Housing Officer – Homeless Prevention and Housing Options Team Private Rented Sector
2 months ago
Job Description
Place
Housing Officer – Homeless Prevention and Housing Options Team Private Rented Sector (PRS)
Various Locations
Salary: £30, - £36,
Hours: 36 per week
Interview information: Please note that successfully shortlisted applicants for this post will be interviewed remotely using Microsoft Teams.
The City of Edinburgh Council’s Homelessness Prevention and Housing Options Team (HP&HOT) is at the frontline of tackling homelessness in Edinburgh.
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an HP&HOT Private Rented Sector Housing Officer to prevent and resolve homelessness in Edinburgh.
Working Monday – Friday, this role is a hybrid role where you will be working both at home and within an office setting based at High Street.
Please note that that at any point in your employment with the Council that you may be required to work in any location across Edinburgh and therefore the above location may change. The four locality bases are:
South East Office – 40 Captain’s Road, Edinburgh
North East Office – Niddrie Mains Road, Edinburgh
North West Office – 8 West Pilton Gardens, Edinburgh
South West Office – 10 Westside Plaza, Edinburgh
The HP&HOT PRS Housing Officer will work in a statutory service and be fully responsible for providing tailored housing options advice, information and support referrals to prevent homelessness for those who are currently in Private Rented accommodation or assist those looking to access Private Rented accommodation.
The HP&;HOT PRS Housing Officer will fulfil the Council’s duties by working to legislative and good practice requirements and in collaboration with many other statutory services and partner organisations to make key statutory decisions about customer’s entitlement to services.
You will be involved in the development of this service and the promotion of this service to customers including Landlords and relevant Agencies.
There will be an expectation that you will participate on a rota and cover basis and may be required to provide cover or be required to reschedule your diary at very short notice to ensure our statutory duties are achieved. As such this role requires you to display resilience on a daily basis and the ability to take ownership and responsibility of applicable tasks when working in an often-challenging role with households who are experiencing crisis situations.
The successful candidate will therefore have a proven track record of working within a challenging frontline service.
This post is regulated work with children and/or protected adults under the Protection of Vulnerable Groups (Scotland) Act . The preferred candidate will be required to join the PVG Scheme or undergo a PVG Scheme update check. Where an individual has spent a continuous period of 3 months or more out with the UK in the last 5 years, an Overseas Criminal Record Check will be required. You will be required to provide this check. An unconditional offer of employment and commencement in the post will be subject to the outcome of both these pre-employment checks being deemed satisfactory.
We're committed to creating a workplace culture where all our people feel valued, included and able to be their best at work, and we recognise the benefits that a diverse workforce with different values, beliefs, experience, and backgrounds brings to us as an organisation.
As part of our goal to improve our organisational culture and create a great place to work together for the people of Edinburgh, we want to make sure that we’re bringing the best people into our roles, not just in their skills and experience but also in their approach to work.
Requirements
To help achieve this, we’re changing the way we interview and assess candidates by moving from a competency-based interview approach to a behavioural and technical (skills for the job) based approach. This new way of interviewing will allow us to assess how you think and how you would bring Our Behaviours of Respect, Integrity and Flexibility into your ways of working.
