As part of a team, you will build strong relationships with a range of external services, to gather collective knowledge and apply it to maximise successful move ons and tenancy sustainment. Internally, the Move On Team is a close ally of the Homelessness Prevention, Emergency Accommodation and Private Renting Teams. We very much welcome your interest and application for this post.
