MidPart TimeEN
Our Independent Living teams support older people living in their own homes by providing a friendly housing management service.
We have a new opportunity for an Independent Living Advisor to join our team in Basildon. This is part time role, working 25 hours per week (8.30am – 1.30pm Monday to Friday), on a 12-month fixed term contract. This role is ideal for someone passionate about supporting older adults to maintain their independence and wellbeing.
Reporting to the Independent Living Manager, you will provide housing management services to residents in our sheltered housing schemes. Your responsibilities will include building strong relationships with residents, supporting new residents during viewings and move-ins, and helping them understand their tenancy rights and responsibilities.
You will also assist customers in accessing housing benefit support or financial advice, and make referrals for assistive technology, aids, and adaptations that promote independent living. Regular site inspections and health & safety checks will be part of your routine, along with monitoring contractor performance to ensure high standards are maintained.
Although you will primarily be working across our schemes in Basildon, you need to be flexible to travel other schemes when needed, therefore a full UK driving licence and access to your own vehicle are essential.
