We have an exciting opportunity to join us as a Temporary Accommodation Housing Officer, working in a fast paced and dynamic environment. We are looking for two experienced housing officers (experience not essential if you can demonstrate an ability to learn) to join our Temporary Accommodation team which provides support to individuals and families whilst they wait to secure a new permanent home.

At Knowsley Council we will consider requests for flexible working.  For most roles, the following types of flexibility are usually possible: flexible hours, working from home, compressed hours, part-time.

We promote applications from all sections of the community, regardless of background, belief, or identity, recognising the value that diversity brings to our organisation. We particularly welcome applications from individuals from Black and Minority Ethnic backgrounds and candidates with disabilities as we acknowledge their underrepresentation in our workforce.
