We are seeking an effective Senior Officer with experience of managing complex and detailed casework to join the Housing Solutions team and contribute towards the delivery of a high-quality housing service. The successful candidate will have experience of managing staff and of detailed homelessness casework as well as homelessness legislation and making enquiries and legal decisions in line with the statutory duties of a local authority.
This is a challenging role, and you will be required to have excellent communication and negotiation skills as you will be dealing with people often in emotional and stressful situations.

To succeed in this role, you will be a good problem solver who is able to work assertively but sensitively and be a good team player. The ability to collate and present complex information clearly is also essential.
You must be adaptable and be able to react effectively to changing circumstances. Protecting children, young people or adults at risk is a core responsibility of all council employees.
