As a Housing Officer, you'll play a crucial role in providing support to clergy preparing for retirement. This job isn't just managing properties - you will make a significant difference to people's lives by giving them personalised support and expert advice on retirement housing, recognising their individual needs.

The Church of England Pensions Board (one of the National Church Institutions) is unique in being a pension provider and a charity focused on helping clergy find a home for their retirement. Our aim is to deliver a professional high quality, caring and efficient service to our customers, respecting their needs and the needs of those who provide us with the resources to do this.

About the role
You'll be responsible for a specific geographical area, managing both rental and shared ownership properties, working collaboratively with people from a range of organisations. You will play a key role in keeping things running smoothly, providing excellent customer service whilst ensuring we maintain compliance with our policies and processes.

Your core responsibilities will include:

  • Researching and contributing to our Housing Options library, actively creating partnerships with other providers to assist with meeting the retirement housing needs of our customers.
  • Assisting and supporting future customers with planning for their retirement, helping them to explore all housing options available to them both to ensure they are aware of their options, know how to access them and that they meet their needs.
  • Managing applications for retirement housing including initial applications, planning and arranging home visits, and signposting our customers to other housing providers where needed to ensure that their housing needs are met.
  • Advocating for our customers with specific needs, working with Occupational Therapists and other professionals, and signposting our customers to external providers to provide access to suitable housing where necessary.
  • Giving presentations (e.g. at clergy retirement seminars) and contributing to raising awareness on retirement housing options.

You'll have experience of working in and delivering an effective housing and tenancy management service within a customer-focussed organisation, and will be familiar with various housing options and solutions. You'll also need a good working knowledge of Housing Law as it applies to tenancies.

Other key requirements include:

  • Excellent communication skills with the ability to engage with our customers professionally and with empathy in person, on the phone and in writing;
  • Experience of creating and building partnerships with other agencies to support service delivery;
  • Confidence in using Microsoft Office (including Outlook), and CRM systems.
