Customer Service Advisor Eastleigh, England
Job description
About us
Hey, we’re Abri, a housing association based in the south of England. One of the largest in fact. We have 80,000 customers across 35,000 homes across the south, all supported by our 1,600 colleagues working out in our communities and behind the scenes. We’re a passionate bunch and think we can make a real difference. Homelessness, poverty, inequality, a lack of affordable housing. They’re all linked and we’ve all got our part to play in tacking them head-on. Homes are at the heart of everybody’s lives. And we exist to help make good homes, and good lives, a reality for everyone.
Come be part of something special.
