An excellent offer…

Brent is a tremendously vibrant London borough where the iconic arch of Wembley Stadium dominates the skyline. Spanning both inner and outer London, it is a borough of huge contrasts in terms of its economic, environmental, ethnic and social make up. Brent’s diversity is evident to all who visit our borough and our long history of ethnic and cultural diversity has created a place that is truly unique and valued by those who live and work here.

The council is pursuing a far-reaching transformation agenda that better meets the needs of our community, so it is an exciting time to join us.

The Post

This post will play a key role visiting supported accommodation across Brent. This is a primarily on-site role that will check and record the quality of support and accommodation residents are receiving, check there are no immediate concerns, try to resolve any challenges residents are experiencing, signpost to further support, and identify residents ready to move into independent living. This will directly inform the Council’s supported housing strategy and inform which providers the Council supports, commissions and refers into – and which ones require improvement. This is a key role directly helping our most vulnerable residents, and also directly shaping the Council’s approach to supporting those residents into the future.

The Person

The ideal candidate will be curious, kind and someone who enjoys solving problems. You’ll be excited to get out and about in Brent, seeing the supported accommodation across the borough, and meeting and helping some of Brent’s most vulnerable residents. You’ll be able to collect information in a structured way to help the council understand what supported accommodation looks like in Brent, and how it can be improved. You’re adaptable and are good at interacting with residents. Ultimately, you’ve motivated by upholding quality standards and helping vulnerable people.

Why join us?

We know people achieve their best when they feel valued. At Brent, you will benefit from:
•    Up to 33 days annual leave (depending on length of service) plus bank holidays
•    Excellent pension with generous employer contributions (LGPS)
•    Hybrid and flexible working options available for most roles
•    Supportive family-friendly policies for parent, guardians, and carers
•    Health and wellbeing support, including access to eye test support and a 24/7 Employee Assistance Programme
•    Financial support such as education sessions, childcare deposit loans, and season ticket loans
•    Travel perks including affordable parking nearby, a Cycle to Work scheme, and great onsite facilities
•    Learning and development opportunities to help you grow your career
•    Access to My Brent Rewards with exclusive discounts on shopping, travel, leisure, and entertainment
