The Guinness Partnership has a new opportunity for a Housing Assistant to join our team in West London on a 12-month fixed term contract. This position is also open to job share proposals; therefore we also invite applications from individuals seeking part‑time hours.
As a Housing Assistant, you will assist with the delivery of the Customer Liaison Service, by providing administrative support and resident query management across the function to achieve positive outcomes for Guinness and our residents.
