Empowering customers to live rewarding and happy lives. That’s when it hits home.

We have a fabulous job opportunity for you to join our awesome team! We support our brilliant customers who have some quite complex backgrounds and support needs. They may have a history of substance or alcohol dependence, offending, homelessness, and some have ongoing mental health support needs. We help them with managing and maintaining their tenancies, with the aim of moving on to secure, long-term accommodation. Our customers live in various Home Group properties across Chard, Street and Yeovil some of these are self-contained flats, and some share facilities.

You’ll help our customers by focussing on tenancy support and will travel within the local area to meet with them and visit their properties. You’ll help our customers to manage their tenancy and rent accounts, assisting them with housing benefit claims and making sure that these are received on their rent accounts. Where there is a need you will also issue and sign warning letters and Notices which may lead to attending court.

You’ll also turn around vacant bed spaces so that new customers who need our help can move in quickly, making sure our service achieves maximum occupancy and is health and safety compliant.

About you

You’re passionate and motivated to help vulnerable people make positive and lasting changes to their lives. You’ll impress us with your ability to work on your own initiative, positively influencing people from all different backgrounds.

As Housing Management Coordinator you’re experienced in managing a housing management caseload and overseeing landlord and housing management duties. You know all about re-letting rooms or units, collecting rents, and taking formal tenancy action when needed. You’re great at managing your own time and have strong written and verbal communication skills.

To make sure our customers are well supported, it’s important that you have worked in a housing environment before. Don’t worry, we won’t drop you in at the deep end, we’ll help you to understand how things work at Home Group.

As this is a community-based role, you need to be able to drive, as well as having access to a vehicle, insured for business purposes. Don’t worry, we’ll pay you expenses to cover this use.

When you join, you’ll need to have a valid Enhanced Check under the Disclosure and Barring Service. The great news is that we will pay for that to be done if you don’t have a transferrable one.
