This is an exciting and rewarding time to join Stroud District Council as a Tenant Engagement Officer. Resident engagement has never been more important, and this role is central to ensuring our tenants are at the heart of everything we do. You’ll help us shape services that reflect tenant priorities, deliver value for money, and continuously improve the landlord experience.
About the role
As a Tenant Engagement Officer, you’ll work closely with residents, partners, and colleagues across the organisation to deliver a high-quality, inclusive engagement service. You will:
- Lead and support tenant scrutiny activity
- Strengthen tenant voice and influence in decision-making
- Help improve tenant satisfaction and perception of services
- Develop and deliver meaningful engagement opportunities
- Ensure services are shaped around customer feedback and local need
You’ll be joining a forward-thinking and supportive team that works collaboratively to make a real difference in our communities. This is a varied and impactful role where your contribution will be highly valued.
About you
We’re looking for someone passionate about engaging with communities and delivering excellent customer service. You will:
- Have experience in a customer-facing or community-focused role
- Be confident working with residents and community groups
- Demonstrate strong communication and engagement skills
- Be proactive, motivated, and solution-focused
- Be able to use your own initiative to solve problems and drive improvements
Experience of resident engagement or housing services would be an advantage, but your enthusiasm and commitment to making a difference are just as important.
This role may require a DBS.
