Do you thrive on making a real difference to people’s lives every day? Can you bring empathy, organisation, and a passion for community into a role that truly matters?

We’re looking for an Extra Care Scheme Officer to join our team, supporting residents to live independently while feeling safe, connected, and supported within their community. This is a hands-on, people-focused role where no two days are the same — from tenancy management to wellbeing support, you’ll play a key part in creating a positive living environment.

This isn’t your typical housing role. It’s about more than managing tenancies — it’s about building relationships, supporting independence, and helping residents lead fulfilling lives within a vibrant scheme.

What’s in it for you….

In addition to the salary, we offer a number of benefits, including:

• High street discount schemes
• Health cash plans
• 26 days’ annual leave, increasing to 29 after three years, with the opportunity to buy more
• Flexible bank holidays – take them when it suits you
• Car leasing scheme
• Hybrid working – offering you the flexibility to thrive in your role. You'll have the opportunity to blend the best of both worlds, spending approximately two to three days per week in the office once settled in the role. This is flexible and depends on meeting cycles and board activity. We also offer an optional nine-day fortnight scheme, allowing you to compress your hours if it suits the role.

What you’ll be doing……

• Deliver day-to-day housing and scheme management to support residents’ independence
• Monitor rent accounts and support residents to manage payments and avoid arrears
• Work closely with Adult Social Care, support providers, and external partners
• Respond to emergency calls and carry out welfare checks when needed
• Support tenancy processes including sign-ups, viewings, and compliance
• Maintain communal areas and oversee contractors to ensure a safe, clean environment
• Build strong relationships with residents, providing advice and resolving issues
• Encourage and support community engagement and social activities within the scheme

What we’re looking for:

You’ll be someone who genuinely enjoys working with people and takes pride in delivering a great service. You might already have experience in housing, care, or a customer-focused role — or be looking to bring transferable skills into a meaningful environment.

We’re particularly interested in someone who:

• Has a good understanding of housing management or experience in a similar setting
• Is confident communicating with a wide range of people, including vulnerable residents
• Can balance empathy with professionalism when handling sensitive situations
• Is organised, able to prioritise tasks, and comfortable working independently
• Has experience (or an interest) in supporting residents with tenancy, wellbeing, or financial matters
• Is comfortable using IT systems and keeping accurate records
• Is flexible and willing to be part of a 24/7 rota, including sleep-ins or waking nights if required
• Speaks Asian language (desirable)

If you have relevant qualifications (such as A-levels or equivalent) and experience in housing or a related sector, that’s great — but just as important is your attitude and commitment to making a difference.

If specific qualifications are required, please upload them with your application to demonstrate your eligibility.

Safer Recruitment

Depaul UK is committed to fair and inclusive recruitment, and we welcome applications from people of all backgrounds. If a role requires it under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975, we will carry out the appropriate Disclosure & Barring Service (DBS) check.

About Depaul UK

In the 1980s, high unemployment and steep inflation was contributing to a shocking rise in youth homelessness across London. Thousands of young people were sleeping rough every night, with many areas notoriously dubbed “cardboard cities” due to the visible rise in street homelessness. Appalled by the scenes playing out across the capital, a group of people came together to tackle the challenge head on. Led by Cardinal Basil Hume and Mark McGreevy OBE, in 1989 Depaul UK was born.

What began as a single housing project in North London soon expanded across London, Greater Manchester and the North East of England. Today, Depaul UK provides accommodation, prevention and support services to thousands of marginalised young people across the UK each year.

As our name suggests, the work of Depaul UK has been inspired by St. Vincent de Paul – a man who devoted his life to helping vast numbers of people throughout the 17th century. St. Vincent de Paul’s belief in the intrinsic worth of all people and his commitment to taking bold action remain central to our values today. Depaul UK now forms part of a family of Depaul charities around the world. We each focus on the specific challenges in our own countries, but we’re united by our shared values and mission to end homelessness.
