Help shape homes that change lives

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.

You’ll fit right in if you…

• 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

If you’ve worked in supported housing or with people with learning disabilities, great. If not, we’ll help you learn. What matters is your attitude and your care for people.

Why join Zetetick

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.

• Increased risk of HIV in women 
• Infertility
