JOB DESCRIPTION
The Housing & Neighbourhoods team at The Guinness Partnership is vital to safeguarding our communities and delivering our social purpose: providing safe, high-quality homes and essential housing services to our residents.
We have a new opportunity for a Housing & Neighbourhood Officer to join us on a full time six-month fixed term contract to cover maternity leave. The role is field-based, and you will be required to travel regularly around your designated area of Crewe.
As a visible presence within our neighbourhoods, you will be the face of Guinness, providing an accessible, face-to-face service to both homeowners and rental residents. Working in a mobile way, you will spend much of your time out in your patch, meeting residents, building relationships, and resolving issues. You will collaborate closely with Estate Services and other Guinness teams to deliver quick, efficient solutions that create positive outcomes for our residents and for Guinness.
What we are looking for
We believe that how we work is just as important as what we achieve. You will bring strong face-to-face customer service experience and housing knowledge to help us deliver our organisational aims.
Regular travel within your patch is essential, therefore you must hold a full UK driving licence and have access to your own car.
You will also be able to demonstrate:
Excellent customer service skills, with strong communication and relationship-building abilities.
The capability to plan and manage your workload effectively without high levels of supervision.
Confidence using mobile technology to work ‘on the go'.
Strong resource and time-management skills, with the ability to prioritise and deliver value for money.
Experience working in an environment of legislative and organisational change.
Proven problem-solving and decision-making skills.
Resilience when handling challenging situations and delivering sustainable outcomes.
Experience in analysing data and drawing informed conclusions.
Desirable:
Experience of working in the housing or property sector
