Meet the Tenancy Team
The Tenancy Team is made up of Housing Officers, Estate Services Officers, Senior Housing Officers and the Tenancy Team Manager. They are there to deal with and resolve many tenancy-related issues. Because of the large geographical area in which Estuary Housing Association holds housing stock, the Officers are split into two teams - the East Team and the West Team.
A description of their roles and the members of each team follow.
Housing Officers
Housing Officers
A Housing Officer deals with a variety of things every day. They each have an area to manage which we refer to as their ‘patch’. The Housing Officer can have up to and sometimes more than 600 homes in their patch. As the majority of their time is spent out of the office, they may not be at their desk to speak to directly. Where this happens, you will have the choice to leave a message for them and they will return your call or, if your enquiry is urgent, the Housing Officer on duty that day will assist you.
The Housing Officers' main role is to assist Estuary’s residents with more detailed enquiries and concerns about their homes and communities. They deal with many issues including, but not limited to:
- Anti-social behaviour
- Mutual exchanges
- Changes to tenancy
- Lettings
- Inspection visits of the property.
Estate Services Officers
Estate Services Officers
The Estate Services Officers deal with communal matters by undertaking the following:
- Ensure that the properties, equipment and estates owned by Estuary Housing Association are regularly inspected and maintained to a high standard.
- Monitor the quality of the cleaning and grounds maintenance services aiming to ensure that they are undertaken as per agreed specifications.
- Investigate communal concerns liaising with other Officers (including Housing staff) to ensure problems are dealt with promptly.
