Linc-Cymru is a Registered Social Landlord operating across several local authority areas in South Wales, providing good quality social housing to local communities. Linc believes that every person has a right to enjoy life in their own way, providing they do not adversely affect the lives of those living and working around them. We work with partner agencies and empower our residents to build safer, stronger communities, making our neighbourhoods a good place to live.

A team player, you must be able to interact with colleagues, tenants and external agencies and be IT literate including using Microsoft Office packages. You will need to drive for Linc business purposes and have access to a vehicle insured for business use.
Your ability to be empathetic and pragmatic is key. You should be flexible and innovative. This is a relatively new area of work for Linc so you will have an opportunity to help develop the service further.
