Homes NSW is an Agency of the Department of Communities and Justice (DCJ). Our vision is for NSW to be a place where everyone has access to safe and secure housing, and where experiences of homelessness are rare, brief, and non-recurring.
We lead work to deliver more quality social housing to our 262,000 tenants across NSW, empowering our tenants to live fulfilling lives and achieve their potential in inclusive communities with a focus on breaking, rather than managing disadvantage.
We strive for excellence in service delivery and most importantly, Homes NSW puts people at the heart - including our staff. Working for us means you are joining a team where your expertise and skills will be valued.
The role of the Property Services team is to deliver comprehensive property services to the regions and oversee the delivery of maintenance services such as scoping, compliance inspections and work order management.

Furthermore, you'll play a pivotal role in reporting emerging issues to management and providing recommendations to continuously improve asset program delivery and minimise impacts on Waste Management.
Overall, your role is integral to ensuring the sustainability and efficiency of Waste Management practices within Housing Portfolio-managed properties. Ultimately, this role offers a rewarding opportunity to make a tangible impact in NSW social housing.
