Our Vacancy
We’re looking for a dedicated and proactive Scheme Manager to provide high-quality management for one of our older people’s housing schemes. In this role, you’ll help residents maintain their independence, resolve repairs and maintenance issues, and ensure the safety and security of the scheme. You’ll also foster a welcoming environment that feels like home, not an institution, while building strong relationships with colleagues and external partners to deliver excellent services.
What you’ll do
As a Scheme Manager, you’ll support residents with day-to-day queries, assess their needs, and signpost them to specialist services where required. You’ll manage tenancy sign-ups, maintain accurate case records, and oversee repairs and estate services. You’ll ensure compliance with health and safety and fire safety requirements, supervise contractors, and dynamically assess risks. You’ll also promote community engagement by organising activities that improve wellbeing and encourage use of communal spaces. In addition, you’ll line-manage cleaning or facilities staff and provide cover for other schemes when needed.
What you’ll need
* Experience supporting vulnerable adults, with knowledge of health and social care in a residential setting.
* Strong communication skills and the ability to build professional relationships while maintaining boundaries.
* Experience in housing management, including reporting repairs and managing health and safety.
* Proven ability to deliver excellent customer care and manage multiple priorities under pressure.
* Competence in Microsoft Office and confidence using IT systems.
