Alongside this, you will work closely with Trust colleagues and customers to plan and manage a range of capital improvement projects across our sites, from inception to completion, ensuring our buildings and facilities remain welcoming, up‑to‑date and fit for purpose. You will bring strong project management skills, a collaborative approach and a belief in the power of partnership working, and high‑quality spaces to create lasting positive change for our community.

• Proven ability to work effectively with external partners, such as housing associations, contractors, consultants and agencies, to deliver projects on time and on budget.
• Strong project management skills, including planning, reporting, risk management, budget control, and monitoring delivery against objectives.
• Experience of design development and construction or refurbishment works, ensuring spaces are practical, inclusive and fit for purpose.
• Confidence in coordinating and contributing to contractor procurement, tender processes and the management of professional teams (e.g. architects, surveyors, QS, CDM advisors).
• A collaborative and consultative approach, with the ability to work closely with colleagues, customers, community members and Trustees.
• A clear understanding of health and safety responsibilities and statutory requirements relating to buildings and capital projects.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to explain complex projects clearly to a range of audiences.
• A practical, solutions‑focused mindset, able to anticipate challenges and respond calmly and resourcefully.
• Strong organisational skills, with attention to detail and the ability to balance multiple priorities within a small, community‑focused organisation.
• Commitment to equality, inclusion and creating environments that support wellbeing and reduce inequalities.
• A values‑led approach, with a genuine interest in community‑led development and the positive impact that well‑designed spaces can have on people’s lives.
