If you are naturally strategic but with experience and passion for great operational delivery, and you want to make a difference to people’s lives through the work you and your team do, this role is for you.

 

You will be someone who has:

  • A wealth of rehousing and tenancy management experience at a managerial / senior level
  • Good working knowledge of housing, tenancy, property legislation, good practice and regulation

At Peabody, where possible, we provide flexible working opportunities from day one to our employees, as we recognise the importance of a good work-life balance; and to improve our productivity and performance, we embrace agile working, which means if you are in a desk based role, that will be a hybrid of office and home working. If your role is in a client facing environment, appropriate base location will apply.

 

Our mission is to help people make the most of their lives and an important part of this is to ensure that our organisation reflects the wider communities we serve. We want to attract recruit and retain a diverse, inclusive and creative workforce to give us the best opportunity to meet the diverse needs of our residents and customers. We actively encourage applications from all groups and communities, as well as from BAME, LGBTQ+ and disabled people.
