Job Details

We are recruiting a Voids Administrator to join our Asset Management Team at Yorkshire Housing.

What you’ll be doing?

You’ll be providing administration support for the Repairs Team in the management of voids, using various systems to ensure that the void management systems are up to date.

You’ll ultimately be co-ordinating the transfer of information both with Yorkshire Housing and externally. Producing and maintaining handover packs with all relevant information. 

You’ll be liaising directly with contractors, colleagues, utility companies and internal departments to ensure all works are correctly ordered and keys available to commence works.

So you don’t need to take  a day off to do that parent child reading class  or take your pet to the vets or doing both! But talk it over with your manager, to make sure it fits in around what you need to do and meet business needs.

We also provide a fantastic reward package to suit everyone –a variety of amazing discounts via PerkBox, a great Healthcare cash plan called Health Shied and a contributory pension scheme where we will match your contributions up to 9%!

The finer print

If you are applying for this role internally you must inform your current line manager.
