Wigan, United Kingdom Serco Plc Full time

**Salary**: £25,500

**Working hours**: Full Time, 37.5 hours per week (typical working hours Mon - Fri 08:00 - 18:00. You will be required to be on call rota on average every 10 weeks)

We currently have several contractual options i.e. Permanent & FTC available which will be discussed at interview stage.

You are required to have a valid UK driving licence for this role. You will be provided with a company car.

On behalf of the Home Office, Serco manages the Asylum Accommodation and Support Services Contract (AASC). We focus on assisting individuals through the asylum system, ensuring that vulnerable asylum seekers have access to the support they need along with a high standard of accommodation. We currently have vacancies in Wigan.

Our Housing Officers (HO’s) are responsible for ensuring compliance with the AASC Contract, company policies, processes, and procedures through their liaison with Staff, Service Users, Landlords, External Agencies and Partners. You will be covering multiple areas in Lancashire and ensuring that all properties within the allocated portfolio are safe, habitable, fit for purpose and fully equipped in accordance with AASC Standards. There is a requirement to operate an Emergency On-Call system outside of normal working hours amongst all Housing Officers on a rota basis.

This role is suited to someone with a solid work history dealing with people face to face and enjoys a demanding workload where you get to utilise your organisations skills whilst remaining calm under pressure and supporting our service users. You will be expected to travel between properties in Lancashire so you must hold a valid UK drivers’ licence and be enthusiastic about taking on a range of accountabilities such as:
Complete a Monthly Inspection of all Properties within the allocated portfolio in accordance with the standard defined within the AASC Contract and property standards guide.
Manage on-boarding and withdrawal of properties within allocated portfolio in accordance with the Housing Officer Local Operating Procedures (LOP).
Report all property faults identified, correctly categorising them for appropriate response.
Complete all minor Property repairs within the scope enabled by training, experience and the toolkit and spares provided.
Administration of operational cash to enable the completion of tasks such as topping up of utility meters & emergency cash payments.
Respond to customer complaints

What you’ll need to do the role

Whilst experience in a previous property related role is beneficial, this isn’t a requirement, more importantly is your desire and enthusiasm to make a difference. You will be expected to take on a variety of tasks to support our service users and some may be challenging - dealing with anti-social behaviours, medical needs, management of child safeguarding needs etc.

You will have strong communication skills and be confident managing conflict.

Why Serco

**Meaningful and vital work**: As part of a highly collaborative team, you’ll be able to strongly influence hiring managers efforts that help us deliver vital services.

**A world of opportunity**: Working for a globally operating business delivering essential services across 5 vital sectors, your next opportunity and challenge won’t be hard to find.
