Maintain strong stakeholder relationships and represent the Council in forums and partnerships. Support the management team in working across the Council to ensure homelessness and housing delivery are core elements to other relevant strategies. Engage with development scheme management and the governance processes. Any-Desk: As an ‘any-desk’ worker, you’ll need to be connected to our network to access digital folders and resources, but this can either be from home or an office location when required.
