Are you passionate about supporting vulnerable households and ensuring safe, well‑managed accommodation? We’re looking for a proactive and reliable Housing Accommodation Officer to join our team on a part‑time, fixed‑term basis.

• Carry out spot checks on Temporary Accommodation (TA)
• Complete fire alarm testing in TA
• Conduct and maintain TA inventories
• Manage TA check-ins (including at short notice)
• Handle TA check-outs and associated inventory updates
• Assist with setting up new TA units within FHDC stock
• Support the team with any additional TA‑related tasks as required

• Full UK driving licence and access to your own vehicle
• Must live locally, due to the need for occasional short‑notice TA check‑ins
• Ideally experienced in housing, homelessness services, or property management
• Strong organisational skills and the ability to work independently
• A practical, hands‑on approach with excellent communication skills

This is a fantastic opportunity to make a genuine impact within the community while joining a supportive and dedicated team.
