Hackney is London's most diverse and dynamic borough. Stretching from the edge of the City, to the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, it is an area of rapid economic growth, particularly in the tech, media, fashion and other creative industries. Hackney has more green space than any other inner London borough, some of the capital's best schools, and first class transport connections, which combined with excellent local public services and a thriving arts, cultural and retail sector, are fast making it one of London's most popular areas to live, work and visit. Our challenge is to make sure that our borough's economic growth provides benefits for everyone who lives here, and to create opportunities that will transform the lives of local people.

The officers will also be working closely with our lawyers in our Legal Department to ensure that we are responding to threats of Judicial Review robustly and providing similar information and advice to our Corporate Complaints Team to respond to LGSC Ombudsman homelessness enquiries.
Working collaboratively and in a non judgemental way to foster learning and expert level knowledge amongst staff is key. Enabling and empowering staff and residents alike to work towards the most realistic housing solutions whilst ensuring value for money for the Council.
The ability to make decisions in a timely manner, often under pressure and responding to short notice enquiries is crucial.
