Hertfordshire

We are working with a local authority housing provider to recruit an experienced Damp & Mould / Disrepair Surveyor to support their HRA housing stock, delivering a responsive, tenant-focused service in line with Awaab's Law. This role sits firmly within responsive repairs and tenancy management, rather than asset management or capital projects, and will involve regular site visits, tenant engagement, inspections, and close liaison with contractors, housing management, and legal teams.

Responsibilities

• Undertake damp and mould surveys across HRA housing stock and complete detailed reports in line with Awaab's Law, issuing copies to tenants as required
• Issue, monitor, and manage remedial works through to completion for all damp and mould cases
• Carry out post‑inspections within statutory timeframes to confirm issues have been fully resolved
• Where issues persist, undertake further surveys to identify additional required works
• Complete disrepair inspections, including pre‑start meetings and post‑inspections, ensuring works are delivered in line with SCOTT schedules
• Provide timely updates to legal representatives throughout all stages of disrepair works to ensure litigation compliance
• Inspect and manage larger responsive repair works, including:
  • Specifying required works
  • Issuing instructions to partnering contractors
  • Monitoring progress and undertaking post‑inspections
  • Communicating updates clearly to residents
• Identify and report HHSRS failings, ensuring corrective actions are completed by relevant contractors or partners
• Work closely with Housing Management teams to support tenant sustainability, ensuring appropriate support is offered—particularly in relation to damp, mould, and Awaab's Law compliance

Qualifications

• Proven experience within a responsive repairs or neighbourhood housing role
• Experience of establishing, improving, and working within property and lease management processes
• Professional qualification experience within a property‑related role (general practice or corporate property)
• Extensive experience of landlord and tenant matters
• Strong report‑writing skills, with experience producing reports for Senior management, Committees, Legal teams and wider stakeholders
• Confident communicator, comfortable liaising with tenants, contractors, housing officers, and legal representatives
• Organised and methodical, with the ability to manage multiple cases and statutory deadlines effectively

Able to work onsite and across neighbourhoods — this is not a remote role

Important role context

• This is a responsive repairs-focused position
• The role is neighbourhood and tenancy based
• It is not asset management or project‑led
• Regular site presence and tenant interaction are essential
