Housing Officer - Joseph Rowntree Housing Trust (October 1983 to October 2001)
I was originally employed as a Junior Secretary (age 18) working for a Housing
Association but after a few years I was given the opportunity to learn the "housing" side of things and I became a Housing Officer. I left this job when I was no longer enjoying it. This
was mainly due to the increasing number of problems, neighbour disputes and anti-social
behaviour that I was having to deal with on a regular basis. I decided that I needed a
change of career and went back to secretarial work which I had always really enjoyed.
My job as a Housing Officer involved:-
• carrying out all aspects of estate management including re-letting empty properties,
visiting tenants in their homes, dealing with neighbour disputes and dealing with all
aspects of rent arrears recovery including presenting cases in Court
