You may be aware that in November 2023, Nottingham City Council’s Chief Finance Officer issued a report under Section 114(3) of the Local Government Finance Act 1988 because, in his professional opinion, the council wasn’t able to deliver a balanced budget which is a legal requirement. This does not mean, however, that the council is bankrupt or insolvent. 

The financial implications of the Section 114 report have been balanced against the council’s statutory duties, particularly in relation to safeguarding and homelessness, and the funding of this permanent post has been approved by the council’s Spend Control Board.

At Nottingham City Council, we are dedicated to providing housing solutions and support to our citizens. Housing Solutions plays a pivotal role in preventing homelessness and ensuring that all citizens in housing need or crisis receive the assistance they require.

Be a part of our mission to make a positive impact on the city by preventing homelessness and providing vital support to citizens in their housing needs. Your unwavering commitment and expertise can significantly contribute to the success of this important mission. 

Key priorities for the post holder will include;

Good operational working knowledge of housing legislation in both the public and private sector  Good operational working knowledge of Homelessness and associated legislation and an ability to advise on and decide any duties owed to citizens for the Authority  Effectively manage a complex workload under pressure meeting specified targets and deadlines whilst demonstrating attention to detail, prioritisation and self-organisation skills  Commitment to providing a high quality customer focussed service Evidence of working successfully in partnership across different sectors, building and maintaining good working relationships  Understanding of the wider issues impacting upon homelessness, the barriers facing people with multiple and complex needs 

When applying, candidates should provide a written statement along with their CV outlining their key skills and experiences in the priorities outlined above.
