Rent Advisor 

Aylesbury – Hybrid Working  

Full Time  

Fixed Term Contract - 31-Dec-2027 

We’re excited to announce that we’re recruiting for a fantastic Rent Advisor to join our friendly team. If you thrive in a bustling environment, love keeping things organised, and enjoy interacting with people, this role could be the perfect fit for you!  

About the role: 

This is a rewarding opportunity to support residents at critical moments, helping them sustain their tenancies while protecting vital income for essential services. As a Rent Advisor, you will manage rent accounts, working directly with residents to resolve arrears, agree repayment plans and provide practical, empathetic support tailored to individual circumstances.  

You will take ownership of your cases from end to end, including preparing legal action, attending court and evictions, and visiting residents in their homes when needed. This is a varied, people-focused role where strong judgement, resilience and communication skills are key to achieving the right outcomes.  

Alongside your core duties, there will be an expectation to provide cover for other rent accounts at short notice, and to take part in a weekly office rota managing incoming and outgoing post. 

This role also involves attending properties, court hearings and working with external services, offering a hands-on and visible presence within the community. It’s an ideal opportunity for someone who is organised, adaptable and motivated by making a genuine impact in people’s lives. 

About you... 

We are looking for someone who brings strong communication skills, sound judgement and a proactive approach to problem-solving. You will be organised, adaptable and comfortable managing a varied workload in a fast-paced environment. Just as importantly, you will have the empathy and determination needed to support residents while balancing the commercial realities of rent recovery. 

We’re a friendly bunch who value collaboration and creativity, and we believe that a positive, supportive culture is key to our success. If you have previous relevant experience and a genuine passion for helping others, we want to hear from you!
