About The Role
You may be aware that in November 2023, Nottingham City Council’s Chief Finance Officer issued a report under Section 114(3) of the Local Government Finance Act 1988 because, in his professional opinion, the council wasn’t able to deliver a balanced budget which is a legal requirement. This does not mean, however, that the council is bankrupt or insolvent.
The financial implications of the Section 114 report have been balanced against the council’s statutory duties, particularly in relation to safeguarding and homelessness, and the funding of this permanent post has been approved by the council’s Spend Control Board.
At Nottingham City Council, we are committed to ensuring that our community has access to safe and sustainable housing options. We are seeking dedicated and proactive individuals to fill the role of Social Lettings Officers and contribute to our mission.
In this role, you will focus on improving access to private sector housing options and preventing homelessness through early intervention and support. You will be at the forefront of efforts to improve access to safe and sustainable housing for our community.
If you are passionate about making a positive impact on housing accessibility and homelessness prevention, we invite you to be a part of our team. Come and join us in creating a community where safe and sustainable housing is a reality where safe and sustainable housing is a reality for all.
Key priorities for the post holder will include;
* Good operational working knowledge of housing legislation in both the public and private sector
* Ability to visit and assess property for design, space, and location for suitability
* The ability to visit and inspect properties to identify issues relating to hazards, safety standards and disrepair; making recommendations of remedial action to be taken
* Commitment to providing a high quality customer focussed service
When applying, candidates should provide a written statement along with their CV outlining their key skills and experiences in the priorities outlined above.
* A DBS enhanced check for a regulated activity is required for this post.
