Hours: 37

Contract: Permanent

For Homes First’s Property Services team, health and safety compliance is right at the top of our agenda. It is our first priority within the Asset Management Strategy.  We also provide managing agent services to nearly 900 shared owners and leaseholders across both local authority areas.

The following management position has arisen following the decision to merge the current Leasehold and Compliance and M&E management teams.  The new team will oversee both the provision of housing estate management services, including those relating to health and safety compliance and the effective management of our obligations to leaseholders and the service charges levied to them.

This role has been created in light of new and emerging legislation, to supplement the delivery of our health and safety inspection obligations. You will have an excellent knowledge of the current, new, and emerging legislation and regulatory regimes relating the health and safety in residential dwellings and their environs. In addition, you will have demonstrable contract design and management skills.

You will manage the Councils’ outsourced caretaking and cleaning contract. You will be required to work closely with colleagues across the department.
