The Role - Housing Officer

Working as part of an area housing team, the Housing Officer will deliver a mobile, patch-based housing management service, including duties such as attending appointments with service families as they move in and out of their homes and while they are in occupation.

The Housing Officer will play a key role in developing relationships and engaging with stakeholders to ensure families receive a great service which focuses on putting families first.

Duties/Key Responsibilities

  • Provide services to families as part of the occupancy cycle, such as planning, attending, and administering pre move out, move out, pre move in, move in and 14-day observation (settling in) visit appointments while working collaboratively with industry partners to meet the required standards.
  • Work in partnership with industry partners to achieve the contractual move standards, ensuring families receive high quality homes and a welcoming/helpful service.
  • Ensure contractual property standards are met and recharges are applied and allocated to service families where necessary, using an evidence-based approach.
  • Use effective communication and diplomacy skills when consulting with families and stakeholders.
  • Ensure families and the places that they live receive a comprehensive patch management service by raising, reporting, and monitoring any health and safety concerns, issues which impact on service families lived experience in their homes and or the areas they live in.
  • In liaison with regional colleagues and managers, proactively plan, monitor, and manage routine appointments, ensuring that any short notice changes are communicated immediately to relevant internal and external stakeholders.
  • Ensure garage voids are minimal and garages are managed/maintained efficiently and effectively along with accurate record keeping.
  • Liaise, engage, and work in partnership with a range of internal and external stakeholders including planning and coordinating patch / location walkabouts with stakeholders.
  • Consult with and work in partnership with local agencies, charities, support providers, military liaison officers, service hubs and statutory authorities to deliver joined up support and services to families.
  • Support large scale and sometimes short notice moves which may require regional and national travel with overnight stays – includes covering other Housing Officers’ planned and unplanned short notice absence.
  • Participate and support events and a range of activities to engage with service personnel and their representatives including planning, organising, and attending one off and routine service family housing surgeries and stakeholder meetings.
  • Lead and assist in the investigation and resolution of complaints and occupancy breaches to a successful conclusion – drafting responses and reports as required.
  • Implement and deliver contractual and operational services, processes, procedures and working practices using the approved systems, templates, and software.
  • Complete and maintain accurate and detailed records in all operational systems and templates following the principle of high-quality case work for ‘in occupancy’ services/enquiries.
  • Support the contractual requirement for aids and adaptations and CAAS where this is Housing Officer support required.
  • Maintain the highest standards of conduct and integrity ensuring that service families, colleagues, and stakeholders are treated fairly, irrespective of race, gender, disability, creed, or sexual orientation.
  • Support and contribute to initiatives and projects.
  • Support the production of operational performance reports.
  • Contribute to continuous improvement and the development of processes and good practice.
