- Temporary Accommodation
- Housing Register and Lettings
- Housing Strategy
- Housing Enabling and liaison with Registered Providers

A set of transformation projects are being planned to support the delivery of the new Housing Strategy and to meet challenging housing demand and supply challenges within Dorset. The role would involve work to support and deliver those projects and to achieve strong and successful outcomes.
