This isn’t just a job in housing. It’s a chance to be part of something that matters.
At Zetetick Housing, we provide supported living for adults with learning disabilities, autism and other needs. We work with care providers to make sure our tenants feel safe, respected, and at home.
We’re looking for a Housing Officer who doesn’t just tick boxes, but genuinely cares. Someone who notices the small things. Someone who wants to be part of a team that quietly gets on with doing things properly.
You’ll be helping people move into homes where they can finally settle. You’ll sort out repairs that actually get done. And you’ll build relationships with care providers, social workers and landlords so everyone’s pulling in the same direction.
What you’ll be doing
-
Visiting properties and talking with tenants
-
Helping people settle into their new home
-
Sorting out safety checks and making sure they’re followed up
-
Noticing what’s missing and putting it right
-
Keeping records tidy and up to date
-
Supporting the wider team so nothing gets missed
This is hands-on work with real variety. Based in our Uckfield and Croydon offices. Some days you’ll be out on site, others catching up on systems or sorting logistics. You’ll see the direct impact of what you do.

-
Have housing or care experience and understand how the two connect
-
Know your way around benefits and tenancy paperwork
-
Can stay calm under pressure and get things done without fuss
-
Are practical, observant and good with people
-
Have a driving licence and are happy to travel between sites

We’re a small charity with strong values. We believe that the way we do things matters just as much as what we do. Our team looks out for each other and we always try to do right by our tenants.
This role isn’t about targets or ticking off lists. It’s about helping people live well, in homes that feel like their own. You’ll have a clear purpose, a supportive manager, and space to grow.

We run the Churchill Fellowships, a unique programme that supports UK citizens to find new solutions worldwide for today’s most pressing challenges.
Every year we fund over 100 new Fellows to discover the latest ideas and best practice in any practical issue they care passionately about, anywhere in the world. The topics they explore cover every aspect of society and are often informed by their own lived experience. They meet leading practitioners, encounter cutting-edge projects and gather their findings in a published report. We help share their findings to inspire change in communities, sectors, and fields across the UK.
Fellows tell us that their Fellowship is life-changing, for themselves and for those who benefit from their global learning. These are dedicated and practical individuals with a strong vision of the change they want to see, the knowledge to progress it and the drive to make it happen. As a result, their impact is felt throughout the UK and many go on to be leaders in their fields.
Our unique approach has created a community of thousands of highly effective changemakers working on the frontlines of today’s key issues. At the heart of all this is a simple but enduring concept: we are empowering individuals to learn from the world and transform lives across the UK.
