We are looking for an experienced and service‑focused Stock Condition Manager to embed the transition between external and internal stock condition surveys, formulate planned programmes, set out investment plans and inform the Asset Management Strategy and HRA Business Plan.

You will develop a stock performance appraisal rating using a range of financial, technical and social measures to confirm core properties for investment and identify non‑performing and risk stock for alternative action, conducting option appraisals to determine best outcomes. You will also contribute to meeting Service Area Plan targets and support the Council’s Corporate Strategy and Objectives.
