Your new company
We are currently seeking a dedicated and proactive Housing Service Officer to join our team on a temporary basis for up to six months.

This is a fantastic opportunity to make a real impact in the community while gaining valuable experience in housing services.
What you'll get in return
In return, you’ll benefit from agile working arrangements, a supportive team environment, and the chance to work on meaningful cases that directly improve the lives of tenants. You’ll also gain valuable experience in multi-agency working, safeguarding, and housing operations—skills that will strengthen your career in the housing or social care sector.
