Housing Officer, Social Work

Williamsburgh Housing Association is delighted to offer an exciting opportunity to join our Housing Team as a Housing Officer. This role has been strengthened and modernised following a comprehensive review of our services, ensuring we have the right capacity, skills and focus to deliver excellent outcomes for our tenants and communities.

As a Housing Officer, you’ll take ownership of a defined patch, leading on tenancy management, estate services, anti‑social behaviour casework, allocations, and early intervention support. You’ll work closely with colleagues across the organisation to deliver responsive, person‑centred services that make a real difference.

This is a varied and rewarding frontline role with responsibility for managing all aspects of housing services within your patch. You’ll lead on tenancy sustainment, rent and arrears management, ASB investigation and enforcement, estate inspections, voids and allocations, and partnership working with external agencies.

You’ll be a visible presence in our communities, building strong relationships with tenants, resolving issues early, and ensuring homes and neighbourhoods are safe, well managed and welcoming. The role offers excellent professional development and the chance to shape positive outcomes for individuals and families.

We’re looking for someone who is confident working with people, able to manage complex and sometimes challenging situations, and committed to delivering excellent customer service. Strong communication skills, sound judgement, and the ability to balance empathy with clear decision making are essential.

You’ll thrive in this role if you enjoy problem solving, working independently, and making a meaningful impact in our communities.
