You are required to have a valid UK driving licence for this role. You will be provided with a company car.

On behalf of the Home Office, Serco manages the Asylum Accommodation and Support Services Contract (AASC) for the North West of England. We focus on assisting individuals through the asylum system, ensuring that vulnerable asylum seekers have access to the support they need along with a high standard of accommodation.

You will be covering multiple areas in the North West region Inc Chester & Ellesmere Port, you may be required to cover other areas inc Crewe, Wirral, Windsford, Northwich & Middleswich. Ensuring that all properties within the allocated portfolio are safe, habitable, fit for purpose and fully equipped in accordance with AASC Standards. There is a requirement to operate an Emergency On-Call system outside of normal working hours amongst all Housing Officers on a rota basis.

This role is suited to someone with a solid work history dealing with people face to face and enjoys a demanding workload where you get to utilise your organisations skills whilst remaining calm under pressure and supporting our service users. You will be expected to travel between properties in the Black Country and Birmingham areas so you must hold a valid UK drivers’ licence and be enthusiastic about taking on a range of accountabilities such as:

What you’ll need to do the role

Due to the nature of the role, Criminal Record Bureau checks are required (all offers of employment are subject to security clearance checks and approval by the Home Office).

Whilst experience in a previous property related role is beneficial, this isn’t a requirement, more importantly is your desire and enthusiasm to make a difference. You will be expected to take on a variety of tasks to support our service users and some may be challenging – dealing with anti-social behaviours, medical needs, management of child safeguarding needs etc.

You will have strong communication skills and be confident managing conflict.
