Bridge Recovery Housing provides individual homes, support and a high-quality housing management service for people with multiple and complex needs. Our approach is rooted in the principles of Housing First which offers safe, stable housing without preconditions, and wrapping intensive, person-centred support around each individual.
We are now seeking to appoint a Housing First, Housing Officer. This role is offered on a full-time permanent basis and is a front-facing, community-based role that requires in person engagement with service users, property visits and collaboration with partner agencies.

The Housing Officer will be expected to work primarily in the field and at designated service locations to ensure responsive and effective housing management.
A key element of this role will be for the Housing Officer to be responsible for delivering and assisting in the development of all aspects of a responsive housing management service. You will work collaboratively with Bridge colleagues and a range of external partners to help service users understand and meet the terms of their tenancies/licence agreements, with the goal of helping them sustain their accommodation. Each service user has an Integrated Care Plan and receives intensive support from a dedicated Navigator within the Housing First Navigator Service.
It is essential that you have experience of providing a housing management service along with experience of service users who have vulnerabilities/challenging behaviour. You will have knowledge of a wide range of housing management issues such as tenancy conditions, tenants' rights and responsibilities and neighbour nuisance, along with excellent communication and negotiating skills. We are looking for someone who can work calmly and effectively with individuals who may present in crisis with strong professional boundaries.
A full driving licence, access to a vehicle and business insurance is a requirement of the role.
