The Vacancy

We are extremely excited to launch our new Neighbourhood Housing Management Model across our operating areas of Liverpool, Warrington, and St Helens.

This is an important role in which you will:

  • Work collaboratively with teams across the Torus Group and externally to ensure that our properties are allocated in a timely and accurate manner.
  • Ensure that processes and Allocation Policies are followed, and you operate them effectively on behalf of relevant Local Authorities to assist with their responsibility for rehousing.
