An excellent offer…
Brent is a tremendously vibrant London borough where the iconic arch of Wembley Stadium dominates the skyline. Spanning both inner and outer London, it is a borough of huge contrasts in terms of its economic, environmental, ethnic and social make up. Brent’s diversity is evident to all who visit our borough and our long history of ethnic and cultural diversity has created a place that is truly unique and valued by those who live and work here. The council is pursuing a far-reaching transformation agenda that better meets the needs of our community so it is an exciting time to join us.

The post holder will have the opportunity to work with stakeholders across and beyond the organisation, including politicians, advocacy groups, and local communities. There will be opportunity to become Chartered Institute of Housing (CIH) Certified, and gain skills across Housing, working in a flexible, supportive environment.
