London Borough of Waltham Forest Jobs | 1 Live Vacancy

The London Borough of Waltham Forest is an outer-London borough covering Walthamstow, Leyton, Leytonstone and Chingford, administered from Waltham Forest Town Hall in Walthamstow.

Housing services

Waltham Forest runs an extensive in-house housing service covering council housing management, leaseholder services, private sector housing licensing, building-safety investment, and a housing regeneration programme delivered partly through its own developer, Sixty Bricks. It also runs dedicated homelessness advice and rough-sleeping support, and operates its own Housing Complaints and Service Improvement function that reports against the Housing Ombudsman's Complaint Handling Code.

The council is recognised as one of the Mayor of London's Good Work Standard employers, citing fair pay, wellbeing and inclusive recruitment practices.

Working there

Housing-related roles range from frontline resettlement and housing options support to senior housing management positions such as complaints and service improvement, which require direct experience working within housing services.
