What you'll do

If you’re enthusiastic about enabling older people to stay independent and have experience of day-to-day management of buildings and schemes, join us as a Scheme Manager in our outstanding rated Independent Living Service. You’ll be supporting residents to maintain their tenancies including assisting with low level anti-social behaviour problems, queries about repairs and rent and helping new tenants settle in.

You’ll support social activities for residents, deliver support plans and work with other professionals to ensure older residents remain independent. You’ll also manage all the health & safety compliance within the scheme, including building security and fire checks and inspections of communal areas, so that residents are secure and safe.

  • You may have worked in supporting housing or housing related support services and be able to evidence your knowledge through this experience.
  • You’ll be a great communicator, with the ability to form relationships with a wide range of people, from residents to other agencies to generate effective solutions to problems. You’ll put residents at the heart of what you do and be focused on delivering excellent service with a ‘can do approach’.

In this fast paced, varied role you’ll be able to effectively prioritise and manage your time, including being able to regularly travel between sites. We’ll ensure you have a lone working device as well as tools you’ll need to work within our safe operating procedures in response to Covid-19.
