Huntingdonshire District Council (HDC) is passionate about providing high-quality services to our communities, residents and businesses. This means we must employ and retain the most talented and dedicated people.

Situated within the heart of the Cambridge-Peterborough Growth Area, Huntingdonshire is a beautiful district that boasts thriving market towns and many attractive villages, each with its own identity.

At HDC we want to employ staff who embody our **icare** values (**Inspiring, Collaborative, Accountable, Respectful, Enterprising**), all of which support our ultimate purpose of putting our customers first.

**Job details**:
Join Huntingdonshire District Council as a Private Sector Housing Officer, where you will play a pivotal role in shaping our Empty Homes Strategy.

**About the role**:
Your primary objective will be to investigate and address the challenges posed by empty properties, working diligently to bring them back into use. You will collaborate closely with various teams, including Environmental Health and Housing Delivery, to develop innovative solutions that enhance our housing landscape.

Your responsibilities will include managing casework, conducting site visits, and ensuring compliance with relevant legislation. As you maintain meticulous records and provide data analysis, your contributions will directly impact the delivery of affordable housing options in the district.

This is an exciting opportunity for a proactive individual who thrives in a dynamic environment and is passionate about making a difference in our community.

**About you**:
We are looking for a dedicated professional with a strong desire to learn and grow within the housing sector. Using your excellent organisational and communication skills, you will engage effectively with a diverse range of stakeholders.

Your experience in managing empty homes, coupled with your ability to navigate complex regulations, will be essential in ensuring compliance and delivering results. Being energised by challenges, you approach them with creativity and resilience, always ready to adapt your strategies as needed.

A background in local government or public sector work is advantageous, but your commitment to serving the community and your ability to foster positive relationships will be the key to your success in this role. If you are ready to take on this rewarding challenge and contribute to a progressive and supportive team, we invite you to apply.
