An opportunity is now available for an Independent Living Co-ordinator (ILC) to cover our Independent Living Scheme in Ilkley.

The ILC role is a busy one requiring high levels of energy and resilience, and the ability to work as part of a team. Your key priority will be to make sure our residents are safe through managing our buildings well and checking on the welfare of our residents. Your responsibilities will include generating demand through local marketing, building relationships with local organisations, letting properties, arrears management and tenancy enforcement of low level cases. As well as the local team, you will work in partnership with JJH's specialist colleagues, our administrative hub and with Astraline which provides telecare and flexible safety services.
