Lowestoft, United Kingdom East Suffolk Council Full time

**East Suffolk Council, Lowestoft NR33 0EQ or Melton, Woodbridge IP12 1RT**:

- **£27,344 - £30,151 per annum**:

- **37 hours per week**:

- **Fixed term until March 2025**

East Suffolk Council is an exciting place to work, delivering essential local services and making a real difference to a quarter of a million people across East Suffolk.

We currently have an opportunity to join East Suffolk Council's Housing Needs Team as a **Procurement and Tenancy Sustainment Officer.**

The Council has been working closely with the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC) under the Rough Sleeper Initiative provision to address rough sleeping within its district.

As an existing and established role within the service, you will be managing a caseload of customers who are currently experiencing a housing crisis and assist them with their move-on options. You will provide a service that seeks to minimise the duration of that crisis by understanding the complex, multiple needs as well as strengths of those individuals/households. You will help to develop trusting, non-dependent relationships to improve their confidence and motivation to progress towards their next step in housing.

You should have practical experience of working with landlords, letting agencies and tenants, as well as knowledge and understanding of housing standards, welfare benefit legislation, housing and homelessness legislation, and tenancy sustainment and employment options. Excellent communication skills and the ability to empower others to progress through their individual action plans will be essential for this role.
