Housing Management Assistant Job Description

A Postgraduate Degree in Housing Studies

You can manage housing and related services for housing associations, local authorities, charities and private sector organizations. Your role will involve managing a designated patch of housing and keeping in regular contact with tenants, looking after rental income and dealing with repairs and neighbour nuisance issues. It's common to work with people with disabilities or homeless.

You may have line management responsibility for a team of housing officers, rent arrears staff and tenancy support officers. You will work Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm. Shift work is standard if you work in a supported housing project and you have to attend evening meetings with tenants or residents.

Flexible hours, job sharing and career breaks are offered by many employers. Entry without a degree is possible. Larger housing associations are more likely to recruit graduates with personal qualities and experience than smaller housing associations.

Pre-entry experience in housing or customer service is important for some posts. Gaining experience in tenants' associations, housing association committees or in similar community roles is useful, as is vacation or voluntary work with local authority housing departments or housing associations. If you get a place on a graduate scheme, you will gain experience in a range of housing departments and may be given support to get a professional qualification accredited by CIH.

Try to get support from your employer in studying for a professional qualification. If you want to become a fully chartered member of CIH, you can study for a postgraduate degree such as the Masters degree in Housing Studies or the Postgraduate degree in Sociology. You can progress by focusing on a certain area, such as homelessness assessment, anti-social behavior, special needs housing, tenant support and liaison, allocations, rent accounts or urban renewal and regeneration.
