Knowledge of the social housing environment will be desirable.
Day to day you’ll also be providing operational support to the team, reviewing incident investigation reports and triaging advice enquiries from colleagues so there will be lots of variety in the role.
You will spend time working across our operating regions and will have the flexibility to base yourself at home or book one of our office spaces if you prefer.
