Housing & Neighbourhood Officer

JOB DESCRIPTION

At The Guinness Partnership, our team plays a vital role in safeguarding our communities and delivering on our social purpose: providing safe, high‑quality homes and essential housing services to the people who need them most.

We are currently offering an opportunity for a Housing & Neighbourhood Officer to join us at The Guinness Partnership. This is a permanent field-based position, requiring regular travel across Chesterfield & Matlock.

You will collaborate closely with Estate Services and other Guinness teams to deliver quick, efficient solutions that create positive outcomes for our residents and for Guinness.

What we are looking for
