BRIDGEND COUNTY BOROUGH COUNCIL

Rehousing Officer - Chief Executive - Housing Solutions

Job Description

37 hours per week

Exciting opportunities have arisen for dedicated individuals to help clients at risk of homelessness or living in unsuitable accommodation. We are seeking front line Rehousing Officers to join a team that makes a difference and transforms lives.

The role of the Rehousing Officer is to manage housing allocations and housing waiting lists. The successful candidate should have experience of working within a housing related environment and will have experience in Nominations to Registered Social Landlords (RSL’S) (Housing Associations). The quality of the decisions will impact on the effective take-up of the Council’s nomination rights, the appropriate re-housing of applicants and the efficient use of the social housing stock in the County Borough. The successful candidate will also be confident in liaising and negotiating with Private Sector Landlords to help secure alternative forms of tenure when discharging the Council’s homeless duty.

Working as part of a busy team you will need to work well under pressure and on your own initiative as you will build and manage your own caseload to Bridgend’s service standards. To succeed in this role, you will be a good problem solver who is able to work assertively but sensitively and also be a good team player.

The successful candidate will be able to plan and prioritise work effectively to contribute towards the delivery of a high-quality housing service. You must be able to work collaboratively as you will be working with partner agencies in preventing homelessness and reducing the reliance on temporary accommodation. You must be adaptable and be able to react effectively to changing circumstances. Protecting children, young people or adults at risk is a core responsibility of all council employees.

We really want to hear from you and would like to offer you the opportunity to discuss the role further with our Team Manager Joanne Ginn by calling 01656 643104. This will give you the opportunity to discuss the role in more detail, ask any questions and gain valuable advice regarding the content of your application.
