Although primarily based at Spa Court in Hockley, you will also be required to provide cover at a couple of schemes in Wakering for two days bi-weekly. You will be part of a team, primarily working independently, with a focus on making a real difference to the lives of our residents. You will be responsible for providing support to maintain residents’ wellbeing and independence together with delivering a quality housing management service.

- Managing relationships with key stakeholders, service providers including contractors, residents and external agencies

- Attending meetings with the residents and offering high quality customer service by resolving queries and complaints
Skills and experiences:
- Experience of working within a sheltered scheme in a support capacity is essential
- Knowledge of welfare benefits and rent accounts
- NVQ 3 in relevant area (or equivalent) (e.g. Housing / Health and Social Care) would be desirable
- Excellent customer service skills with the ability to communicate at all levels
- Ability to work on own initiative and with fast changing requirements
- Experience of using Microsoft Office (Word, Excel and Outlook), or similar
- Occasional travel may be requirement of the role, therefore a full valid driving licence is essential
