Calderdale strives to develop our community to be a more inclusive economy from which everyone benefits, to reduce inequality and build a financially and environmentally sustainable future. Within Calderdale the Housing Options Team assist members of the public to identify a wide range of tenancy and other housing issues and provide advice and support to residents to remain in their home or find alternative suitable accommodation.

We are looking to recruit various Homelessness Prevention Officers to work directly, both virtually and face to face, with a range of individuals and families at the earliest stage possible to prevent their homelessness. The people appointed will ideally have experience of undertaking homelessness prevention or tenancy support work and have knowledge of the rehousing options available to potentially homeless households in Calderdale.

The successful applicants must have a full driving licence and use of a car is essential as is a clear enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service Check.

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults and expect all staff to share this commitment. Applicants to posts that are exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act will require a DBS from the Disclosure and Barring Service before the appointment is confirmed.
