Job Purpose

The Housing Solutions Officer will support households living in temporary accommodation by providing high-quality housing management, tenancy support, and customer-focused housing solutions.

  • Act as the primary point of contact for residents, responding to enquiries, complaints, and tenancy-related matters in a timely and professional manner.
  • Support residents in identifying and securing suitable move-on accommodation, including private rented sector housing opportunities.
  • Investigate and resolve tenancy breaches, anti-social behaviour (ASB), neighbour disputes, and other tenancy management issues.
  • Monitor and manage property conditions, ensuring temporary accommodation is maintained to the required standards.
  • Liaise with contractors, landlords, managing agents, and internal teams to ensure repairs and maintenance issues are addressed promptly.
  • Investigate housing-related complaints and provide appropriate resolutions in line with policies and procedures.
  • Conduct tenancy visits, property inspections, and occupancy checks as required.
  • Maintain accurate records and case notes, ensuring all actions and communications are recorded appropriately.
  • Work collaboratively with homelessness, housing needs, and other support services to deliver positive outcomes for residents.
  • Ensure compliance with relevant housing legislation, policies, and procedures.
  • Contribute to service improvement initiatives and support the delivery of excellent customer service across the department.

Requirements

Essential

  • Experience working within Housing Management, Homelessness Services, Temporary Accommodation, or a related housing environment.
  • Knowledge of housing legislation, homelessness legislation, and tenancy management practices.
  • Experience managing tenancy-related issues, including complaints, repairs, and anti-social behaviour cases.
  • Strong customer service skills with the ability to build effective relationships with residents and stakeholders.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
  • Ability to manage a varied caseload and work effectively under pressure.
  • Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to identify practical and innovative housing solutions.
  • Good IT skills, including experience using housing management systems and Microsoft Office applications.
  • Ability to work independently while contributing positively within a team environment.

Desirable

  • Experience working within a local authority housing service.
  • Knowledge of temporary accommodation management and private rented sector housing.
