Housing Registration Administrators are responsible for delivering a high quality service to customers, meeting their needs at the first point of contact. They have the ability to be flexible within the remit of the Customer Service Centre and capable of resolving enquiries in whichever manner they are received, e.g. telephone, e-mail, in person.
The postholder will be responsible for accurately processing applications to Link’s choice based letting (CBL) system, assessing applicants’ housing needs in line with our Lettings Policy and awarding priority where appropriate.
Applications are assessed using the rules set out in our Lettings Policy, and you will mostly be assessing applications using the rules and guidelines that are provided. However, you will also come across situations which fall outside of these guidelines, so you must have the ability to use your initiative and make decisions on assessments on your own.
Primarily, this role is a customer service role. Members of the team are expected to remain calm, sympathetic and supportive while dealing with both routine and difficult situations, and to always maintain confidentiality.

You will have a high degree of competence in the use of IT Systems, particularly those used in a service delivery, as well as practical experience of Microsoft Office programmes – especially Outlook, Word and Excel – and a knowledge and understanding of Data Protection and its application in a customer focused environment.
Experience of Choice Based Lettings (CBL) systems is desirable.
In return you will be offered the opportunity to enhance your skills and knowledge through employee training and development. You can expect to work in a supportive, trusting and transparent working environment, with the autonomy to offer creative and innovative solutions whilst maintaining Link’s values; Responsibility, Empathy, Social Impact, Participate, Equality, Challenge and Transparency.
