Summary

Housing Caseworker – Basildon, Essex

At Peabody, we are committed to assisting tenants in our temporary accommodation services who may need guidance to maintain stable housing and live independently. We provide a person-centred service to households who are homeless or may be at risk of homelessness, experiencing financial pressures, or adjusting to new tenancies whilst their homeless application is assessed by the local authority. As housing caseworkers, we focus on early intervention, tenancy sustainment, and connecting tenants to the right services, helping them build confidence, develop independence, and move on to longer-term, secure housing.

Please note:

This is not a personal care role. We are specifically seeking candidates with experience in casework, tenancy support, or advice roles, not those with a background in personal care or care work.

About the role:

You will guide and empower tenants in temporary accommodation to sustain their tenancies through the delivery of housing-related advice. The role encourages tenants to take a proactive approach in managing their accommodation and personal housing plans as defined by the local authority.
