Working for Nottingham City Council has great benefits. As well as competitive pay, great leave entitlement, and access to a generous pension scheme, we strive to create an innovative, inclusive, and progressive work culture where everyone is supported to do and be their very best.
In return, we are looking for people like you – people who are innovative, driven and committed to serving and improving Nottingham. So, if you are passionate about making a difference to the lives of those who live and work in our city, we want to hear from you.
Responsibilities
You will play a key role in ensuring Nottingham City Council meets its statutory, regulatory and landlord obligations by securing lawful access to properties where tenants have refused entry. Your work will protect the safety and wellbeing of tenants, neighbours, and the wider community by facilitating essential inspections and maintenance.
This role can lean in two distinct directions:
Supporting tenants wellbeing and addressing vulnerabilities through empathy, communication, and safeguarding practices, or
Taking direct legal action to ensure compliance with tenancy obligations, pursuing injunctions or enforcement where necessary.
Whichever path you bring expertise in - people-focused support or legal enforcement - your contribution will be vital in keeping homes safe and compliant.
About You
The ideal candidate will have:
* Proven experience in either tenancy enforcement, compliance, or housing management, or in safeguarding and wellbeing support, including work with vulnerable individuals.
* Knowledge of regulations and the statutory frameworks that underpin safeguarding, environmental protection, or property access.
* Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to engage and build trust with tenants while resolving conflicts and maintaining professionalism.
* Analytical and problem-solving skills, including the ability to assess risks, apply equality impact assessments, record and maintain accurate records and take proportionate action.
* Resilience and sound judgement to act decisively in high-pressure or sensitive situations, balancing empathy with enforcement when required.
* Relevant qualification in housing management, legal studies, psychology, or wellbeing practice, or substantial related experience with a commitment to professional development.
