Rochdale, Rochdale, United Kingdom Rochdale Council Full time
About the Role

Rochdale Council's Strategic Housing team is undertaking a customer-focused transformation programme, which includes the creation of two new service areas: 'People' and 'Property'. Both services work together to deliver housing solutions across the Borough, including through our new customer delivery office in the town centre. We require experienced housing professionals who are passionate about the real-life difference that quality housing makes in our community and who will want to be integral to that delivery.

We have an exciting vacancy for a Housing Standards Officer to contribute towards our vision for excellent strategic housing within the Borough. The Officer will work within the Supported Housing Team, which focuses on privately-owned supported exempt accommodation, assessing and enforcing housing and support standards.

The post is initially fixed for 12 months, but there is a likelihood that it will become permanent.

About You

We require an individual who is passionate about the real-life difference that quality housing makes in our community and who will want to be a proactive part of our service achieving that aim. A key function of the role will be to engage with landlords, principally in the Supported Housing sector, tenants/licensees, service providers, and other key stakeholders to monitor and promote and enforce housing standards.

You will need to be able to undertake technical assessments, including HHSRS assessments, and have practical knowledge of housing standards, as pertain to the Housing Act 2004 and relevant regulations and enforcement options.

You will relish the challenge of engaging with colleagues, residents, landlords, tenants, customers, and third-sector partners. You will be capable of prioritizing tasks, delivering on set timetables, and ensuring timely completion of project commitments. You will be capable of maintaining case files, spreadsheets, and developing new systems for recording and reporting on service outcomes.

You should have a strong background relating to the job description and person specification and will be able to demonstrate relevant experience. You will have an ability to independently develop, manage, and maintain a multi-priority workload within a fast-paced work environment.
