Job description

Job Description

Property Maintenance/Repairs Coordinator required for a rolling contract supporting a local Housing Association based in Edinburgh. This role may progress into a permanent assignment; however, this is yet to be confirmed.

You will join an existing asset team supporting the wider housing functions within the association. By helping meet the needs of clients and contractors, you will act as the main point of contact and the face of the organization. This means you will be both customer-facing and dealing with contractors, trades, and maintenance staff. Strong communication and IT skills are essential.

This role requires a high level of administrative and customer service skills. A background in housing is essential, alongside some form of factoring experience. Candidates from a housing officer background would be considered. Ideally, this experience would be from social housing or similar. Any qualification specific to factoring, such as the diploma, would be a bonus but is not essential. Strong customer service and problem-solving skills are required to navigate some of the complexities associated with this role.

This position offers a competitive salary package and flexible/hybrid working options.
