N243 Senior Community Connections Officer (Housing Improvement)

Housing, Neighbourhood Regeneration, Community Safety and Community Youth Services have been brought together to create the new and innovative Community Connections Service. Community Connections is a multi-disciplinary team, working across localities, with and in communities, creating and maintaining a relationship with citizens so that they are encouraged and supported to be proactive with ours and other services, thus feeling more engaged and empowered to make sustainable changes.

As part of our service, we are looking to recruit a further 2 enthusiastic individuals who have a real passion for making a difference. As a Senior Community Connections Officer for Housing Improvements you will be responsible for holding a complex caseload which requires more specialist knowledge and experience around Housing Improvement and Housing Legislation. You will be expected to carry out a range of property or site inspections and complete detailed surveys as part of the HMO licensing process.

Initiative and flexibility are fundamental skills as you will be working across the City. A background in surveying or housing would be an advantage, but excellent communication and observation skills are essential.

This role is not suitable for job share.
