The opportunity

It’s an exciting time for us as we have recently acquired a new homeless property to support young people aged 18-25 at risk of homelessness and rough sleeping, which will be ready in January 2025.

Because of this, we’re now seeking a Specialist Accommodation Officer –someone to be responsible for ensuring our young person’s accommodation are safe, and well-maintained places to live.

Working closely with customers and their representatives, you’ll support sustainable licenses by identifying a different proactive approach to resolving anti-social behaviour cases including a restorative approach. You’ll facilitate and attend multi-agency case conferences and problem-solving groups, coordinating results and any actions required and conduct individual room inspections at the scheme, identify actions (e.g., Repairs, breaches) as appropriate and raise with the relevant team or external agency

Providing general and practical advice on housing related support queries, welfare benefits, crime prevention, and housing options, you’ll be responsible for the effective case management to maximise income collection for the scheme. Recording and reporting all safeguarding concerns, incidents and sharing appropriately with the wider team and your manager, you’ll manage all breaches of licenses effectively, ensuring that appropriate action is taken in accordance with the trauma informed approaches with an aim to sustain licences, only taking enforcement action as a last resort.

We’d like you to have…

Proven understanding of delivering housing management functions and statutory housing services. Good understanding of housing and property management, especially in relation to licence agreements and the legal remedies. Experience of anti-social behaviour case management, income collection and relevant criminal and civil legislation.

Current knowledge and understanding of relevant housing law in application within specialist housing, including experience of rent collection, ASB and enforcement action. Sound understanding of Safeguarding and the ability to identify safeguarding concerns and make referrals to appropriate agencies where required. Understanding of, and commitment to, equality, diversity and inclusion. Why us?

You may have sensed that we’re not just any social housing provider. We look to do things differently to achieve our commitment to building a healthy, vibrant, and inclusive organisation that treats people with respect and creates opportunities for all.

We have strong community roots and an ambitious five-year strategy which we are refreshing right now. In the last year we have undergone significant change in our operating environment, regulatory framework and with the needs and expectations of customers and colleagues.
