- Liaising with staff to ensure positive outcomes, with a focus on maintaining tenancies and move on objectives
- Promoting safe working practices by undertaking risk assessments to support, reduce or eliminate risks
- Completing and monitoring health and safety checks within the service
Skills and experiences:
