Following a restructure of our Housing Team we have created some new and exciting opportunities. If you are a go getter and enjoy working with and supporting customers, this could be the place for you.

We have an excellent opportunity for a motivated candidate to apply for the role of Homelessness Service Officer, within Communities, Place and Economy. We are looking for someone with a flexible attitude to the work and who is solution focused in their approach.

The role will be varied and rewarding, our customers are always put at the heart of our service provision ensuring we deliver excellent advice and assistance.

The role requires the successful applicant to work with other colleagues in our Homelessness Service and with key partners to deliver a robust homelessness service that provides support to vulnerable individuals and families at risk of or experiencing homelessness.

Whilst this role is based in Penrith you must have the ability to travel efficiently around the area to conduct visits and attend meetings where necessary. A full UK driving licence and access to a car would be advantageous.
