Vico Homes is built on the foundations of WDH. We are looking for a Land and Wayleave Officer to join our Commercial Property Service Team.
A home is more than four walls and a roof. It should be a safe place. A place to start things. A place of opportunities. A place to grow. A place where you feel you belong.
These are the places we provide for today and for the future. This is what marks us out as one of the leading players in the social housing sector. We have over 32,000 homes across the north of England, home to tens of thousands of people. And people are at the centre of what we do.
Our people are approachable and professional. But we’re not afraid to be optimistic and show our passion for what we do to support our customers. We share a common vision, acting confidently to ensure we remain at the forefront of making it happen.
Together, we’re building better futures and vibrant communities.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

We are looking for an individual who will live and breathe our values of Caring, Ambitious, United and Confident. You must be able to manage a varied and sometimes hectic workload, while at the same time prioritise projects to deliver the best customer service possible.
