Job Description

A Leicestershire-based Local Authority is looking for 2 Housing Allocation Officers to join their team at least until the end of February.

You will be joining their duty team, which will include 1-2 days in the office where you will be working alongside the Housing Triage and Homelessness Teams.

You will need experience:

Assessing Housing Register applications and processing initial and full assessments, changes of circumstances, medical needs, and annual renewals.

Providing detailed assessments and advice on housing register eligibility, banding, priority awards, and housing options.

Ensuring the register complies with the Council's Housing Allocation Scheme, policies, and relevant legislation such as Part 6 of THA 1996.Ideally, the Council is looking for someone with Part 6 and 7 knowledge, as you may also be required to help the Housing Options Team, whilst on duty, if necessary.

As this is a customer-facing role, they are looking for someone personable who can also get their head down with applications and assessments!

If you have experience within Home Connections, this will be highly desirable, but not necessary.

Interviews are taking place next week.
