JOB DESCRIPTION

We are currently seeking an Independent Living Advisor to join our team in Frome, Somerset on a permanent basis. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who is committed to enhancing the independence, wellbeing, and quality of life of older people.

28 hours a week working Monday – Friday. Hours to be discussed at interview.

Reporting to the Independent Living Manager, you will play a key role in delivering effective housing management across our sheltered schemes. This will include building positive relationships with residents, supporting prospective tenants through viewings and the moving-in process, and ensuring residents fully understand their tenancy agreements, rights, and responsibilities.

You will also provide guidance to residents around accessing financial support, including housing-related benefits, and signpost or refer them to relevant services such as assistive technology, adaptations, or additional support where required. As part of your day-to-day duties, you will carry out scheme inspections, oversee health and safety compliance, and monitor contractor performance to ensure services are delivered to a high standard.

While your main base will be in Frome, flexibility to travel to other nearby schemes will be required, therefore a full UK driving licence and access to your own vehicle is essential. Mileage expenses are paid at 45p per mile for business travel.

What we are looking for

Experience supporting older people and promoting independent living
A strong commitment to equality, diversity, and inclusion
Confident communication skills, including the ability to explain complex information clearly
Good administrative and numeracy skills
Ability to work both independently and collaboratively
Strong written and verbal communication skills
Competency in Microsoft Office applications
Full UK driving licence and access to a car

If you are interested in making a positive difference and would like to apply, please submit your CV and review the full role profile for further details.

This role will be subject to a basic DBS check, funded by the organisation.
