Sonic Summary

info
  • A Local Authority in Kent is seeking a Housing Options Officer for a 3-month contract focused on Relief work, with potential for extension.
  • Candidates should have solid experience in managing cases, drafting S184 decision letters, and creating Personalised Housing Plans.
  • Familiarity with the Huume system is a bonus, although not essential for the role.
  • The position is hybrid, requiring comfort with both remote work and face-to-face duties in the office.
  • The salary is competitive, and candidates should ideally have previous experience working with Kent-based councils.

I'm currently working with a Local Authority in Kent that is looking to bring on a Housing Options Officer with a focus on Relief work.

This is an initial 3-month contract, with a strong likelihood of extension, as the team is currently down by two officers.

Experience using the Huume system would be a real bonus, though it's not essential. You'll be managing cases from the initial approach all the way through to final decision, so solid experience in drafting S184 decision letters and Personalised Housing Plans is a must.

The role is hybrid and will involve face-to-face duty, so you'll need to be comfortable with going into the offices.

If you've previously worked within Kent-based councils, that experience is highly valued. Kent tends to operate a bit differently from London - typically smaller teams and lower caseloads (ranging from the high 20s to low 30s), so familiarity with that setup is a plus.
