Govanhill Housing Association provides a comprehensive range of services focused on the needs of tenants and owner occupiers in the Govanhill and Merrylee communities. We carry out acquisition and improvement of tenemental stock as well as delivering a new build programme. We work closely with our subsidiary company, Govanhill Community Development Trust, whose community development and regeneration services complement our own role as a social landlord.

We are looking for an experienced Welfare Rights Assistant to come join our team and contribute to the provision of a high-quality welfare rights advice service.

You will join a team of three staff, one of which will be your job-share partner. Joining an established small team you will need to be able to manage a fast paced, unpredictable workload and demonstrate experience and sound understanding of legislation and benefit entitlement.

As a Welfare Rights Assistant you will ensure referrals are managed and progressed and you will work in collaboration with Housing Officers and members of our Rent Team to provide tenants with support and assistance.

An overall aim of the role is to maximise tenants income and to assist with minimising rent arrears.

This role requires the ability to be flexible, working well both as part of a small team and on your own initiative. It is essential that the postholder can demonstrate a high degree of organisational ability, excellent communication skills and a strong commitment to making a positive difference.
