Scheme Manager – Be the Heart of a Vibrant Community

Are you someone who lights up a room, builds strong relationships, and genuinely enjoys supporting older people to live independently and confidently? If you’re personable, passionate, and ready to make a real difference—this could be the perfect role for you.

We’re looking for a Scheme Manager to join our team full-time (35 hours per week), working across our Darwin Court scheme. You’ll be the friendly face residents know and trust, helping to keep their homes safe, their wellbeing supported, and their voices heard.

• Meet with internal or external partners to connect residents with specialist support.

What makes this role special:

You’ll be at the heart of the community—building relationships, solving problems, and making sure residents feel safe, supported, and empowered. You’ll work closely with residents to help them manage their homes and maintain their independence, while also improving Peabody’s services based on what matters most to them.

This is a hands-on role, so you’ll need to be on site five days a week and have access to a vehicle to get around when needed.

• Has experience supporting vulnerable adults.
• Has worked in housing and understands the importance of good record keeping.
• Knows how to spot and respond to safeguarding concerns.
• Is a driver with access to a vehicle and appropriate insurance.

• Life assurance at 4x your salary
• Up to 10% pension contribution
