Are you a Housing professional with a background in anti-social behaviour and looking for an exciting new role within an organisation committed to improving lives? Are you driven by a challenge, and wanting to be part of a dynamic team, working collectively to deliver an efficient tenancy & estate management service? If so, our Housing Officer role could be the perfect job for you…

Longhurst Group is a leading housing Group across the Midlands & East of England, committed to enhancing communities and improving the lives of both our colleagues and customers. With a mission to provide quality, safe, affordable housing that build great foundations for our customers, our Housing Services team are critical to ensuring our customers are supported in their homes to successfully sustain their tenancies and build communities they feel proud to be a part of.

As a Housing Officer at Longhurst Group, you will be responsible for providing a high-level housing service for our Customers across Sleaford and surrounding areas ensuring that they always receive an excellent service. You’ll be working with our customers, engaging them and providing opportunities to be involved in their neighbourhoods, ultimately aiming to make a positive difference to the quality of life for people and communities.

Further key responsibilities are listed below:

*

Lead, manage and review complaints of anti-social behaviour, race and hate crime incidents and hoarding - working alongside the Tenancy Enforcement Team and ASB specialists across the Group.

*

Ensure that potential safeguarding issues (including tenants who have suffered domestic abuse) involving both adults and children are identified and managed in partnership with other agencies.

*

Manage all tenancies in accordance with our policies and procedures, completing new tenant visits to ensure the tenant has moved in and is complying with the terms of their tenancy. Where required, engage with our Tenancy Enforcement Team to initiate legal action for any breaches of tenancy, attending court and evictions as required.

*

Help to identify and support local initiatives which add social value; encouraging community cohesion and working in partnership with our Customer Service team to help customers to develop skills to gain training, education and employment.

In order to be successful in application for our Housing Officer role, you will need a strong knowledge of Housing Law, and a background of dealing with anti-social behaviour cases, legislation and legal processes. Having previous experience of preparing legal paperwork, engaging with legal practitioners and attending court hearings is also a must, along with good digital skills across Microsoft packages.
