Welcome to Housing and Landlord Services Careers
It is currently a very exciting time to be a part of the Housing and Landlord Services team. Bristol is a city with a rapidly growing population and high demand for housing.
Bristol City Council is a vibrant local authority responsible for providing a diverse range of services to the 450,000-strong population of Bristol, as well as people who visit the city.
The council is the largest landlord in the city. Alongside our landlord duties, we manage Bristol's social housing waiting list, regulate the private rented sector, provide home adaptations for vulnerable people and work to prevent homelessness and support those who do find themselves without a roof over their head.
Bristol faces a challenging time, there are problems with deprivation and inequality within our city. The number of people on the housing register is high, with long waiting times for social housing. Recent legislative changes around welfare-reform have created challenges for households struggling to manage housing costs. Our team is working hard to come up with new and innovative solutions to tackle these problems including exploring and implementing a wide range of measures to reduce homelessness and expand the provision of affordable housing in the city.
We are recognised nationally as an authority prepared to innovate and deliver best practice in a number of areas. Our bids for government funding are often effective as we have a track record for delivery and strong partnership working. These are exciting times for our service, as we have ambitions to further modernise our services, to help us to work efficiently and deliver quality services that make a real impact on the quality of life of Bristol's residents.
Having the right people in the right jobs is vital to making sure we achieve our ambitions. Use the navigation bar at the top of the page, to find out more about what our different service areas do and hear from some of our colleagues on what a day in their life is like.
