Job Purpose: Housing Management Officers play an integral role in delivering the Highland Council’s housing service and are the single point of contact for our social housing tenants for all tenancy related matters.

This is a varied role with competing demands that requires a comprehensive and organised approach. Community interaction is fundamental to delivering housing services and there will be daily interaction whereby there are opportunities to influence and assist with creating positive and sustainable neighbourhoods. Housing Management Officers work with individuals with diverse needs and requirements to sustain their tenancies.
