Jobs in housing are varied and interesting; typical housing jobs can involve allocating homes to tenants, giving advice to homeless and vulnerable people on how they can get a place to live, assessing and organising repairs and dealing with anti-social behaviour. There are also many specialist roles available in finance, ICT, legal services and information.
Valuable skills can be gained working in housing. These include communication and negotiation skills, team working, the ability to work using your own initiative, an understanding of vulnerable people with varied needs and empathy and understanding.
