ROLE OVERVIEW

CHI is seeking to employ a full-time, permanent OMC Coordinator within the Asset Management & Property Services (AMPS) Division, to coordinate and oversee CHI’s interests in Owners’ Management Companies (OMCs) across its national housing portfolio.

The role will act as a central point of contact between CHI, OMCs, managing agents and internal colleagues, supporting effective financial oversight, property management, governance and resolution of outstanding issues.

The OMC Coordinator will maintain an accurate national OMC register, coordinate service charge review, monitor significant maintenance and compliance matters and provide management reporting. The role requires independent judgement and specialist oversight, without direct people-management responsibilities.

This is a full-time permanent role based on a 35-hour week, Monday to Friday, although some evening and weekend working may be required. The role has a contracted office base, but our way of working means that hybrid-working, being a mix of office-based working and working from home and other locations, is normal.

Reporting & Financial Management

• Coordinate the review and processing of annual service charge demands, resolving queries and disputes.
• Review OMC budgets, accounts, levies and expenditure to identify risks and value-for-money opportunities.
• Monitor financial commitments, cost variances and budget impacts to support forecasting and planning.
• Prepare management reports on OMC financial performance, risks and key issues.

Asset Maintenance & Compliance

• Liaise with managing agents and internal teams on maintenance, shared services and outstanding works.
• Monitor maintenance programmes, inspections and compliance requirements, escalating risks where necessary.
• Coordinate defects, remedial works, fire safety matters and asset improvement projects.

Governance, Compliance & Management

• Support OMC governance and compliance with relevant legislation and regulatory requirements.
• Review OMC insurance, financial and governance documentation, escalating specialist matters as required.
• Maintain OMC records, action trackers and central documentation systems.

Other

• Knowledge of residential property management, OMCs and shared-building arrangements.
• Experience working with managing agents, external contractors and multiple stakeholders.
• Ability to analyse service charges, budgets, accounts and other financial information.
• Experience preparing reports, registers, action trackers and governance records.
• Full clean Class B driving licence (or equivalent) and willingness to travel nationally.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office and relevant property or management information systems.

Desirable Requirements:

• Experience working within an Approved Housing Body (AHB), social housing provider or residential property organisation.
• Knowledge of the Multi-Unit Developments Act 2011 and OMC governance requirements.
