Birmingham City Council - Temporary ongoing role - Social Housing - Full Time

Your new company

Birmingham City Council is committed to delivering high-quality housing management services across the city. You will join a proactive team focused on managing garage sites effectively, ensuring they are safe, well-maintained, and efficiently let to maximise income and occupancy.

Your new role

As a Garage Voids & Lettings Assistant Officer, you will take responsibility for managing garage sites across Birmingham. Your duties will include carrying out regular site inspections, identifying and reporting repairs, and supporting capital investment and demolition programmes. You will advertise garages, screen applications, arrange viewings, and manage waiting lists.
This is a hands-on role that involves completing minor repairs, clearing and safely disposing of items left in vacant garages, and helping to deter anti-social behaviour by engaging professionally with residents, licence holders, and stakeholders. You will maintain accurate records, follow set procedures, and make sound decisions in line with policies and statutory guidance.

What you'll need to succeed

To succeed, you must be practical, organised, and customer-focused, with strong communication skills and the ability to work under pressure. IT literacy and confidence in using multiple systems are essential, as is the ability to write clearly and maintain accurate records. You will need a good level of fitness to lift heavy materials and conduct clear-outs.
A full UK driving licence and access to your own vehicle are required, and you must be willing to add business insurance to your policy before your start date. An enhanced DBS check will also be required (arranged with your cooperation).

What you'll get in return

You will receive a competitive hourly rate (£14.12 p/h inclusive of holiday allowance) with an uplift after 12 weeks (£16.77 per hour inclusive of holiday allowance), plus mileage and parking expenses. This role offers variety, responsibility, and the opportunity to make a real impact in managing Birmingham’s garage portfolio. You will also receive relevant training to support your development.
