Job Opportunity: Void Support Officer
Are you self-motivated, enthusiastic, and reliable, and looking for a role where you can get out across Sheffield, support customers, and help bring empty homes back into use?
If so, this is the job for you!
The Housing Voids team manages Sheffield City Council’s empty properties from when a tenancy ends, through to the home being ready for a new tenant. We are a large, vibrant, and supportive team, committed to making sure homes are ready to let and available for the people who need them.
This is a varied role where no two days are exactly the same. You will meet customers, visit different types of properties across the city, work closely with colleagues, and see the direct impact of your work as empty properties are brought back into use.
Your Responsibilities Will Include:
- Visiting customers’ homes before they leave to give advice, raise repair orders, and discuss any potential charges.
- Visiting empty properties across Sheffield to check their general condition, identify any issues that need follow-up, and help make sure homes are ready for the next customer.
- Completing checks and post repair inspections after work has been completed.
- Carrying out customer viewings and tenancy sign-ups.
- Recording information from visits and inspections accurately, including updates to our voids and maintenance systems.
As a Void Support Officer, you will build practical housing knowledge, develop your inspection and customer service skills, and play a direct part in helping our customers into new homes. Previous experience of visiting customers or working in customer service would be useful, but it is not essential. We will provide thorough training, so this could be a great opportunity if you have strong people skills, enjoy practical work, and are keen to learn about housing.
