At Cornwall Housing, we do things differently. We’re not just another housing provider – we're a team of passionate people working together to shape the future of housing for our communities in Cornwall. If you’re looking for more than just a job, you’ve come to the right place. 

We’re listening to what our residents want from us, what our employees need to thrive and are putting the right resources in place to move to a way of working that supports this.  

Be part of real change 

We’re transforming the way housing services are delivered, working across three localities to better meet the needs of our residents. This is your chance to be part of that change – working in a way that’s new, innovative and rooted in the communities we serve. 

More than just a 9-5 

We believe that work should fit into your life, not the other way around. That’s why we have recently enhanced our annual leave entitlement to 28 days (from 23 days) plus bank holidays, along with a flexible working through ‘Balance’. Balance at Cornwall Housing helps you establish a working environment based on trust and ensures you have the right balance between succeeding in your role and your personal commitments. 

Benefits that matter 

We care about your future and every employee at Cornwall Housing is enrolled in the generous Local Government Pension Scheme. We offer competitive salaries and you have access to Vivup, a platform offering discounts at Tesco, Currys, Asda – helping your money go further. Maybe you want to cycle to work? Or buy more annual leave? We’ve got a scheme for that too.  

A place where you belong 

We’re a family friendly employer and understand that work outside of life matters, whether that is supporting parents, carers or just encouraging a better life balance, we’re here to help you thrive both professionally and personally. 

Join us at Cornwall Housing and be part of the change – where your work has purpose, your ideas matter. Help create safe homes in strong communities for one and all.

Neighbourhood Housing Officer - North East Cornwall

This is a hands-on, community-based role where no two days are the same. You’ll work directly with residents, supporting them to manage their tenancies and live well in their homes. Using your knowledge of housing law and services, you’ll take early action to resolve issues, support positive outcomes, and uphold landlord responsibilities. 

From tackling anti-social behaviour to managing tenancy breaches and improving estates, you’ll be out and about on your patch – building stronger, safer neighbourhoods one day at a time.

We want you to care about where you work and make a difference for these residents and communities.

What you’ll need to be successful:

  • Confidence working with people in challenging situations – you’ll build long-term relationships with residents, manage sensitive conversations, support vulnerable tenants, and take enforcement action where needed. You’ll also represent us in multi-agency meetings, so being calm, credible and professional matters.
  • Experience of delivering a technical service and using legislation – you’ll be applying landlord and tenancy law and making decisions that impact people’s homes and lives. If your experience isn’t housing, you’ll need transferable evidence of applying technical knowledge in similar roles. In all these scenarios, people skills matter to us just as much.
  • Proven experience of casework, partnership working and record keeping – you’ll lead complex issues for the benefit of our residents, working with colleagues across other statutory services, health and social care and the Police, so experience in good case management is important.
  • Evidence of empowering communities and neighbourhoods – we want to empower our residents to make a difference to their communities so your experience of engagement, improvement projects and involving stakeholders in local decision-making really matters.
  • Good judgement and resilience – you’ll know when to listen, when to challenge, and when to escalate. This role isn’t always easy, and you’ll be trusted to manage risk, make fair decisions, and take action in the best interests of residents, the community, and for Cornwall Housing.
  • A full UK driving licence and access to a vehicle – this is a patch-based role covering around 500 homes where visibility matters. You’ll be out meeting residents, inspecting homes and estates, and taking proactive steps to improve neighbourhoods.
