We want you to be somebody who:
- Has experience of working in social housing and/or support-related services
- previous customer service experience is essential
- Is well organised, comfortable in making their own decisions and a problem solver
- Will meet the needs of customers and the wider community, whilst ensuring that service delivery is in line with Bromford’s policies and procedures
- Will show confidence when articulating services to customers, colleagues and partner agencies
- Is comfortable reporting and maintaining accurate and up-to-date customer information, including the handling of safeguarding concerns
- Has resilience. Things rarely stand still here, so you need to be someone who embraces change and can bounce back after dealing with challenging conversations
