Job description

At Hestia, we are guided by our core values and are dedicated to fostering an equitable, diverse, and inclusive organisation. Our mission is to empower individuals to rebuild their lives and achieve independence. Right now, we are looking for a Housing Management Officer to play a pivotal role in our Housing Services in London.

Sounds great, what will I be doing?

The role is responsible for delivering full housing management services across a portfolio of 50–100 supported accommodation units, with a focus on tenancy sustainment, legal compliance, and strong financial performance. This includes facilitating onboarding and exit processes for service users, promoting tenancy expectations early on, and embedding a Psychologically Informed Environment (PIPE) approach. Accurate and GDPR-compliant tenancy records must be maintained, with regular monitoring and reporting on tenancy issues through internal dashboards and quarterly reviews.

The position also involves driving rent and service charge collection, preventing arrears through proactive engagement, and taking recovery action where needed. The postholder will provide specialist advice on housing benefits, manage claims and appeals, and oversee invoicing and reconciliation with external agencies. Additionally, they will ensure timely repair reporting and resolution, maintain communication with residents and staff on maintenance progress, and uphold property standards to meet compliance requirements.

What do I need to bring with me?

You'll need to be able to demonstrate the core skills this role requires as well as match our values and mission. You don't have to tick all the boxes right away; the important thing is that you're willing to learn. We also value lived experience of the areas we support, so if you feel comfortable, please do mention this on your application.

Here's what the team will be looking for

The role requires strong experience in rent collection, arrears recovery, and applying the pre-action protocol, alongside the ability to manage welfare benefit claims and navigate complex DWP and Housing Benefit systems. It involves working directly with vulnerable individuals, including those experiencing mental health issues, substance dependency, domestic abuse, and young people with additional support needs. The post demands in-depth knowledge of tenancy and housing management functions, a good understanding of benefits systems, and awareness of the legal framework surrounding arrears enforcement. Experience in partnership working with local authorities, support workers, and external agencies is essential.

Candidates must be proficient in Microsoft Office and housing management systems, with the ability to maintain accurate electronic records, analyse and present financial data, and produce high-quality written communications. Strong interpersonal and communication skills are vital, as is the ability to work sensitively with service users while building effective relationships with stakeholders. The role requires self-motivation, excellent time management, the ability to work independently, a strong sense of accountability, and the flexibility to travel between accommodation sites to meet service users in person.

Interview Steps

We keep our interview process simple, so you know exactly what to expect.

  • Shortlisting call: We have a team of dedicated recruitment specialists who will speak to you about your experience, motivations and values. They will also tell you about all the great work we do!
  • Face to face interview: Now you will have face to face interview with the hiring manager. Our interviews are value and competency based.

Don't be alarmed if there are other stages in the process, it's all part of the plan for some of our roles.

Our commitment to Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion

Our services users come from all walks of life and so do we. We hire great people from a wide variety of backgrounds because it makes us stronger. We are committed to creating and maintaining a diverse and inclusive workforce and value the skills, abilities, talent and experiences, different people and communities bring to our organisation.

We are a disability confident employer

We offer a guaranteed interview scheme for all applicants with disabilities who meet the minimum criteria for the role they have applied for. We also provide reasonable adjustments during the selection and interview process, and throughout your employment with us.
