Job Details

Who are Accent?

We own almost 20,000 houses across the North, East and South of the country and they are homes to over 35,000 of our customers.

We’re not just a housing association, we actually exist to improve lives, providing people with high quality homes, affordably. Whatever their housing need, whether family, single, older or more vulnerable – our customers always come first. They are always at the very heart of our business, and we demonstrate this through our values.

We recognise to achieve this, we cannot do it without our employees, and we encourage employees to bring their authentic selves to work. We’re inclusive and diverse across all teams within Accent so we would welcome applications from all backgrounds.

You will take a lead role for the region for managing the planned works programme.  We want our people and our customers to be proud of the homes we provide and you have a key part to play in this.

We’ll provide you with the equipment and software that you’ll need for the purpose of your role however it will be your responsibility to have an appropriate space to work from as well as a suitable broadband connection/provider.

Should you wish to work occasionally from any of our regional offices, you may do so on a hot desk basis which will need to be arranged via our online booking system

 

Salary

We offer a competitive salary which will be discussed upon application. In addition to this, the post will receive a car allowance of £1,250 per annum.  

 

What will you get from us?

In addition to a competitive salary and agile working, we also have a focus on employees’ development. We support both professional and personal development, ensuring everyone has a development plan and provide access to a wide range of internal and external learning resources.

You’ll also receive:

  • 28 days paid holiday (pro-rata) per year rising by 1 day per year up to a maximum of one working week
