Housing Officer

Job Description

Hilldale Housing Association is a small organisation that grew up in the Northwest but now has a national reach. We are part of the Change Housing Group that aims to support and develop smaller organisations by improving and growing their businesses and housing solutions to enable more people to live independently.

We are currently transforming the business to enable it to address ongoing challenges but also to strengthen it to facilitate further growth and investment to meet the needs of those looking to live independently with support.

We are looking for someone who can work alongside partners to improve services and help Hilldale grow and enhance its reputation across your region as a provider of housing solutions for people who sometimes have complex needs and challenging behaviours.

The role will be homebased but require visits to sites across Wigan therefore you will need to be able to travel with expenses paid.

The post is part time working 22.5 hours over 3 days per week which can worked flexibly.

The last year has been a challenging one for many people and in that time at Hilldale we have also gone through significant change and challenge which has built a firm foundation for the future. Our focus now is to use that platform to develop a more efficient and high quality service by developing our people but also by listening and responding to the needs of Tenants and those we work closely with.

If you feel as though you can bring something special to our team then we want to hear from you . It’s a difficult and demanding role but one where the right person can make a big impact and have a say and influence on the future of Hilldale.
