Our diverse team is based across the city in one of our two housing offices in Whitehawk and Kemptown; at Hove Town Hall, and at our Housing Centre based in Moulsecoomb. On the days you are working in the office, you will be in a spacious and welcoming working environment, and whether working in the office or remotely, you will become part of our friendly and supportive management team. In return, we can offer you a competitive salary, training and qualifications, career progression with the opportunity to become involved and lead on bespoke projects, flexible working, a generous annual leave allowance with the opportunity to buy extra days, staff discounts, and admittance into the Local Government Pension Scheme.
