BCOP is a local charity that has, for the last 70 years, supported older people living in Birmingham. We have three nursing homes, 4 supported living schemes and 6 independent living schemes within the area.
We firmly believe that people are at the heart of everything do and are committed to working well together and adapting to our resident’s needs.
We are currently looking for a Tenant Support Officer who shares our beliefs and is committed to providing a high quality service to our tenants at Harvey Court, Tile Cross, West Birmingham. Must also be prepared to travel to our other locations, Moseley, Handsworth Wood & Bartley Green.
As the Tenant Support Officer you will be providing a comprehensive service to our tenants. You will be required to undertake a variety of tasks ranging from completing void checks, showing prospective tenants around the site and completing welfare checks on tenants. It will also involve supporting the Housing Manager in delivering a high-quality rent collection and arrears recovery service, whilst ensuring accurate records are kept on each tenant using our Internal Housing Management system. You will need the ability to handle tenant issues, such as anti-social behaviour and resolving conflict, as well as having a hands on approach in supporting some of our more vulnerable residents and maintaining the cleanliness and tidiness of the site.
To excel in this role you will need to be a people person who is willing to go the extra mile to support our tenants. Ideally you will have experience in a similar role with a working knowledge of housing issues and legislation. Experience in a care giving role would also be desirable. You will also need to demonstrate excellent communication skills with the ability to listen, question and influence when needed. Excellent IT skills are also required.
As an organisation fully committed to the welfare of vulnerable adults, a thorough vetting process is carried out as part of the appointment process including verification of identity, eligibility to work in the UK and an enhanced DBS check with a check against the adult barred list.
