Project Officer

Are you an experienced housing professional with strong research, project and report-writing skills?

A local authority in Warwickshire is looking for a Project Officer to support several important housing service reviews. This is more than an administrative role and will require someone who can work independently, develop ideas, assess options and contribute to recommendations.

Working under the direction of the Housing Services Manager, you will support reviews of Independent Living Services, Lifeline and Out of Hours provision, rents and service charges, tenancy terms and the redesignation of housing stock. You will also assist with establishing a service level agreement with another local authority for the delivery of property management services.

Key responsibilities will include preparing project briefs, plans, risk registers, option appraisals and specifications. You will research service delivery options, contribute to costings and feasibility assessments, support tenant consultation events and prepare reports and data for senior officers, elected members and contractors.
You will also help update policies and procedures, introduce new ways of working and provide information or training to internal teams.
Applicants should have experience within social housing, ideally in a local authority environment. Knowledge of independent living services would be particularly desirable.
