**The difference you will make as a Housing Project Assistant**

You will be based at Chevin House which provides housing for customers aged 18+ and experiencing homelessness. You will also occasionally travel to nearby shared accommodation to provide housing-related support to the customers.

You’ll also log all incidents to make sure we have an accurate record of events. And when a customer leaves, you will clean and prepare their room, ready for the next occupant.

- Competitive pay & generous pension
