We're working with a South London Local Authority to recruit an experienced Housing Advisor on a hybrid basis.

In this role, you'll play a key part in preventing homelessness in line with the Homelessness Reduction Act, delivering high-quality advice and support to residents at risk. You'll carry out detailed housing needs assessments and develop personalised housing plans tailored to individual circumstances.
Managing a busy and often complex caseload, you'll work proactively to prevent or relieve homelessness through advice, advocacy, negotiation and mediation. You'll ensure all housing options are fully explored, always aiming for the best possible outcomes.
Where prevention or relief is not achievable, you'll assess homelessness applications under Part VII of the Housing Act 1996, conducting thorough investigations and clearly communicating decisions to applicants.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a skilled housing professional who thrives in a fast-paced environment and is passionate about making a difference.
