For a career that means more and makes a meaningful impact on society, this is the place to be.

About the role

Ready to make a real impact and help people find their perfect home?

We’re on the lookout for a passionate person to join our vibrant Allocations and Lettings team in Bradford as a Lettings Coordinator!

Empathy and discretion are key as you’ll discuss individual circumstances, assess eligibility, and connect customers with the support they need.

This is a fast-paced, rewarding role where no two days are the same. You’ll need resilience for those conversations that don’t lead to sign-ups, and exceptional organisation skills to keep things moving because every empty property is an opportunity to change someone’s life.
