West Cheshire is a place where everyone can Thrive - through our core values of Teamwork, Honesty, Respect, Innovation, Value for Money and Empowerment.


The role involves supporting prison leavers into private rented accommodation and helping them maintain the tenancy to prevent future homelessness.

You will be a point of contact for tenants, landlords and partner agencies including the Prison and Probation Service.

Landlord liaison and tenant support are important elements of the role and you will:

  • Carry out support needs assessments and affordability checks
  • Advise and direct tenants on direct rent payments to landlords
  • Help tenants pay for white goods and furniture
  • Provide ongoing support to prevent homelessness or a return to prison
  • Work with the team to find new landlords and retain current landlords


The main office location is The Portal, Ellesmere Port, however, as this role is a Hybrid Flexible Worker this means that the role will be required to work either frequent or infrequently from home or multiple Council offices or partner offices and there is a regular requirement to work collaboratively as part of a team.

Cheshire West and Chester Council are committed to equality and diversity in employment. Please see the Equality Policy for more information.


Cheshire West and Chester Council have adopted a Local Living Wage for our employees which means that all employees will receive a minimum of £10.90 per hour for all contracted hours.
