Have you worked on the Resettlement team in a Local Authority?

A Local Authority in West Sussex is looking for a Housing Options Officer specialising in Asylum Support and Resettlement to join their team on a six-month contract. This hybrid role involves one day in the office, one day working in a hotel within the district, and the remainder from home.

You will assess clients at the hotel, gather documentation, identify housing pathways, and facilitate referrals and move-on support.
