Property Assistant

Job Description

Following a restructure of our Operations Teams, we have a new permanent role of Property Assistant available, reporting directly to our Compliance Manager.

In this role you will develop a breadth of experience in relation to the main areas of compliance and you will be the go-to person for system and administration support across our Compliance, Assets and Property Delivery teams. You will build up a solid understanding of the property side of housing associations, but also understand how this links in with the wider work of our association - this role could be an excellent first step into a career in the housing sector.

Your role will involve updating various internal systems and therefore excellent IT skills, including Microsoft and experience of working with databases and online systems is essential. You will become a ‘superuser’ of our H&S / Compliance management system and you will help other staff members and assist in training on its usage as well as being involved in suggesting improvements to compliance administration.

You will need to have a high attention to detail and adopt an organised and methodical approach to processing to ensure deadlines are met and records are kept accurately.

You must have the ability to work effectively both in a team environment and using your own initiative in a fast-paced environment. Whilst predominantly computer based, there will be opportunity to work closely with other Ops teams and departments, and as a smaller organisation, you will have both telephone and face to face interaction with suppliers, contractors and tenants, so excellent communications skills are also a must.

Above all, you must be passionate about working for a smaller community-based housing association that really put the tenants at the heart of everything we do. Equality, diversity and inclusion is paramount, and we expect all of our employees to demonstrate a commitment to this when they come to work for us.
