You will also establish eligibility for the council’s various homelessness prevention schemes.
You will work with households to determine what support they may require and refer to relevant support services. You may also be required to co-ordinate a multi-agency response and attend safeguarding meetings.
You will take lead responsibility to maintain effective contact with households whilst they are working with the council to develop creative solutions to resolve their housing situation.
What we need from you
You will hold a professional qualification (HND/HNC in Housing, NVQ Level 4 or Equivalent) and/or considerable experience of housing and homelessness legislation.
You’ll have an understanding of housing remedies with considerable experience of delivering housing access and homelessness services with knowledge of relevant legislation.
You will have experience of dealing with customers, voluntary bodies and the understanding of the needs of the vulnerable people and minority groups
You have the ability to manage you workload, respond to emergency assessments and be flexible along with team working and making a positive contribution.
Ideally, you will have an awareness of the link between good advice and the use of resources.
