Role Overview: To manage the turnaround of void (empty) properties ensuring they are re-let efficiently, cost-effectively, and to a high standard. The role involves carrying out inspections, raising repairs, ordering furniture and equipment, tracking and chasing progress and post inspecting completed works to minimise void periods and maximise rental income. The post will cover a large geographical area so extensive travel will be required.

Key Responsibilities:

• Responsible for void management in a designated large geographical patch, specifically from when notification that a property is going to be void to making the property ready to let.
• Carry out pre and actual void inspections to identify repairs and works required, and order any replacement furniture, furnishings and equipment. Carry out a further pre-let inspection to ensure property is ready for re-letting to a high standard.
• Track and chase progress on all void works and ensure properties are ready for re-letting within target timescales.
• Provide regular updates and reports to management on void performance.
• Focus on any delays in completion of works, problem solving with Nacro operational teams, contractors, Nacro’s leasing team, landlords and other registered providers to resolve any issues delaying the completion of void works.

• Strong organisational and time management skills.
• The ability to work on your own initiative.
• Ability to work collaboratively across teams and with external contractors.
• IT proficiency (e.g., housing management systems, Microsoft Office).
• There will be extensive travel in this role so a valid UK driving licence and a car available and willingness to travel to the location of properties within a designated region (and at times to cover neighbouring regions) is required.

Your duties may vary from time to time within the broad remit of your role and grade. You are required to undertake any such reasonable and appropriate duties.
