Role summary – Based out of Staines, delivering vital housing support services. This is a dynamic role that requires a hands-on approach, as you will be responsible for engaging with some of the most vulnerable members of the community.

You will play a key role in ensuring access to safe, stable accommodation and managing anti-social behaviour (ASB) within the community-both crucial to maintaining a positive living environment.

Key Responsibilities:

• Conduct regular patch visits across the Westminster area, working face-to-face with tenants and rough sleepers to assess their needs and provide tailored housing solutions.
• Effectively manage and resolve Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) cases, ensuring swift and appropriate action is taken to protect the safety and well-being of all residents. (ASB knowledge is a must!)
• Work closely with local authorities, outreach teams, and other housing providers to facilitate access to appropriate services and support for individuals transitioning into stable housing or dealing with complex needs.
• Carry out needs assessments and risk evaluations, creating personalised support plans to help individuals achieve greater independence and security.
• Work within legal and regulatory frameworks, ensuring that all policies and procedures are adhered to.
• Maintain accurate records and report on key performance indicators, contributing to team performance goals.

Requirements:

• Proven experience in a Housing Officer or similar role within a social housing or support environment.
• In-depth knowledge of Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) legislation and management processes. Your ability to identify and manage ASB effectively is essential.
• Experience working with rough sleepers and vulnerable adults, particularly in complex situations, providing compassionate and consistent support.
• Excellent organisational and communication skills, with the ability to manage a varied caseload and adapt to changing priorities.
• A full UK driving licence and access to your own vehicle is required, as regular travel across your patch in Westminster will be a core part of the role.
• A genuine commitment to making a positive impact in the lives of vulnerable individuals and contributing to the overall improvement of the community.
