In Housing Options & Wellbeing we provide a range of housing services, including housing applications, advice and options. We are committed to meaningful joint working, the prevention of homelessness and continuous improvement in our services.
The increase in homelessness and rough sleeping is an issue that affects all services in all areas of the country.

You will also oversee the lettings and management of a number of commercial tenancies, a growing area for the councils.
You will be well organised with excellent communication skills and have a strong commitment to providing service excellence. Experience of multi-agency working in a housing or homelessness setting, or experience in letting and property management is preferable, also is an excellent comprehension of the complex needs of homeless clients, as well as the challenges this presents to agencies who work with them.
