While familiarity with residential tenancy is vital for holding a housing officer job, just as, if not more, important for many of those hiring is Community Services knowledge. Often you will need to have a more advanced qualification. One option that could potentially help prepare you is a Diploma of Community Services with a Case Management specialisation. These studies can take 12-24 months to complete depending on your study mode (online, on campus or blended) and whether you study full or part time. This diploma includes a work placement component. A Certificate IV of Community Services can also equip you with the skills and knowledge to pursue housing officer jobs. This pathway can take upwards of 12 months to complete and also includes work placement.
