- Systems and Record Management: Maintaining accurate and up-to-date records across property systems. Ensuring all compliance tracking, maintenance scheduling, and documentation is current and accessible.
- Maintenance Programming: Coordinating planned and reactive maintenance across the portfolio. Booking maintenance jobs, managing contractor relationships, and ensuring properties are kept to a high standard.
- Process Improvement: Contributing to the development of consistent, scalable ways of working across the housing function as the portfolio continues to grow.
Essential Requirements:
- Experience working within a housing association, Registered Provider, or compliance-focused housing or property role.
- A solid understanding of social housing or supported housing environments, including landlord obligations, tenancy management, and lease structures.
- Strong working knowledge of statutory compliance requirements including fire safety, gas, electrical, and water hygiene.
- Experience using housing or property management systems.
- Highly organised with strong attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple priorities across a dispersed portfolio.
- Strong communication skills with the ability to work effectively across landlords, RPs, and internal operational teams.

- Experience within a managing agent model.
- Exposure to compliance audits or regulatory inspections.
- Experience supporting property onboarding or service mobilisation.
- Understanding of exempt rents and the specialist supported housing funding framework.
