About the role:
West Sussex County Council, whilst not a housing authority or provider of social housing, has a responsibility in supporting our refugee, resettled and migrant families to find appropriate and affordable accommodation within West Sussex.

This role will sit within the property and accommodation structure strand, working collaboratively with teams within the Communities directorate, partners and District and Boroughs seeking and supporting families with finding appropriate housing. In this role, you will work to secure suitable residential accommodation, overcome barriers to housing, and prevent accommodation coming to a premature end.

This is a varied role which includes working directly with refugee and migrant individuals and families to support their relocation to the UK. Strong working relationships will need to be formed with our local estate agents and landlords, and with the Home Office, to secure property within West Sussex. We are passionate about preventing our families spending time in temporary accommodation.

You will be required to travel throughout the County, including to locations that are not always easily accessible by public transport. There is a regular and intrinsic requirement to communicate in English with members of the public.
