Are you an experienced income specialist ready to hit the ground running?

We’re looking for someone who knows the ropes when it comes to income recovery, tenancy sustainment, and supporting customers through complex financial challenges. If you’re confident in your knowledge of housing law, benefits, and court processes — and you’re passionate about making a difference — this could be the role for you.

At Bromford, we believe in homes that enable people to thrive. As an income management officer, you’ll be a key part of that mission — supporting customers to manage their rent, maximise their income, and stay securely housed.

What you’ll be doing:

  • Managing a defined patch of customer accounts, with a focus on early intervention and sustainable outcomes
  • Providing tailored advice on benefits, budgeting, and income maximisation
  • Taking proactive steps to recover rent arrears and meet performance targets
  • Preparing and presenting cases in court, with confidence in legal processes and documentation
  • Using data and insight to inform your approach and continuously improve results
  • Working closely with colleagues across housing, support, and external agencies
  • Supporting vulnerable customers with empathy and professionalism, even in challenging situations

What we’re looking for:

  • Proven experience in income recovery or tenancy sustainment within social housing
  • A confident communicator who can work autonomously and solve problems effectively, using tenacity, a fair but firm approach, and empathy
  • Someone who’s target-driven but always customer-focused
  • A self-starter who thrives in a fast-paced, mobile role
  • Knowledge of welfare benefits, housing legislation, and court procedures
  • Comfortable using housing systems and Microsoft tools, with a strong eye for detail and data accuracy
  • A full UK driving licence is essential, as this is a roaming role involving home working, office, and home visits
  • Able to complete an enhanced DBS check

You'll need the confidence to make sound decisions, manage challenging conversations, and support customers to improve their financial wellbeing.

Closing Date: Thursday 16 2026.  Interviews will take place at our office in Tewkesbury.

Please note: Depending on the volume of applications we receive, we may close this advert earlier than the stated closing date. We encourage you to apply as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.
