Liaison Officer

Homeless Action Resource Project (HARP) • Full-time • Southend-On-Sea, Essex, GB • 3w ago

PRS Liaison Worker

Are you passionate about supporting people out of homelessness?

We are looking for people who bring a range of skills to the organisation to help us meet our mission.

HARP is Southend-on-Sea’s leading homelessness charity and every year we work with around 1,000 local people to help them overcome or avoid homelessness.

It is an exciting time to be joining HARP. The organisation has undergone significant change and growth over the past twelve months and we have ambitious plans for the future which will continue to transform lives.

About The Role

This is a unique chance to shape a brand-new approach to landlord engagement, tenancy sustainment and personalised support—helping people take the next step in their housing journey.

As a PRS Liaison Worker, you will:

Build and maintain strong relationships with PRS landlords, SEAL and housing partners
Promote HARP’s Landlord Assurance Package to increase access to safe, affordable homes
Match residents to suitable properties using clear tenancy-readiness criteria
Support residents throughout viewings, move-in, and the early stages of their tenancy
Provide up to 12 months of light-touch tenancy sustainment support
Step in early to resolve issues—helping prevent tenancy breakdown
Work closely with multi-agency partners including Southend City Council and Greater Change
Collect data and insights to support evaluation of this innovative pilot

You will play a key part in reducing homelessness, improving housing outcomes and strengthening relationships within Southend’s private rented sector.

We’re looking for someone who is:

Great at building relationships and engaging confidently with landlords
Experienced in housing, lettings, or homelessness support (or similar people-focused roles)
Skilled at problem solving, negotiating, and responding quickly to emerging issues
Knowledgeable about tenancy rights, affordability, and barriers facing people moving on from homelessness
Compassionate, professional, and committed to trauma-informed, person-centred practice
Organised, resilient, and able to manage a varied workload across multiple properties

If you’re passionate about improving housing outcomes and want to help shape a new way of working, we’d love to hear from you.
