This is a full-time position working 37.5 hours per week, Monday - Friday (9am-5pm), in our Housing Management team.

ABOUT US

Established in 1989, Caring for Communities and People (CCP) is a registered charity propelled by an unwavering commitment to addressing homelessness, family breakdown, and social exclusion. We are driven by our values-based approach, caring deeply about the individuals and families we serve. Our supportive programs aim at developing long-term solutions to societal challenges. Over the years, we’ve consistently made tangible impacts in communities across Gloucestershire, Worcestershire, Herefordshire, South Gloucestershire, Bristol, Wiltshire, Dorset, and Devon.

You will be able to help navigate our residents successfully through their licences/tenancies, working within a team geared towards managing all tenancy-related issues that arise.
Experience in Housing Management is not essential, as full training will be given, but transferrable skills and a keen interest to learn is.
This role will be based at the accommodation sites communicating with the young people and helping to ensure their living area is safe and habitable.
You’ll be working closely with the support team on-site to ensure the best possible outcomes for our young people.
If you are empathetic, driven, embrace opportunities and are willing to learn and reflect, we want to hear from you, to help us continue to achieve our vision and purpose.
