About the Roles

Reporting to the Head of Asset Investment and Programmes, these newly created positions will play a key role in ensuring YMCA St Paul’s Group’s property portfolio is well maintained, compliant, and fit for purpose.

As a Property Surveyor, you will be responsible for carrying out property inspections, managing repair and maintenance programmes, and overseeing a range of capital and planned improvement projects across the Group’s diverse estate.

These roles offer the chance to gain hands‑on experience across a broad range of property types and projects, developing skills and professional exposure not easily found in larger, more segmented organisations.

You will be a proactive, technically skilled surveyor with a strong background in property maintenance, refurbishment, and compliance within the social housing, charity, or public sector. You’ll bring excellent diagnostic, communication, and project management skills, with the ability to balance technical requirements and commercial priorities while maintaining a focus on quality and safety.

Qualifications & Experience

• Proven experience as a Property or Building Surveyor in housing, public sector, or not-for-profit environments
• Strong understanding of building pathology, asset management, and compliance standards
• Experience managing planned and capital works projects
• Recognised qualification in Building Surveying, Construction, or a related discipline (HNC/HND or degree level preferred)
• Membership of RICS or working towards membership (desirable but not essential)
• Excellent stakeholder management and contractor supervision skills

Why Join YMCA St Paul’s Group?

At YMCA St Paul’s Group, you’ll be part of a purpose‑driven organisation that provides vital housing and support to young people and communities across London and the South East.

You’ll join a supportive, collaborative team where your expertise will directly contribute to creating safe, efficient, and sustainable environments for residents and staff. These roles offer genuine scope for professional growth and the satisfaction of seeing the tangible impact of your work every day.
