We’re currently looking for a Neighbourhood Housing Assistant Team Leader to join our team.
You’ll lead and inspire a team of Neighbourhood Housing Assistants, ensuring they deliver an efficient, proactive and customer-focused service to our Neighbourhood teams and residents. Reporting to the Head of Customer Operations, you’ll manage performance, oversee CRM work and reception services, and allocate resources to meet changing service demands.

You’ll also support apprentices, contribute to budget preparation, and ensure accurate record-keeping in line with data governance and compliance standards.
We’re looking for someone with people management experience, strong organisational and analytical skills, and a solid understanding of housing management processes including arrears, repairs, transfers and mutual exchange. You’ll be confident using Microsoft Office (particularly Word and Excel), comfortable interrogating data, and knowledgeable about the social housing sector and current challenges. A Level 4 housing qualification (or willingness to work towards one within two years) is essential. Above all, you’ll lead with professionalism, uphold our values, and champion equality, diversity and inclusion in everything you do.
The role will also require occasional travel to our regional offices to provide hands-on support, build strong cross-team relationships, and ensure consistent service delivery across locations.
