Housing & Neighbourhood Officer

The Housing & Neighbourhoods team at The Guinness Partnership play a crucial role in safeguarding our communities and delivering our social purpose: providing safe, high‑quality homes and essential housing services to our residents.

We have a new opportunity for a Housing & Neighbourhood Officer to join us on a 9 month fixed term contract. The role is field‑based, and you will be required to travel regularly around your designated patch in Crewe.

• Excellent customer service skills, with strong communication and relationship‑building abilities.
• The capability to plan and manage your workload effectively without high levels of supervision.
• Confidence using mobile technology to work ‘on the go’.
• Strong resource and time‑management skills, with the ability to prioritise and deliver value for money.
• Experience working in an environment of legislative and organisational change.
