Job description

You will liaise with sellers and buyers, oversee the legal and administrative processes for each transaction and manage the funding applications from making initial contact with the Local Authorities to submitting all necessary documentation to Welsh Government. The role involves maintaining accurate records, ensuring compliance and supporting wider strategic programmes such as the stock rebalancing programme. You will also be the point of contact for funding queries and you will play a key role in ensuring smooth and timely property transfers.

We formed a Group company in 2011, to include Cambria Maintenance Ltd. We employ over 450 staff at WWH and over 190 staff in Cambria, making us a major Welsh employer. As an organisation we adopt a systems thinking approach to the way we manage and deliver our services across the Group; it underpins the way in which we operate.

In return for your hard work, commitment and innovation, you will enjoy an environment focused on more than just competitive pay. You'll enjoy:

• Salary £35,543 - £39,341 per annum.
• Choice of Defined Contribution or Defined Benefit pension, both including 3x death in service life insurance cover.
• 25 days annual leave, increasing to 30 days with service, the ability to buy and sell up to 5 days (pro rata), as well as time off for volunteering, health screening and more.
• 9 Bank Holidays per annum, including an extra day at Christmas.
• Opportunities to develop and grow.
• Regular feedback, training and support from your manager and team.
• Comprehensive support in case of sickness with a generous sick pay scheme, critical illness cover and support through an employee assistance and counselling service and a cash plan benefit.
