Our client is a Housing Association with 6,500 homes across East Surrey and Sussex. They build homes for those whose housing needs are not met in the standard market and in doing so they help them change their lives.

As a Welfare Reform Officer, you will support residents in moving onto Universal Credit and ensuring their rent is paid in advance or payment plans are agreed.

You will work closely with their Financial Inclusion Officers, Income Officers, and customers to assess vulnerability, set up appropriate payment methods, and liaise with other agencies.

You may also be required to support residents affected by other aspects of welfare reform as and when they arise and will be responsible for reporting on the effect of Universal Credit in the business. With a proactive approach, you will deliver against clear targets and have high personal standards. You will also be measured against the client's aims and values.

The successful candidate will have excellent knowledge and understanding of
Welfare Reform legislation, particularly around Universal Credit; and have a background in financial inclusion, income management, or housing management. You will have the ability to build relationships with partner agencies, work as part of a team and understand the need for our client's income collection priorities as well as income maximisation for the resident.
