About the role
Do you want to be the face of housing in your community and make a real difference to tenants’ lives?
This is your chance to be part of a bold new chapter for Housing Services at North Northamptonshire Council. We are reshaping our Housing Management Service to become more visible, proactive and closer to our tenants than ever before.
As a Neighborhood Housing Officer, you’ll manage your own patch, working directly with tenants and communities to deliver excellent, responsive services. No two days will be the same – you’ll balance support with enforcement, problem-solving with prevention, and relationship-building with results.
You will be part of a service that is:
- Visible and connected – smaller patches, stronger links with tenants and communities.
- Cleaner and safer – more caretakers working across our estates.
- Supportive and responsive – stronger focus on helping vulnerable tenants and quicker support with adaptations.
- Engaged and accountable – a stronger tenant voice and more opportunities for residents to shape our services.
This is a varied, people-focused role where you’ll see the difference you make every day and build strong foundations for your career in housing.
