Rent-flex

The Customer Relationship (rent-flex) officer will play a critical role in the delivery of a pilot involving three housing associations testing the rent-flex platform. This platform enables residents to propose monthly payment plans so that they can underpay and overpay according to demands on their income.

The first part of this pilot involving residents of Optivo has already started and over 450 residents have signed up to the rent-flex platform. Your role would be to work with the dedicated contact at Optivo, liaising with him around issues relating to the platform, discussing practical learning from the current pilot and responding to requests for support.

We have now secured funding to expand this pilot to involve another two housing associations: MTVH and Inquilab. We will be onboarding these two HAs in October and November. Your role will be to work with consortium members to develop and codify the onboarding process, taking a lead in liaising with dedicated personnel within each housing association. As each HA is onboarded onto the platform, you will then lead on a day-to-day basis with them, supporting the promotion and onboarding of residents onto the rent-flex platform.

We are in the process of developing a reporting dashboard and you will take a lead in monitoring this, identifying where there are issues with any of the three pilot organisations. You will also be a point of contact for the independent evaluators, IFF Research, as they conduct their ongoing evaluation of the pilots.

We are also looking to secure further funding to onboard additional housing associations onto the pilot, so that we can test the platform across multiple audiences. If and when this happens, you will be responsible for onboarding and managing these relationships.

The rent-flex consortium is aiming to launch the product to market in April 2023. You will play a critical role in this, liaising with the Business Development Director and Head of Marketing to support them as they build and launch the product to market. 

Insight and other licensing products

The Customer Relationship (rent-flex) officer will also play a critical role in supporting the CRM Lead as they retain and grow the Insight and other licensing product book.

Value Insight is a tool that enables users to plan, measure and report against their social value outcomes, using the Wellbeing Valuation methodology.

HACT also sells licenses to its UK Social Value Bank and has plans to develop further licensing and subscription products in the future.

This role requires energy, intelligence, and enthusiasm. In addition to the core person specification and skills, we are looking for a driven candidate to grab this opportunity with both hands and meet the challenges faced in our sector with an ambitious attitude and an adaptable approach.

The Big Issue mission is to dismantle poverty by creating opportunity through self-help, social trading and business solutions – a “hand up, not a hand out”. We provide an “access to all” means for people to earn a legitimate source of income, to raise their self-esteem and to take control of their lives. One of the ways we do this is through supporting vendors to sell The Big Issue magazine. Last year alone, we put £5.5m in the pockets of our vendors, releasing them from a dependency on hand outs.

The Big Issue Foundation supports vendors (and increasingly others) with “wrap around support”- health, housing, debt, addiction, mental health, financial inclusion, and employability.
