Where is the best place to look for a job in council housing?

Question

I'm looking for South East London / Kent etc.

Answer 1

Hi,

Well I work in Council Housing, and jobsgopublic is a good website but if you go on allhousingjobs.co.uk you will find a lot of housing jobs, that are in the private sector as well as Local Authority.

There are also many recruitment agencies that employ people, that is how I started, working for an agency but based in the housing department of a Local Authority, you gain the experience to be able to apply for positions within that local authority.

Remember that some Local Authorities do not own housing stock, they are managed by private companies, so you would have to apply to that company for a job in the housing department.

Good Luck

If you can add up then take a tip Broomleigh HA in Bromley will soon be looking for a rent assessor once we have finished suing the idiot who can't count and has caused us 6 months of h**l with County Court Orders, just won our case and damages are going through the roof.

Try the South London Press, Mercury, or other local newspapers. Or try the '.gov.uk' websites for your desired Borough.
