Bath and North East Somerset Council Jobs

Bath and North East Somerset Council is the local authority for Bath and the surrounding towns and villages of North East Somerset, including Keynsham, Midsomer Norton and Radstock, in the West of England.

Housing and homelessness services

The council runs a dedicated housing service covering finding a home, housing advice and support, and homelessness and rough sleeping prevention. It provides housing support for vulnerable residents, administers disabled adaptations and energy-efficiency schemes, tackles damp and mould in rented homes, and regulates houses in multiple occupation and empty properties. These services sit alongside the council's wider adult and children's social care functions, which frequently intersect with people at risk of, or experiencing, homelessness.

Where they operate and who they support

Services are delivered from council offices in Bath and satellite sites such as the Civic Centre in Keynsham, reaching residents across the whole of the Bath and North East Somerset district.

Working there

Roles relevant to the homelessness sector typically sit within housing options, temporary accommodation, adult social care and children's social care teams, alongside partnership and commissioning roles that fund voluntary-sector homelessness provision.
