About Outward
For 50 years, Outward has been providing high-quality support and care services to vulnerable people across London, predominantly in North East London. Established by families seeking alternatives to institutional care, we’ve grown into a respected provider of person-centred support for adults with learning disabilities, autism, mental health needs, and complex needs. We support over 1,000 people across nine boroughs, guided by our core values: engage, enable, and empower.
About the Role
Outward’s Older People’s services include a number of self-contained flats used by the London Borough of Hackney as interim accommodation. These homes provide short-term housing for older residents who can no longer remain in their previous accommodation but are yet to be offered a permanent home that meets their changing needs.
We are seeking a motivated, compassionate, and organised Interim Accommodation Officer to join our team. You will be responsible for providing a housing management service that ensures residents are safe, comfortable, and well-supported throughout their stay, and that they are well-prepared when it’s time to move on.

- Coordinating with care providers, families, and other stakeholders to meet residents’ individual needs
This is a varied role that requires excellent interpersonal and organisational skills, a flexible approach to managing day-to-day responsibilities, and a genuine commitment to supporting vulnerable people.
If you’re looking for a new challenge and want to bring fresh ideas, energy, and dedication to a role that supports older people to feel safe and in control, we’d love to hear from you.
