Blackpool Council is committed to creating a fair place where aspiration and ambition are encouraged. We are looking for an experienced, motivated and proactive
Housing Options Team Leader to help lead our Housing Options Service and make a real difference to the lives of residents facing housing difficulties and homelessness.

This is a rewarding opportunity to play a key role in delivering the Council's statutory homelessness and housing allocation functions, whilst leading a dedicated, specialist team focused on early intervention, preventing homelessness, supporting vulnerable residents, sustaining tenancies and improving housing outcomes across Blackpool.
