<p>We are seeking a Resident Engagement Officer to lead the development and delivery of our next Resident Engagement Strategy, shaping how residents influence, scrutinise and improve the services they receive. &nbsp;This is a unique opportunity to champion meaningful engagement and drive a culture of inclusion, accountability and co-production across our Housing, Wellbeing &amp; Communities service.</p>
<p>From estate walkabouts and resident panels to digital engagement and the Arun@Home newsletter, your work will be central to how we listen to tenants and leaseholders and how we act on what they tell us.
