Rent-flex

The Customer Relationship (rent-flex) officer will play a critical role in the delivery of a pilot involving three housing associations testing the rent-flex platform. This platform enables residents to propose monthly payment plans so that they can underpay and overpay according to demands on their income.

The first part of this pilot involving residents of Optivo has already started and over 450 residents have signed up to the rent-flex platform. Your role would be to work with the dedicated contact at Optivo, liaising with him around issues relating to the platform, discussing practical learning from the current pilot and responding to requests for support.

We have now secured funding to expand this pilot to involve another two housing associations: MTVH and Inquilab. We will be onboarding these two HAs in October and November. Your role will be to work with consortium members to develop and codify the onboarding process, taking a lead in liaising with dedicated personnel within each housing association.

You will also be a point of contact for the independent evaluators, IFF Research, as they conduct their ongoing evaluation of the pilots.

Value Insight is a tool that enables users to plan, measure and report against their social value outcomes, using the Wellbeing Valuation methodology.

HACT also sells licenses to its UK Social Value Bank and has plans to develop further licensing and subscription products in the future.

This role requires energy, intelligence, and enthusiasm. In addition to the core person specification and skills, we are looking for a driven candidate to grab this opportunity with both hands and meet the challenges faced in our sector with an ambitious attitude and an adaptable approach.

About HACT
