We’re currently looking for a Neighbourhood Housing Assistant Team Leader to join our team.

You’ll lead and inspire a team of Neighbourhood Housing Assistants, ensuring they deliver an efficient, proactive and customer-focused service to our Neighbourhood teams and residents. Reporting to the Head of Customer Operations, you’ll manage performance, oversee CRM work and reception services, and allocate resources to meet changing service demands. You’ll use management information and data insights to drive improvements, develop clear processes and procedures, and work collaboratively across multiple teams to enhance the overall customer experience. You’ll also support apprentices, contribute to budget preparation, and ensure accurate record-keeping in line with data governance and compliance standards.

We’re looking for someone with people management experience, strong organisational and analytical skills, and a solid understanding of housing management processes including arrears, repairs, transfers and mutual exchange.
