Position Overview & Specifications
Redbridge is an ambitious, diverse and exciting east-London borough. What we do is driven by changing our relationship with local people to support our vision. As a result, we've developed innovative ways to build our communities and transform our Council.
We're one of the fastest growing parts of the country and the third most diverse London borough. Our communities are attracted by a mixture of excellent schools, relatively affordable housing, high-quality open space and rapid transport connections into the heart of the City.
About us
A number of exciting opportunities have arisen to join our Housing Solutions Team to deliver an exciting and high-profile project that will support households to move out of temporary accommodation into more sustainable housing solutions.

We are looking for positive, adaptable and resilient individuals with experience of working in a housing role in a local authority, housing association or other agency and a good understanding of the Housing Act 1996.
About You
You will be a team player capable of working in a busy and varied environment. You will use your detailed knowledge of the Housing Act 1996 and excellent assessment skills to complete high quality decisions that will stand up to scrutiny. You will also have strong communication and negotiating skills that will allow you work with customers to achieve positive outcomes.
