Working autonomously, you will manage your own caseload, using sound judgment to determine when to escalate or refer to your manager. You will also contribute to identifying service gaps and co-developing solutions to meet the evolving needs of tenants and the wider community.
Key Responsibilities:
We are committed to exploring flexible working opportunities which benefit the individual and the charity and are a “Happy to Talk Flexible” employer: working days will be discussed and agreed with the Locality Manager and can be adjusted for the suitable candidate.
