• Reviewing support plans and risk assessments when required to ensure your customers needs are being met.
• Ensuring our properties are well maintained, clean and homely. This not only ensures our customers have a nice place to live, but it also helps with keeping our voids to a minimum.
• Cuppas, chats and catch ups. There’s no rushing from one customer to the next here! Plenty of time to collaborate with colleagues too.
