Description

Hackney Council is looking for someone with a background in private sector housing to help make a difference to tenants' lives.

One in three households in Hackney now rents in the private sector. Housing across London is experiencing unprecedented pressure, with rents rocketing as demand increases. Hackney's Mayor has pledged to tackle poor conditions and management concerns.


We need people like you - keen to make a difference, who understand the impact housing issues have on the health and wellbeing of residents.

You will help us respond to our customers' needs, providing services on-line to make our response more accessible and efficient.

You will use a wide range of data and intelligence to target enforcement on properties and landlords where it matters most.
