About the role

Can you help our homeless households overcome the barriers to keeping their current home or finding a new one?

Working within our Housing Solutions team we are looking for individuals to work with single-person households and families to support them to remain in their accommodation or find new homes.

Based in The Guildhall in the heart of Northampton’s Cultural Quarter, the Housing Options Service serves a large and diverse community. You will work throughout West Northamptonshire as required.

Please note - previous applicants need not apply

What will you be doing?

You will work collaboratively with households at risk of homelessness to remove any barriers to their rehousing, review and update their personalised housing plan and minimise any stay in temporary accommodation.

You will assess if applicants are homeless, eligible for assistance, in priority need, and have a local connection with West Northamptonshire. Where appropriate, you will also consider if they are intentionally homeless.

You will issue legally compliant letters, referencing relevant guidance and case-law, and detailing the reasons for your decision.

About you

You are a high achiever who relishes a challenge.

You are aware of and can active work with local support agencies, health, and social services to ensure that we have sustainable and strong outcomes for families and vulnerable adults.

You have an organised approach to your work, making methodical and appropriate enquiries to confirm eligibility for housing assistance, homelessness, and priority need.

To meet the requirements of this challenging and exciting role, you will:

  • Be able to work in a fast-paced, demanding, front-line, people-focused service.
  • Have excellent negotiating and advocacy skills.
  • Have a strong understanding of the Homelessness Reduction Act and the duties it places on housing authorities.
  • Be able to understand, interpret and apply statutory legislation and related case-law.
  • be organised and methodical with an interest in housing and homelessness, a strong team ethos and a desire to make a positive difference.
