Housing Officers maintain a visible and responsive presence in our communities, building strong relationships with tenants and addressing a range of housing matters.

Our Housing Officers embody our ‘tenant first’ ethos - listening to tenants, responding with empathy and professionalism and working in partnership to deliver services that make a lasting, positive impact.
While this role is home based there is a requirement to regularly attend patches, in person meetings and training events at locations across the region we therefore have a business need for the post holder to be within close proximity of the patch which is within the East of the region which will cover Dumfries and surrounding area.
