Empowering to live rewarding and happy lives. That’s when it hits home

We have fabulous opportunity for you to join our awesome team as a Housing Manager. Your role in a nutshell, is to make our customers happy! It’s not just about providing our customers with a home; it’s about building relationships with them. This means that when it comes to those situations that are a bit difficult or tricky (which do happen from time to time) that we make it easier to deal with.

Yes, we collect rent, chase arrears, fill void properties, manage estates and deal with anti-social behaviour. But it’s so much more than that. It’s also about working closely with our colleagues to make sure that where our customers need support, that we help them to live their best lives!

About you
You will be responsible for carrying out generic Housing Management activities including arrears, void management, estate management, customer involvement, income management, lettings and other related tasks. You will continuously improve services to meet challenging targets and obtain best value for customers, working in partnership with stakeholders, external partners and colleagues. You will also signpost our customers to our varied access channels within the contact centre, improving their access to our range of services. It’s important to us that you have experience in carrying out anti-social behaviour investigations, a forward-thinking professional with excellent problem-solving skills.

We’re looking for someone who fully recognises the importance of multi-agency working and work in partnership with our key agencies including Police Scotland, Dundee City Council Anti-Social Behaviour Team, Scottish Fire and Rescue, Environmental Health, Social Work, Registered Social and Private Landlords. As well as recognising when to refer people who are involved in antisocial behaviour to supporting agencies.

As this is a community based role, you’ll need to travel around to spend time with your customers. You could do this role using public transport, or if you drive and have access to a vehicle that would also be amazing! (we pay your expenses to cover this use!)

You’ll work across Dundee and have the flexibility of working either from home or in one of our local offices. The great news is that we’ll give you the kit to make that easy!

Working hours
Our team’s support is critical to our customers. This means you’ll usually work 37.5 hours per week Monday - Friday. The good news is that you will have a degree of flexibility, as it’s the team’s unwritten rule that you attend the important appointments in life. So, whether it’s your child’s school play, your partner’s graduation, or to get your new fridge delivered we’ll work with you to be flexible. Our focus is on getting the job done, not your working hours!
