Job introduction

We are looking for an experienced administrator to assist in with the procurement and processing of temporary housing for households threatened with homelessness.

About the role

Based in central Brighton, the Acquisitions Team is responsible for sourcing accommodation from private sector landlords across the Greater Brighton area.

We are looking for an administrator with experience in data entry; customer service; payment of accounts; purchasing; electronic filing and other office-based tasks.

Dealing with enquiries from a diverse range of tenants, landlords, contractors and agents by phone and email, the successful applicant will be responsible for organising gas and electrical safety inspections, EPCs, lease and rental queries.

Additional information

Your starting salary will be pro rata if the above position is part-time or term-time only.

Work Permits: we may be able to obtain a Work Permit for this post but this is subject to meeting the requirements of the UK Border Agency's Points-based Immigration System.

From 6 April 2011 the Home Office has placed a permanent restriction on the number of migrant workers that all Tier 2 (General) Sponsors can recruit. Due to the restrictions we cannot guarantee that individuals that meet the requirements of the Points-based Immigration System will be issued with clearance to obtain work permits.

Company information

We welcome applications from all sections of the community but particularly encourage applicants from a BME or White Other background as well as those who identify as male or trans as these groups are currently under-represented in our Directorate workforce.
