You will liaise closely with the other Housing Solutions teams including Housing Compliance, who inspect and enforce property standards within the private rented sector, as well as the teams supporting those households facing or experiencing homelessness.

We offer a flexible working environment, supportive team and management and an ongoing commitment to support your personal and career development.
