This will involve using existing abilities, strong negotiating skills, and excellent self-confidence to deal with partners in the private rented housing sector, to proactively source and secure accommodation in that sector for households who are homeless or threatened with homelessness. You will seek and develop positive working relationships with landlords and letting agents, both within the district and wider afield, working to understand the housing market and Landlord/Agent motivations and negotiating with them to secure the use of suitable accommodation for the Council’s PRS Scheme. You will also stablish processes and procedures that are mutually beneficial to the Council and property owners/managers to facilitate such joint working. The role will also involve working directly with homeless applicants, assessing their housing needs, including completing with them affordability and suitability assessments, in order to match them as prospective tenants with suitable accommodation. You will assist applicants to secure such accommodation by negotiating financial packages with the Landlord/Agent, preparing and processing payments to secure that accommodation, and assisting applicants and Landlords/Agents to complete any required paperwork.

You will work in close partnership with the Housing Options and Rehousing Teams, proactively seeking to prevent families having to experience homelessness, assisting homeless families into new homes, and working to reduce the demand on the Council’s emergency homeless accommodation by increasing the availability to the Council of accommodation in the private sector with which to discharge the Council’s homeless duties. You will ensure that all properties accepted under the PRS Scheme meet the Councils required standards by carrying out housing inspections in accordance with the Housing Health and Safety Rating System (HHSRS), reporting on property condition and following up with a Schedule of Work recommending appropriate action to be taken as appropriate. You will deal with the full range of private-sector housing issues including complaint investigation, hazard and nuisance resolution.
