The vacancy
Your day as an Allocations & Lettings Specialist at Peabody could start with reviewing new build properties for upcoming allocations, before working closely with our Neighbourhood Customer Specialists to arrange viewings and sign-ups for potential tenants. Then, you might find yourself collaborating with local authorities to manage priority transfers and rehousing needs, ensuring that homes are let as efficiently as possible and that customer queries are handled with care.
In this role, you’ll be at the heart of ensuring Peabody’s homes are filled quickly and efficiently, minimising empty homes and maximising income. You’ll work collaboratively with various teams to ensure properties meet compliance standards, re-let times are minimised, and customer satisfaction is kept high. You may be required to carry out viewings with prospective residents, so a flexible approach is essential for this role.
You’re a proactive problem-solver who thrives in a fast-paced environment. You’ll enjoy building strong relationships with colleagues and external partners, ensuring that all lettings, allocations, and rehousing needs are handled with care and efficiency. If you’re committed to delivering exceptional service, ensuring compliance with housing regulations, and improving the lives of our residents, this could be the perfect role for you.
If you’re detail-oriented, passionate about housing, and ready to make a difference, we want to hear from you. You’ll be a key player in our mission to provide quality homes and services, helping people across our communities thrive.
