About you
Promoting high standards and good practices, you will need a good understanding of the housing sector and the respective role of Landlord and Tenants. You will be able to work successfully alone without constant supervision but also as part of a busy team. Excellent communication, presentation and organisational skills are essential, as well as a strong administrative background. Car driver is essential. We would like to hear from you if you have fresh ideas, enthusiasm, initiative and an innovative approach that you can bring to the prevention of homelessness within Wiltshire. This role is something that the right candidate can really get their teeth into and its success will be down to having the right attitude.
We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults.
