The Role

Are you passionate about property management and people? Do you want to see your work create real, lasting change in the lives of others? If so, this might be the role for you.

As a Housing Officer with Vinnies Housing, you’ll manage a small, focused portfolio that allows you to really connect with tenants and support long-term tenancy sustainment. You’ll receive full administrative support, so your time and energy go into what matters most — engaging with tenants, maintaining properties, and delivering compassionate, values-driven housing services.

You’ll work closely with the state-wide housing team, local service providers, and the St Vincent de Paul Society Queensland, all while being backed by a supportive and collaborative work environment. Teamwork is key here — we’re all about helping each other help our communities.

What you’ll do:

• Deliver day-to-day tenancy and property management with a strong focus on tenant engagement and education
• Support tenants to sustain their housing and build positive pathways forward
• Collaborate with internal teams and external partners to achieve strong housing outcomes
• Maintain tenancy and property compliance in line with relevant legislation and organisational policies

This is a Permanent, Full-time (38 hours per week) position, onsite at our South Brisbane premises during business hours.

What we’re looking for:

• Relevant qualifications or demonstrated experience in tenancy management, community housing, or related fields
• A people-first approach to tenancy management, delivered with compassion and respect
• Strong skills in Microsoft Office (particularly Word, Outlook, and Excel)
• Excellent communication, time management, and attention to detail
• A team player mindset with a commitment to continuous improvement and resilience
• An understanding of and alignment with the mission and values of the St Vincent de Paul Society Queensland

Why join our team:

• Full admin support so you can focus on clients, not paperwork
• Small, manageable portfolio = more impact, less stress
• Supportive, values-based team environment
• A meaningful opportunity to combine property management with social impact
