Once the properties are refurbished to our agreed standards you will need to let them as soon as possible to help maximise our income.

Your work will involve coordinating the voids process with other teams across the Council.

Your responsibilities will involve signing up new tenants - taking them to view properties and making sure they understand their rental agreements.

You should have good communication skills - be able to draft correspondence and engage our diverse communities.
