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 Ealing and Harrow, London. 

Sounds great, what will I be doing?

The Housing Management Officer plays a pivotal role in delivering high‑quality, end‑to‑end tenancy and property management across a diverse portfolio of 50–100 supported accommodation units. Working at the intersection of housing law, welfare systems, and resident wellbeing, the postholder ensures smooth tenancy sustainment, legal compliance, and strong financial performance. This includes leading on onboarding and exit processes, embedding a Psychologically Informed Environment (PIPE) approach, maintaining GDPR‑compliant records, and monitoring tenancy issues through internal reporting tools. The role also requires close collaboration with Registered Providers, Local Authorities, the DWP, and Housing Benefit teams to ensure seamless service delivery and regulatory compliance.

A key focus of the role is proactive income management, from rent and service charge collection to arrears prevention and recovery. The officer provides expert guidance on housing benefit, managing claims, appeals, and overpayments while overseeing invoicing and financial reconciliation with external agencies. Alongside this, they coordinate timely repairs and maintenance, ensuring issues are escalated and resolved efficiently while keeping residents and support teams fully informed. This is a dynamic, hands‑on position for someone who thrives on responsibility, partnership working, and making a meaningful impact on tenancy stability and resident experience.

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.

To apply for this role, you'll need solid experience in rent collection and arrears recovery, along with a good working knowledge of the pre‑action protocol. You should be confident handling welfare benefit claims and navigating DWP and Housing Benefit systems. Experience supporting vulnerable people is essential; whether that's individuals dealing with mental health challenges, homelessness, or domestic abuse, we're looking for someone who has worked closely with local authorities, support workers, and other partner agencies, and who understands the day‑to‑day realities of tenancy and housing management.

You'll need strong IT skills, accuracy in maintaining electronic records, and the ability to communicate clearly in writing and in person. Being comfortable analysing financial information is important, as is the ability to build positive relationships with residents and colleagues. This role suits someone who is empathetic, organised, self‑motivated, and able to work independently while taking responsibility for their decisions. You'll also need to be able to travel between accommodation sites and meet residents face‑to‑face as part of your day‑to‑day work. The role is hybrid with travel required 3 days a week across Ealing and Harrow and two days working remotely. Occasional travel to our Head Office in Aldgate will also be required.
