Housing Advisor (SO2)

Are you looking to kickstart a career where your work makes a tangible, life-changing impact every single day? As a Housing Advisor (SO2) at the London Borough of Lambeth, you will join a passionate team based at the Camberwell Foyer, serving as a frontline advocate for some of our community’s most vulnerable residents. This is an ideal role for an empathetic, ambitious graduate or early-career professional who is ready to tackle the complexities of homelessness prevention head-on. You won’t just be processing paperwork; you will be a vital lifeline, helping individuals navigate their housing journeys and securing the stability they deserve.

In this dynamic role, you will be empowered to translate the Homelessness Reduction Act into real-world solutions. Your day-to-day will involve conducting comprehensive housing needs assessments and crafting bespoke, forward-thinking housing plans that address the unique circumstances of each person you assist. While this environment is fast-paced and occasionally challenging, it offers unparalleled professional growth, sharpening your skills in crisis management, legal application, and interpersonal communication. If you are a resilient problem-solver eager to build a career in public service with one of London’s most vibrant boroughs, we want to hear from you.
