• The ability to manage competing priorities and maintain high-quality records.
• Confidence working with data, reporting systems and audit processes.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to build effective relationships with colleagues and external partners.
• A proactive, solutions-focused approach and a commitment to continuous improvement.

Why join us?

This is an opportunity to be part of a professional and ambitious team that is strengthening safeguarding across one of the UK's largest housing associations. Your work will have a direct impact on resident safety, helping ensure vulnerable residents receive the right support at the right time.
