Specialist Supported Housing Officer
7 months ago
At The Housing Network we believe that when vulnerable people have a good home and a helping hand, they become more independent and less reliant on local authorities and that is exactly what we aim to achieve.
We partner with local authorities and other organisations and provide good quality, safe places for people to live. We understand that each situation and resident is different, so we work hard to provide the right homes quickly that ensure each individual is looked after well. Whether the need is temporary, supported shared, or more specialist accommodation, all of our properties meet the same quality standards, are well looked after and have a 24/7 maintenance service that fixes problems day or night.
**Job Overview**
Working to support our contract with the Ministry of Justice, this role involves managing a number of self-contained and small shared accommodation properties within **Nottingham**. In addition to providing proactive property management, the role involves engaging with service users (People on Probation) who may have complex needs on release from prison, with the goal of ensuring a smooth transition into the allocated accommodation. The role does include an element of supervision to ensure house rules and license agreements are being adhered to, along with offering housing related support and signposting where needed.
While you will be part of a small regional team and a larger business, this is predominantly a lone working role and you will need to be comfortable driving between locations.
**Responsibilities & Duties**
- Engaging with individuals with complex needs, being able to work without supervision.
- Ensuring properties are safe, secure and clean.
- Ensure accommodation is prepared and ready for occupation in accordance with company timescales.
- Performing all necessary functions to manage the move in/move out process.
- Proactively identify and resolve all property and maintenance related issues efficiently, where applicable in conjunction with the maintenance and/or cleaning teams.
- Undertaking weekly visits to all properties and ensuring residents are adhering to the “house rules” and have not abandoned their accommodation.
- Manage reports of Anti-Social Behaviour and where necessary sometimes in conjunction with the CPP and actively engage in conflict resolution wherever possible.
- Build positive relationships with service users and appropriately deal with any emergency situations which may arise during the course of work under guidance from local management teams and other professionals.
- Meeting tight deadlines and making properties available within agreed timescales.
- Inventory management of all soft furnishings and sundry items.
- To keep accurate and timely records in accordance with departmental policy.
- To attend mandatory training and participate in staff development courses as appropriate.

- Resilient and able to deal with people who are complex and sometimes challenging.
- Methodical in approach to ensure everything is done accurately and comprehensively.
