Neighbourhood Coach

Job description

The vacancy

If you are passionate about helping people and have the skills to guide customers to better manage their homes - we want you at Bromford.

As a roaming neighbourhood coach, you'll work flexibly across Gloucestershire to support patches, making sure the properties are well maintained, customers are aware of their responsibilities as well as offering coaching and guidance.

Day to day you will manage tenancy sign ups and changes, anti-social behaviour and safeguarding, as well as court work and evictions where necessary. You'll have a holistic customer approach and build good relationships with services in the local community, making sure you have a positive impact on the lives of our customers.

Working closely with our maintenance and lettings teams, you'll make sure we effectively allocate empty homes, manage customers' expectations around repairs as well as escalate any property maintenance issues.

To be successful here, you will need to be someone who genuinely cares about people - but with resilience, and experience of managing a busy and varied workload. Self-starters who are good communicators will thrive, as well as someone who is curious and doesn't shy away from having difficult conversations

This role is permanent, full time and subject to an enhanced DBS check. You'll support patches across Gloucestershire with travel across the surrounding areas required. Regular home working is available.
