To provide specialist and comprehensive housing advice and options to members of the public and delivering the Council’s statutory homelessness functions, focussed on preventing and relieving homelessness while managing expectations.

The post holder will be responding to immediate homelessness situations and arranging placement in emergency accommodation. Where a homeless application is triggered, the post holder will make key decisions about whether the Council’s statutory duties have been discharged and issue formal decision notifications.
