Vacancy Description

It is a very exciting time to join the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead with our service going through many changes and enhancements including being awarded 490k from MHCLG to deliver a comprehensive Rough Sleeper Pathway.

We are focused on continuing to improve our housing services, including implementing an on-line customer focused housing register which you will be responsible for administering and monitoring and we are developing a private rented sector offer.
