Housing Services Officers (no housing experience necessary) Job in Lambeth, London UK

Our people are really proud to work for an organisation that houses new families every day and helps to change the lives of many others. We've re-organised our housing operations to plough more resources into the front line. We need people like you to work with our residents in local communities, drawing together services to maximise customer satisfaction. Housing is one of the most rewarding careers there is. You don't need housing experience to work for Metropolitan. But you do need brilliant communication skills, the ability to read people and situations and a real empathy with the work of housing associations. Be aware that you'll sometimes need to deal with some difficult community situations and that's not always easy. But we'll provide all the training you need. We're looking for the very best that we can find; the people that our residents are deserving of working with. If you already work in housing, then we'd also be delighted to hear from you.
