Pertemps are recruiting for an experienced Temporary Lettings Officer in the Central London area.
You will need to have worked in a similar role within a Local Authority Housing Department.

As a Lettings Officer, you will be responsible for managing the entire lettings process – from the point a tenant gives notice to the successful sign-up of the new resident. This is a key role in reducing void turnaround times, minimizing rent loss, and ensuring new tenants are welcomed into safe, well-maintained homes.
Your responsibilities will include:

• Managing all housing management phases of the voids and lettings process.

• Working closely with the Allocations Team, Voids Team, and contractors to achieve turnaround targets.

• Conducting pre-inspections, accompanied viewings, and tenancy sign-ups (in-person and virtual). Providing information on tenancy rights and responsibilities, property condition standards, and the allocations process.

• Offering a customer-focused, “estate agency” style approach to viewings, promoting the benefits of each property.

• Ensuring accurate record keeping and reporting of lettings activity.

• Supporting residents with advice on moving, tenancy obligations, and general housing queries. Attending evictions and arranging follow-up actions as required.

• Providing excellent customer service and responding to enquiries within agreed timeframes.
