Summary

We are excited to be recruiting an additional role to help support two key teams. Pivotal to the work of both the Dispersed Housing team, and the Maintenance Team, is the role of Housing and Allocations Administrator (HAA) – the two HAAs form the bedrock, the base from which the housing and maintenance teams can help keep our properties safe and well-kept, whilst supporting people to develop the skill and confidence to move to more independent living.

Please find full details of how to apply via our website in the advert below. The deadline for application submissions is 23:59, 30 April 2025.

We are striving to better represent the young people we support and therefore are particularly keen to increase applications from minoritized ethnic groups, Muslim and male candidates as they are currently under-represented in our organisation. We also encourage applications from people with relevant lived experience.

If you need an adjustment to be made to any part of the recruitment process, please let us know as soon as possible.
