You will provide a visible and approachable presence across the schemes, ensuring residents receive a high-quality housing management service. You will carry out regular wellbeing checks, respond appropriately to concerns and work closely with colleagues and external partners to promote resident engagement and community involvement.

This is not a care role, but it does require a compassionate and professional approach, with the ability to maintain appropriate boundaries while supporting residents.

• Organise activities, events and initiatives that encourage community engagement.
• Develop relationships with local organisations and community partners.
• Work collaboratively with colleagues to ensure schemes are safe, well-managed and welcoming.
• Provide occasional cover at other schemes for holidays and sickness.
• Travel between schemes as required.

About You:

• Previous experience in housing, scheme manager or a similar resident-facing role.
• A good understanding of housing management and tenancy-related responsibilities.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
• A genuine commitment to resident wellbeing and delivering a positive customer experience.
• The confidence to organise activities and develop community partnerships.
• Strong organisational skills and the ability to work independently across multiple locations.
• A full driving licence and access to a vehicle, as travel between schemes and other locations may be required.
• The ability and willingness to complete an enhanced DBS check.

What We Offer:

• £29,139.77 per annum
• 35-hour working week
• 12-month fixed-term maternity cover contract
