About Us

We have a vacancy in our Housing Assessment Team and are looking for a capable and ambitious individual to join Richmond and Wandsworth Council's Shared Staffing Arrangement.

You will be a team player, articulate and organised and able to work under pressure to deliver a first class housing assessment service.

  • Be able to discuss complex cases with other professionals and explain rehousing prospects.
  • Be able to write case notes and assessments of a high standard.
  • Be a motivated and engaged team player


In addition, we offer a comprehensive range of staff benefits such as membership of the Local Government pension scheme, childcare vouchers, new technology scheme, interest-free loans on annual travel cards, discounts with many leisure activities, restaurants, shops and other establishments.
