  • Proficient in using complex IT and housing systems, with ability to use MS Office applications and remote working technology.
  • Strong written communication skills, with the ability to write clearly and accurately in various styles-including letters, newsletters, and witness statements-and proven experience in report writing.
  • Proven ability to solve problems independently and creatively, with strong customer focus and confidence in managing challenging situations, while positively adapting to change and demonstrating empathy toward others.
Whilst normal office working hours are Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm, occasional out of hours working may be required to meet the needs of our customers.
