• Handle TA check-outs and associated inventory updates

• Assist with setting up new TA units within FHDC stock

• Support the team with any additional TA-related tasks as required

Person Requirements

• Full UK driving licence and access to your own vehicle

• Must live locally, due to the need for occasional short-notice TA check-ins

• Ideally experienced in housing, homelessness services, or property management

• Strong organisational skills and the ability to work independently

• A practical, hands-on approach with excellent communication skills

This is a fantastic opportunity to make a genuine impact within the community while joining a supportive and dedicated team.
