Housing Officer - ASB Focus
North London - covering Enfield and surrounding boroughs
£22-£24 per hour PAYE
3-month temporary assignment
Immediate start
 
We are working with a North London housing association that urgently requires an experienced Housing Officer to join its team on an initial three-month temporary basis.
The immediate priority will be to take ownership of an active anti-social behaviour caseload. As the assignment develops, the successful candidate will move into a broader generic Housing Officer remit, supporting residents across a range of tenancy and neighbourhood-management matters.
This is a fast-moving appointment, with short Teams interviews available and an immediate start for the right person.

The role
 
You will be responsible for:
  • Managing a caseload of anti-social behaviour and neighbour-dispute cases
  • Investigating complaints, gathering evidence and maintaining clear case records
  • Conducting resident interviews and home visits
  • Agreeing action plans and progressing appropriate interventions
  • Issuing warnings and taking proportionate tenancy-enforcement action
  • Working with police, local authorities, safeguarding teams and other partner agencies
  • Supporting vulnerable residents and identifying safeguarding concerns
  • Managing tenancy breaches and wider housing-management issues
  • Responding to complaints and maintaining regular communication with residents
  • Working closely with colleagues across income, repairs and housing services
  • Progressively taking responsibility for a broader generic housing patch
About you
You will need:
  • Recent experience working as a Housing Officer, Neighbourhood Officer, Tenancy Officer or ASB Officer
  • Demonstrable experience managing ASB or neighbour nuisance cases
  • The confidence to take ownership of an active caseload with minimal supervision
  • A sound understanding of tenancy management, evidence gathering and enforcement
  • Strong communication, negotiation and case-management skills
  • The ability to work sensitively with vulnerable residents while applying tenancy conditions appropriately
  • Good written skills and accurate case-recording experience
  • The ability to undertake home visits and lone working
  • A full UK driving licence and access to a vehicle for work
  • Immediate or very short-notice availability
Experience within a housing association or local-authority housing service is strongly preferred.
 
Rate and assignment
The role is offered on an initial three-month temporary contract, paying approximately £22-£24 per hour PAYE, depending on experience.
Candidates with strong current ASB case-management experience, immediate availability and the ability to work autonomously may be considered at the top of the range.
 
Apply
Please apply with an up-to-date CV outlining your housing-management and anti-social behaviour experience.
Applications are particularly welcomed from experienced:
  • Housing Officers
  • Neighbourhood Officers
  • Tenancy Officers
  • ASB Officers
  • Estate Officers
  • Generic Housing Officers
Due to the urgency of the requirement, suitable candidates may be interviewed by Teams at short notice.
