Jobs

In Kensington and Chelsea, we put local people at the heart of decision-making. Working in partnership with our community, we deliver responsive, effective and efficient services. Grenfell has impacted every facet of our work. So, it’s vital we properly understand the needs of those facing homelessness and give them the quality of life they richly deserve. 

As our Review Officer, you’ll help drive a transformation that sets new benchmarks. Together, we’ll work more closely with key services to provide a place and a space that is aligned with our values. We’ll put ourselves in residents’ shoes by increasing our diversity and involving more residents in our work.

The Role:

Reporting to the Reviews Service Manager, you’ll be responsible for reviewing statutory Housing Act 1996 Part VI and VII applications along with reviewing requests for additional priority within the Councils Allocations policy. 

As a topic expert, you’ll be a source of advice and champion of best practice for teams across the Council. We’ll also ask you to support our training programme and ensure that all our processes and decisions comply with legislation, case law, and national and local policy and procedures.

About You:

It is vital you have empathy and understanding of all the issues customers may face.  You will be comfortable in taking ownership for important decisions and you’ll bring a comprehensive legislative and technical understanding – not only for the day-to-day, but also when training your colleagues and external partners and contributing to our wider Housing Needs strategy. 

In return, you can look forward to a package that includes a competitive salary, a high-quality pension scheme and generous annual leave plus bank holidays. But ultimately, you’ll see this as a chance to create the kind of service you believe every community needs.
