• Good organisational skills and attention to detail
• An understanding of housing services or a strong willingness to learn
• A clear commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion
• Confidence working independently while staying connected to a wider team
• IT confidence, including using digital tools to support engagement

Location and flexibility
