Join to apply for the Senior Housing Solutions Advisor role at YARNS MART
We are seeking an effective Senior Officer with experience in managing complex and detailed casework to join the Housing Solutions team and contribute towards delivering a high-quality housing service. The successful candidate will have experience managing staff, detailed homelessness casework, homelessness legislation, and making enquiries and legal decisions in line with statutory duties of a local authority.
This challenging role requires excellent communication and negotiation skills, as you will deal with individuals in emotional and stressful situations. You need to be self-motivated and proactive in preventing homelessness and identifying housing options to meet local needs. Experience working with partner agencies to support vulnerable clients is essential.
You will work as part of a busy team, managing your own caseload to Bridgend's service standards, and supervising Housing Solutions Advisors and the Housing Solutions Assistant, including managing sickness, absence, supervision, and performance reviews.
To succeed, you should be a good problem solver, work assertively yet sensitively, and be able to present complex information clearly. Adaptability and the ability to react effectively to changing circumstances are crucial. Protecting children, young people, or adults at risk is a core responsibility for all council employees.
If interested, contact our Team Manager Joanne Ginn at 01656 643104 to discuss the role further, ask questions, and receive application advice.
This position follows the council's Hybrid Working Policy, balancing work between home and office.
