Our Housing Services team manages everything from applications to property maintenance, supporting residents to have a positive and sustainable housing experience.

The Role

As a Housing Officer, you'll play a key role in supporting our residents and ensuring the smooth running of our properties. You'll be a point of contact for housing enquiries, manage applications and agreements, liaise with trades, and support residents with empathy and respect.

  • Keep accurate resident and property records
  • Liaise with residents, trades, and external agencies
  • Contribute to continuous improvement and team support

About You

You're organised, approachable, and committed. You'll bring:

  • Experience in community housing, property management, or a related role (or willingness to learn – training provided)
  • Strong organisational and record-keeping skills
  • Computer literacy (Microsoft Office; database experience an advantage)
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to build trust across diverse communities
  • A collaborative approach, with the ability to work independently
  • A current WA C-class driver's licence (vehicle provided for work use)

What We Offer

  • Salary: $65,000 – $75,000 FTE depending on experience (pro rata for 0.6 FTE) + super
  • Flexible work arrangements (3 days may be spread over 4–5 days)
  • A supportive and inclusive workplace culture
  • The chance to make a real difference every day
