About the Role

Strategic Housing at Rochdale Council has been undertaking a customer-focussed transformation programme, which has included the creation of two new service areas: ‘People’ and ‘Property’. Both services work together to deliver housing solutions across the Borough, including through our new customer delivery office in Rochdale town centre. We require experienced housing professionals who are passionate about the real-life difference that quality housing makes in our community and who will want to be integral to that delivery.

We have an exciting vacancy for a Housing Standards Officer to help contribute towards our vision for excellent strategic housing within the Borough. The Officer will work within the Supported Housing Team which focusses on privately-owned supported exempt accommodation, assessing and enforcing housing and support standards.
