We have a fantastic opportunity for the right person to join our friendly and supportive Monmouth Court team as our Independent Living Scheme Manager.
If you have current knowledge of social housing and an understanding of the issues affecting older people, we would love to hear from you!
Monmouth Court provides supported long-term accommodation for older people in 17 one-bedroom bungalows with private courtyard gardens. Our team supports residents to live as independently as possible in their homes. We encourage everyone who lives at Monmouth Court to have a say in how our project is run and to take part in our regular tenant meetings. We offer a warm and friendly community and contact support to help you to maintain your independence.
“I am proud to manage a scheme where we have seen older people able to get their independence and confidence back. Our scheme is much more than just buildings – we’re a big supportive family!”– Current Scheme Manager
The Role
This is a fabulous opportunity for anyone who is passionate about supporting older people to live a happy and fulfilling life. This role offers a new challenge where you can create and embed your own footprint to make a positive difference.
As a Scheme manager you will provide a housing management service to tenants who live independently within the Scheme (17 bungalows), and acting as a coordinator, signposting and liaising with tenants’ families and working in partnership with external agencies to ensure tenant needs are met. You will be responsible for running the scheme as a whole, reporting repairs and completing Health and Safety checks to ensure we consistently deliver a high service at all times. You will manage voids and lettings, ensuring the scheme is maintained and being responsible for tenant engagement and involvement. You will enjoy the company of our tenants and interact with them daily to ensure you and the team are providing the best possible care that you would want for a family member yourself. Please refer to the role profile for a more information.
