You're passionate about helping people facing homelessness

You're a new or experienced professional looking to build a career

You may have no experience of Housing, but will learn quickly on the job

About us

We're the Housing Options Service at Barnet Homes. We provide housing & homelessness advice to anyone at risk of homelessness.  We aim to prevent homelessness, and we work with our clients to find realistic solutions to end their homelessness.

In April 2018 the Homelessness Reduction Act brought significant changes to all local authorities. In line with these changes we are currently undertaking a review of our Housing Needs service. We are therefore looking for flexible professionals who are willing to take on fluid, front facing roles within the service as we implement changes.

Our offer

Following an internal review of Barnet Homes' Temporary Accommodation services, the Emergency Temporary Accommodation Team has been restructured into two separate teams; Contracts and Compliance and Accommodation Solutions. While Contracts and Compliance provide close monitoring of inspections and repairs carried out by managing agents, Accommodation Solutions support people to move out of Temporary Accommodation into alternative accommodation.

The Administrative Officer will be based in the Contracts and Compliance Team, and will be responsible for providing high quality administrative support for services within the temporary accommodation function, helping to ensure that the team operates effectively and efficiently. The post holder will need to provide a high standard of customer service, and utilise strong communication skills both face to face and over the telephone with customers and external clients.
