6 month fixed term contract to cover maternity leave

South East London, SE1 7JB – hybrid working, 1-2 days a week in the office

Your typical day could start with a welcome visit to new tenants who’ve just moved in, before you go to a Residents’ Association meeting to hear residents’ concerns around local issues on their estate. Then you might be showing some residents how they can access Peabody’s self-service options for managing their account, before heading across to meet a vulnerable resident who needs your help.

As a roaming Neighbourhood Manager, you’ll be the ‘face of Peabody’ and no one day is the same.
