The role will provide the opportunity to work on a diverse range of cases both in the office and on site in people's homes. You will need good organisational, report writing and IT skills and attention to detail. You will work as part of a team of 6 Housing Standards Officers, 2 Assistant Housing Standards Officers, a Duty Assistant and a Team Leader, as well as colleagues in the wider Housing service who deliver adaptations, domestic retrofit, hoarding support, and housing options. The team works on a hybrid basis; predominantly working from home but also working in our Crewe office at least one day per week. The Council will provide the appropriate IT equipment to enable this.
