The Housing Development Assistant role represents an exciting opportunity to support the delivery of the Affordable Housing programme across Westmorland and Furness.
The post-holder will provide administrative support and assistance to the Housing Development & Enabling Team; with a particular focus on:
- The administration of the Council’s low cost housing (discounted sale) scheme;
- Preparing local occupancy documentation in respect of the sale of former Local Authority houses;
- Maintaining the Council’s Affordable Housing Grants programme.
This is a varied and interesting role, working with a range of internal and external stakeholders.
Who we are looking for…
We are seeking an enthusiastic individual to join our Housing Development & Enabling team, within the Thriving Communities directorate. The post is full-time working 37 hours per week; however, consideration will be given to part-time working, as well as agile working and working from home (subject to line manager’s agreement).
The post-holder will have strong customer service skills, and the ability to work to a high standard. Previous experience of delivering or supporting a customer-focussed, service delivery role would be desirable, and experience of working in a Housing-related environment would also be an advantage, although not essential.
You should be a team player but also able to organise your own workload and be committed to providing a high-quality service. You must have good written and oral communication skills and be competent in IT. You must have the ability to travel around Westmorland & Furness to attend meetings - a full UK driving licence with access to a car would therefore be an advantage.
You will be part of a flexible and responsive Housing Team where we work collaboratively to deliver out objectives.
