpersonal skills to build strong and effective relationships with customers and colleagues and support the work of Karbon in our communities.
A full UK driving licence and access to a vehicle for work purposes is essential.
