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
-

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.

-
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.
How to apply
Send us your CV and a short statement about why this role speaks to you. We’re reviewing applications as they come in, so don’t wait.

ABOUT UPREACH
Do you think that your socio-economic background should determine your career prospects?
upReach’s vision is of a society in which everybody has an equal opportunity to realise their full career potential. Our work is important because, currently, a student from a disadvantaged background who gains a first-class degree from a top university is less likely to secure an elite job than a more privileged student with a 2.2.
We are an award-winning charity employer working to address this issue in partnership with employers and universities. We help undergraduates from lower socioeconomic backgrounds achieve their career potential by providing an intensive programme of support that addresses socio-economic barriers to graduate employment.
To find out more about how we support our students, visit our website and read our Annual Report and Impact Report.
ROLE OVERVIEW
We’re looking for a thoughtful, motivated Junior Product Manager to join the Product Team at upReach.
In this role, you’ll help improve the digital tools we use to support thousands of students from underrepresented backgrounds to access top careers. Working closely with developers, colleagues from the Product Team, and our users themselves, you’ll support the development of products that make a real difference - every day.
You don’t need to have worked in product management before. If you’re excited about using technology to make things better, and you enjoy solving problems and collaborating with others, we’d love to hear from you.

Writing clear, simple documentation like feature descriptions and user stories
-
Testing new features and checking that they meet the goals we’ve set
-

-
Helping to design better user experiences with visual mockups or process flows
-
Keeping things organised, including maintaining a product backlog and roadmap
-
Communicating clearly with internal teams and external partners
SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE

We’re particularly interested in:
-
Curiosity and a desire to learn new things
-
Thoughtful problem-solving and attention to detail
-
Good communication skills across different audiences
-
The ability to organise work and manage multiple tasks

-
Using data to inform decisions
-
Writing or testing features in a tech environment
-
Understanding users’ needs and turning them into ideas
-
Working with developers or digital tools
-
Awareness of agile ways of working or UX principles
-
Experience in drafting user stories and development briefs.

This includes having ownership of your responsibility area, and demonstrating an ability to informally lead and have positive influence on the wider team. We will be looking for you to demonstrate that you can plan ahead, proactively anticipate upcoming projects or challenges, and problem solve more independently.
upReach have created a Behaviours and Competency Framework to ensure the team have full visibility on the key capabilities required for effective performance, how these connect to our organisational values, and the level required for each band within the organisation.
Within the Product Team, we’ll support you to apply these behaviours and competencies to product management helping you to learn and develop your skills across four key areas:
-
Product Execution – delivering features and solving problems
-
User Insight – understanding and representing our users
-
Product Strategy – thinking ahead and setting priorities
-
Influencing People – working effectively with others
You’ll be encouraged to take ownership of your work, build your confidence, and grow into greater responsibility over time. You’ll also have opportunities to learn from experienced colleagues and contribute to meaningful projects.

About the role
This is a new role created at IRMO to strengthen how we measure, understand and communicate our impact. It sits at the heart of a learning-focused, community-led organisation working for migrant rights and social justice. We are open to hiring at either Officer or Lead level, depending on the experience and skills of the successful candidate.

This is a great opportunity for someone with a strong analytical mindset and a values-driven approach, who is passionate about making data meaningful and useful in service of social justice.
