The vacancy

Are you a caring person with a natural ability to put people at ease, develop relationships and ensure the highest level of customer care? If so, you belong at Bromford!

Being an Independent Living Scheme Officer is a challenging but hugely rewarding role empowering our customers to thrive in their homes. You’ll have regular customer contact, complete annual independent living reviews, manage communal repairs and be responsible for H&S checks on site.

You have a track record of being self-motivated, flexible and able to manage your own workload
You have a reputation for first rate influencing, negotiating and relationship building skills.
Has experience of working with older people, in a customer focused environment
