Are you passionate about communities? Motivated by making a real difference? Ready to lead meaningful change across Ayrshire?
Cunninghame Housing Association is looking for an inspiring Tenant & Community Engagement Manager to drive forward our ambition of being More Than Just a Landlord — strengthening communities, empowering tenants, and creating opportunities that change lives.
About the Role
As our Tenant & Community Engagement Manager, you will take a proactive, visible and influential lead in driving forward our engagement ambitions. You will:
* Lead the development and delivery of our Tenant & Community Engagement Strategy, ensuring tenants' voices shape the services we deliver.
* Design and implement innovative community projects and programmes that enhance wellbeing, opportunity and inclusion.
* Strengthen partnership working across the region — from local authorities to community groups, funders, employability providers and third-sector organisations.
* Work closely with our subsidiary CFRC, identifying new ways of working together to support communities and develop business opportunities.
* Support and guide our Tenant Participation Officer and ensure high‑quality engagement, consultation and participation across the organisation.
* Oversee funded programmes, community benefit initiatives and social value reporting, ensuring high standards of governance and performance.
* Represent CHA at key forums, networks and partnership meetings — positioning the Association as a proactive, community‑focused leader.
* Contribute to strategic priorities as part of CHA's Leadership Team, ensuring our work aligns with the Business Plan and regulatory requirements.
This is an exciting opportunity for someone who wants to leave a lasting mark on the communities we serve.
