It’s a busy, fast-paced role that requires strong organisational skills, a proactive mindset, and a genuine curiosity to get to the heart of issues.

You’ll need to:

• Translate legal jargon into clear, customer-friendly language
• Think creatively to solve problems and improve service
• Prioritise effectively and manage competing demands
• Build strong relationships across teams and with customers

This is a brilliant opportunity to make a real impact. You’ll work with a wide range of people, tackle interesting challenges, and see the direct results of your work through customer feedback. It’s a role that keeps you on your toes and one where no two days are the same.

Salary

The spot salary for the Housing Officer (Homeownership) post is £39,178 per annum including car allowance for applicants who fully meet the requirements of the post. Applicants, who do not meet all the requirements of the post, will start 5% or 10% below the spot salary.

About you

• Experience in leasehold management within a housing association or managing agent.
• Strong understanding of leases, transfers, and relevant regulations, with a commitment to continuous professional development.
• Ability to work independently as part of a small team and collaboratively across the wider organisation.
• Strong organisational skills, with the ability to manage a high volume of queries and maintain a professional, customer-focused approach.
• Excellent communication skills, capable of engaging with multiple stakeholders at various levels.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office (Word, Outlook, Excel).
