Technical Officer
Disability & Home Improvement Team
Royal Greenwich Community Services
Disability & Home Improvement Technical Officer
An opportunity has arisen for a Technical Officer to join our Disability & Home Improvement Team which provides services to the homes of Greenwich residents across all tenures.
The team provides support to older and vulnerable residents to promote independent living by adapting or improving their environment. It also provides support with ensuring good housing standards are maintained for families temporarily housed by Royal Greenwich.
Applicants will need a strong commitment to the delivery of high-quality services and an understanding of housing problems faced by vulnerable people and those with disabilities.
You will either need to have a HND or equivalent in building or be HHSRS certified with relevant experience or have extensive relevant experience in either of these areas of work.
The successful candidate will have a detailed knowledge and understanding of domestic construction and be able to identify defects in domestic dwellings and appropriate remedies. An ability to design and specify simple disabled adaptations and produce schedules of repair work is an advantage as is a knowledge of relevant legislation.
For an informal chat about this post, please contact Paul Gray, 020 8921 2633 or Dianne Glasson 020 8921 2632
