Housing Options Officer

Housing Advice and Homelessness has never been more challenging or exciting.  The recent declaration of a Housing Crisis in both South Hams and West Devon has resulted in a renewed focus and drive to find creative and innovative solutions to housing needs across our area. 

 

Due to internal promotion, we are now looking to recruit an additional Housing Options Officer on a 2 year fixed term contract to join our established team.  We are looking for someone who works well as part of a team, is experienced at building excellent working relationships with multiple agencies and disciplines, and is committed to ensuring the best possible outcomes for our customers.

 

You will have a strong focus on customer service alongside the ability to think outside of the box and work effectively as part of a team.  You will be able to communicate complex legal decisions in writing and verbally and have experience in delivering difficult messages effectively, whilst maintaining a good working relationship with clients and providing a supportive approach to the work. 

 

We can offer genuine flexible working, with a significant proportion of the role to be homeworking.

 

For an informal discussion please contact Natasha Underwood, Housing Options Team Leader at Natasha.Underwood@swdevon.gov.uk  or 01822 813408.

 

Closing date: Sunday 15 June 2025

 

Interviews are expected to be held week beginning Monday 23 June 2025
