Further Information
The Gateshead Housing Company is the largest social housing provider in Gateshead, responsible for the day-to-day management of nearly 20,000 homes. We deliver a wide range of services on behalf of Gateshead Council and currently employ over 800 people.
We are committed to providing customers with the highest quality of service. We believe the key to this is recruiting enthusiastic, talented people with the right skills, knowledge, attitude and behaviour.
An opportunity has arisen in the Sheltered Housing team for the role of Older Persons Housing Officer.
In this role, you will support the delivery of a comprehensive, customer-focused and responsive sheltered housing service. This will include supporting the development of older people’s services, working directly with customers and councillors, and liaising with other support agencies.
Day to day, you will be responsible for the supervision and line-management of an out-based sheltered housing team. You will support older people to live independently in a safe, comfortable environment that promotes social engagement to maximise well-being and reduce the adverse effects of social isolation and long-term health conditions.
You will also be responsible for the day-to-day tenancy and estate management of a patch of sheltered accommodation. This will involve dealing with complaints, investigating concerns relating to anti-social behaviour, building compliance and general housing enquiries.
