4 months ago


Gateshead, United Kingdom Gateshead Council Full time

Do you want a role where you’re recognised for what you do, given the opportunity to thrive and have the chance to be the best version of yourself? Do you want to work with us in helping to create spaces that are great to work and/or live in? If so, please keep reading as you’re just what we’re looking for

We’ve got an exciting opportunity for a Contracts and Performance Officer to join our brilliant new Strategic Housing Service whose ambition is to deliver on the aims set out in our housing strategies and the promises we make to our customers. Interested in joining a great organisation with an employee offer and experience that rivals others, then this could be an opportunity you just don’t want to miss.

**About the role.**

Gateshead’s Homelessness and Rough Sleeping Strategy sets out that homelessness should be a rare occurrence, that where it does happen - there will be positive outcomes for people, that we want no-one sleeping rough or in unsuitable accommodation and that homelessness should be a one-off occurrence.

This post will play a huge role in helping us to deliver upon these key strategic aims through improved contract and performance monitoring of our accommodation and support services, across the borough, to ensure high quality provision, that offers value for money.

The postholder will work as part of a multidisciplinary team that includes Supported Housing Inspection Officers as well as Housing Benefit Expertise, to ensure a joined-up approach to improving supported accommodation across the borough - as part of our successful funding bid from the Supported Housing Improvement Programme. We also have an exciting Homelessness and Allocations Project underway which will see the creation of a new ‘Gateway’ being developed for accessing Homelessness Accommodation and Support, ensuring a more joined up and effective approach for our customers.

We are looking for someone who has experience of working in a customer focused environment, has provided effective contract/performance management, has undertaken reviews of service provision and produced related reports and has developed documents/systems and processes to support contract/performance management. The successful applicant will also need to have good verbal and written communication skills, numerical/IT skills, analytical skills and experience of managing budgets. Essential qualifications are - GCSE Maths or English at Grade C/Level 5 or above and 2 A Levels or equivalent qualification

This is a really exciting time to join our Strategic Housing Service as we embark on a journey of change to deliver our wider Housing Improvement Programme and the postholder will play a significant role in improving outcomes for our residents, including those who are most vulnerable.

**What’s in it for you? Well, there’s so much on offer and here’s just a few of the highlights**
- You’ll be paid a competitive salary plus additional allowances where relevant
- We’ll help you save for your future with an outstanding employer contribution to your pension of approximately 18.9% per year
- You’ll get a generous annual leave package of 28 days annual leave for new employees, rising to 32 days after 5 years continuous local government service.
- You have the chance to buy up to 10 additional holidays per year.
- You’ll have access to great health and wellbeing support, including discounted membership to GO Gateshead Leisure Services and ability to use our cycle to work scheme
- You will receive a generous mileage allowance when using your vehicle for work purposes
- We’ll give you the chance to take advantage of various offers and discounts on shopping and household spend; including O2, Virgin Media and Dell
