**About The Role**:
The Housing Options team is a busy statutory frontline service which seeks to sympathetically yet robustly assist those households who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless.

This Senior Housing Officer post will allow you to work across the Housing Team to support both our frontline officers and customers to actively prevent homelessness and ensure our customers receive housing advice and support efficiently.

You will have the support of a number of different teams based within the service to help you deliver the best options for our customers.

This post offers the flexibility of working in a hybrid way. There is the option to have an office base as well as working from home.

**Are you skilled in professional relationships?**

**Are you customer-orientated with exceptional communication skills?**

**Do you have an eye for detail?**

We require individuals with a keen attention to detail, capable of gathering, collating, and analysing information efficiently and meticulously. If you have a talent for uncovering the facts and piecing together information to inform decisions, we want to hear from you.

**Can you excel under pressure?**

We are seeking resilient individuals who thrive in dynamic environments, demonstrating efficiency, empathy, and the ability to manage multiple priorities simultaneously. If you can maintain your composure and deliver results under tight deadlines, you could be a perfect fit for our team.

**Further Information**:
This post requires significant travel. You must have a vehicle (or transport we deem suitable) available for use as needed.
