About the role
This is a hands-on, community-based role where no two days are the same. You'll work directly with residents, supporting them to manage their tenancies and live well in their homes. Using your knowledge of housing law and services, you'll take early action to resolve issues, support positive outcomes, and uphold landlord responsibilities. From tackling anti-social behaviour to managing tenancy breaches and improving estates, you'll be out and about on your patch - building stronger, safer neighbourhoods one day at a time.
We want you to care about where you work and make a difference for these residents and communities.
What you'll need to be successful:
- Confidence working with people in challenging situations - you'll build long-term relationships with residents, manage sensitive conversations, support vulnerable tenants, and take enforcement action where needed. You'll also represent us in multi-agency meetings, so being calm, credible and professional matters.
- Experience of delivering a technical service and using legislation - you'll be applying landlord and tenancy law and making decisions that impact people's homes and lives. If your experience isn't housing, you'll need transferable evidence of applying technical knowledge in similar roles. In all these scenarios, people skills matter to us just as much.
- Proven experience of casework, partnership working and record keeping - you'll lead complex issues for the benefit of our residents, working with colleagues across other statutory services, health and social care and the Police, so experience in good case management is important.
- Evidence of empowering communities and neighbourhoods - we want to empower our residents to make a difference to their communities so your experience of engagement, improvement projects and involving stakeholders in local decision-making really matters.
- Good judgement and resilience - you'll know when to listen, when to challenge, and when to escalate. This role isn't always easy, and you'll be trusted to manage risk, make fair decisions, and take action in the best interests of residents, the community, and for Cornwall Housing.
- A full UK driving licence and access to a vehicle - this is a patch-based role covering around 500 homes where visibility matters. You'll be out meeting residents, inspecting homes and estates, and taking proactive steps to improve neighbourhoods.
