We're looking for someone who is confident managing their own caseload, enjoys working with people and isn't afraid to get stuck into challenging situations.

You'll need previous housing experience, a good understanding of tenancy management and the ability to work confidently with tenants, colleagues, elected members, partner agencies and other stakeholders.

Excellent communication skills, good organisation and the ability to come up with practical solutions are key.

A full driving licence is required, as the role involves visiting locations across the patch.
