BHA is a small neighbourhood housing association based in Islington. We are a small team and believe that every single role is important and will make a difference. We are looking for an estate officer who will make a vital contribution to the lives of our residents and wellbeing of our community.
We play a vital role in managing homes and delivering essential services in the community and are looking for an exceptional person who is able to share our values, be ambitious for BHA, drive up performance and meet the challenges of the current environment.
We are looking for an Income Assistant to join our customer focussed team. This post is a varied role working with residents not only to ensure rent payments are made promptly but supporting tenants where necessary.
A key part of the role is signposting tenants for welfare benefit and debt advice to ensure our residents have all the money advice and support to succeed in their tenancy.
You should be a good communicator with compassion and an understanding of the challenges that our residents may face.

Board recruitment
With a legacy of over 50 years, we are a well-regarded landlord determined to make an impact in the wider community and have a passionate belief in the delivery of social capital.
With a strong commitment to sustainability and zero carbon, we are keen to attract passionate individuals who can help shape our sector-leading approach on this issue.
However, we also seek wider skills such as finance and technology, coupled with an insight to the housing environment across the London region. You may be an experienced leader, or this may be your first board position, but your passion for providing first-class services to residents will also be an important offer.
In return BHA can offer a rewarding and unique opportunity to make a real contribution to our future and a satisfying, meaningful role in the social housing sector.
The closing date is Friday 22nd October 2021, with interviews taking on Thursday 11th November 2021.
