This is an opportunity to join a friendly and hard-working team seeking to help customers with a wide range of housing needs and to contribute to the prevention of homelessness in Oxford.
The post is based in the busy Housing Needs Team within the Assessment Team and focuses on rapidly assessing and prioritising the large amount of General Register and Transfer housing applications received from customers applying for an offer of the limited social housing becoming available to those included on the Oxford Register for Affordable Housing.
