Running weekly rent arrears reports, keeping records of actions taken and corresponding with tenants. Advising tenants on Housing Benefit and Universal Credit, with the aim of sustaining tenancies. Liaising with benefit agencies to resolve problems with Housing Benefit and Universal Credit. Submitting former tenant debts for write-off where the debt is unrecoverable. Taking legal action against residents who will not pay, including representing the Association in court. Applying for grants, DHP's, APA's and Direct UC payments Making affordable repayment agreements taking income and expenditure into account.

A car driver and owner is not needed as the patch (585 units across the boroughs of Enfield and Waltham Forest) is all local and can be covered by foot or bus. Previous public sector experience would be useful, but not essential.
