Job details
Job description, work day and responsibilities
We are excited to be recruiting an additional role to help support two key teams. Pivotal to the work of both the Dispersed Housing team, and the Maintenance Team, is the role of Housing and Allocations Administrator (HAA) – the two HAAs form the bedrock, the base from which the housing and maintenance teams can help keep our properties safe and well-kept, whilst supporting people to develop the skill and confidence to move to more independent living.
