Calderdale strives to develop our community to be a more inclusive economy from which everyone benefits - to reduce inequality and build a financially and environmentally sustainable future.

Within Calderdale the Housing Options Team assist members of the public to identify a wide range of tenancy and other housing issues and provide advice and support to residents to remain in their home or find alternative suitable accommodation if they should become homeless.

We are looking to recruit a Homelessness Prevention Officer to work directly, both virtually and face to face, with a range of individuals and families at the earliest stage possible to prevent their homelessness. The person appointed should have experience of undertaking comprehensive and hands on homelessness prevention or tenancy support work and have knowledge of the rehousing options available to potentially homeless households in Calderdale.

The role will also include acting as a link worker for households with a disabled person requiring property adaptations and involve working with Calderdale Social Services departments and local hospitals.

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults and expect all staff to share this commitment. Applicants to posts that are exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act will require a DBS from the Disclosure and Barring Service before the appointment is confirmed.

**Closing Date: Sunday 10th September 2023.**

Interview Date: Friday 22nd or Monday 25th September 2023.

We may utilise digital interview methods.

On 30 January 2019, the Council declared a climate emergency in a bold move to step up its action to tackle climate change.

Calderdale Council embraces the positive benefits of a diverse workforce and we are committed to providing an environment that is inclusive.

We reserve the right to close vacancies prior to the advertised closing date, an early submission is advised.
