About You
As a Senior Surveyor, you will bring to the role:
* Knowledge of services, understanding of needs for disabled people and those in housing need.
* Ability to administrate adaptations and Disabled Facilities Grants (DFG), draft designs (using CAD), draft comprehensive building schedules & specifications and issue these to contractors in order to identify and remove physical barriers within the client’s home & built environment.
* Full driving licence.
About The Role
The Health and Housing Service aims to promote the capacity of vulnerable disabled people to live independently, either in their existing homes, through the provision of adaptations, or to facilitate a move to more suitable housing through a priority award for re-housing. You will manage your own caseload, process adaptations in Leeds City Council properties and or DFG applications in private properties. You’ll will be able to assist some of the most vulnerable people in Leeds and get to see the significant difference you and the team have made to the quality of their lives.
As our next Senior Surveyor, you’ll take an instrumental role for the surveying function within the adaptations service. You will contribute to wider service priorities relating to facilitating moves to alternative housing options and minimising delayed hospital discharges. The role is integral to our Health & Housing team to deliver an effective service that generates value for money and helps achieve wider council priorities.
