JOB OVERVIEW
We have a fantastic new job opportunity for a Neighbourhood Housing Officer with excellent customer service and interpersonal skills to work remotely in the community covering Felpham, Bognor, Barnham and Chichester areas.
Customers are at the heart of everything we do and we want to make a difference to their lives and the communities in which they live and work.

You will be based from our offices in Worthing, but will spend the majority of your time working remotely in the community to identity problems and interact with customers and agencies to resolve issues. This can include enforcement action, sign-posting, problem-solving and engaging with residents to improve the community.

It’s much more than bricks and mortar – it’s about people, communities and opportunities.
Worthing Homes has over 3,500 properties in the Sussex coastal area. We provide affordable rented homes, key worker accommodation, low cost shared ownership, sheltered housing and new homes for local people.
Our customers are at the heart of everything we do and we strive to effectively manage, maintain and improve their homes.
