Peaks & Plains Housing Trust has a portfolio of approximately 5000 homes in Macclesfield and the surrounding areas. We are passionate about what we do in providing high quality homes and investing in our communities to improve people's lives.    

We are looking for a highly customer focused individual with experience of working with vulnerable customers, particularly where you have had to influence changes in their behaviour.    

A key focus of the role will be to advise and assist our ‘at risk’ and other vulnerable customers to ensure they can access appropriate financial support to sustain their tenancy and live independently.

We take pride in our properties and care about our tenants. You will work to ensure customers understand their tenancy obligations and take action against any breaches.  

Some customers may need additional support to sustain their home, it’s important for us to prevent homelessness and you will work to ensure customers receive the help and support they need.  

You will have the ability to assess customer needs and support yet also be assertive to be able to balance this against ensuring minimal property disrepair and tenancy issues.  

You will also manage referrals of safeguarding from across the Group, undertaking triage / assessments, taking appropriate safeguarding action including maintaining and updating detailed records on CRM.  

We can offer you:  

• A minimum of 28 days holiday per year (plus birthday leave and bank holidays).
