New housing officer appointed

A Darlington woman has swapped the wilds of Scotland and returned home to look after the interests of people living in homes owned by one of the UK’s oldest housing associations.

Kirsteen Campbell has been appointed as a Housing Officer with Railway Housing Association, which has its head office in Darlington.

The 39-year-old will cover homes owned by the Association in Shildon, Ferryhill, Bishop Auckland and parts of Darlington.

Kirsteen has returned to her home-town after spending six years working for a housing association in Inverness, Scotland. The mother of two now lives in Gainford, near Darlington.

She said: “Growing up in Darlington I knew about Railway Housing Association because they had homes in the area where I lived and the quality of the houses really stood out, so I am delighted to now be working for them.

“As a Housing Officer my job is to listen to the views of the residents living in our properties and ensure any problems they may have are dealt with quickly and efficiently.

“Railway Housing Association is also keen to involve its residents as much as possible so I will be encouraging local people them to become active in the community.”
