Bristol, United Kingdom Bristol City Council Full time

**Full Time, Permanent**

Bristol City Council’s Housing Options Service has a vacancy available for a Housing Advisor to work within the Homelessness Prevention Team.

The team are specialists in working with families and single people who are homeless, or at risk of homelessness; to ensure early intervention, prevention, and to assist households in finding solutions to their housing problems.

You must have excellent communication skills including negotiation and mediation skills and be able to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the relevant legislation.

The role is interesting and demanding, working face to face with citizens, to identify issues and steps that can be taken, to provide early intervention that prevents homelessness. It also involves liaising with a wide range of statutory and voluntary agencies, and regular communication with their representatives.

In this role you will promote and provide authoritative advice and assistance; to prevent homelessness, on a range of housing solutions, and to landlords and tenants regarding their statutory rights.

You must have excellent negotiation, problem-solving, and communication skills (particularly written); and the ability to present information in a legible and logical manner. You will also require excellent conciliation and mediation skills, to achieve effective understanding between groups with potentially conflicting objectives.

Some of these posts may involve working in specialist areas, for example working with those that are being released from prison, and this will be discussed further at interview.

**Why Bristol City Council?**

At Bristol City Council, we go that extra mile for our people; we offer a work environment which is fast moving and supportive, giving you the chance to use your skills and develop new ones within a high-profile organisation. For the majority of our roles hybrid working arrangements are available, giving teams the opportunity to work in a way that suits them, balancing service need and individual choice - mixing both home and office working.

Join us and you’ll receive an excellent rewards package including flexible working and flexitime, membership of the Local Government Pension scheme, and a generous annual leave allowance. In addition, you’ll be working in a supportive environment where you’ll have the chance to make Bristol a better place and contribute to its future.
