Using our charitable resources, we provide experts and partner organisations with the opportunity to trial and test new approaches designed to enhance housing equality and justice. Independently evaluating each of our projects we share our experiences, using this learning to inspire new thinking. Through the replication of what works and the lessons from what doesn’t, we influence changes in policy and practice. In addition, we commission other research identifying and spotlighting new areas of housing injustice.
Commonweal owns a small portfolio of properties that are leased to our project partners – charities, housing and support organisations delivering services to people experiencing housing injustice. This role will be central to ensuring that we fulfil our responsibilities as a property owner and that our partners and managing agents meet their property and compliance obligations.
You will maintain oversight of key property compliance requirements, ensuring certificates, inspections and other documentation are in place and up to date, proactively following up outstanding actions and escalating issues where necessary. Working closely with our managing agents, retained surveyor, contractors and project partners, you will help ensure we have an accurate and up-to-date picture of our properties, including repairs and planned works, void properties and those being prepared for occupation.
Commonweal also periodically buys and sells properties as new projects begin and others come to an end. You will provide administrative coordination for these processes, liaising with estate agents, solicitors and other professional advisers and helping to keep actions and deadlines on track.
Alongside our property portfolio, the Office & Property Compliance Administrator will coordinate and deliver the core administration that underpins Commonweal's work.

You will:
- Manage the compliance administration of our property portfolio, maintaining accurate records of compliance requirements, certificates, inspections, key dates and associated documentation.
- Proactively monitor outstanding property actions, repairs and works, liaising with managing agents, our surveyor, contractors and project partners to obtain updates, follow up overdue actions and escalate concerns where necessary.
- Maintain accurate and up-to-date information on the status of our properties, including voids, outstanding works and readiness for occupation, providing reliable information for operational and Board reporting.
- Provide administrative coordination for property acquisitions and disposals, liaising with estate agents, solicitors and other professional advisers and tracking actions through to completion.
- Provide high-quality governance support to our Board of Trustees, including scheduling meetings, collating agendas and papers, circulating Board packs and taking accurate minutes.
- Oversee the smooth running of our office, including IT and supplier contracts and health & safety administration.
- Act as a first point of contact for general enquiries and provide reliable administrative support to the CEO, DCEO and wider team.
We are looking for someone with:
- Strong organisational and time-management skills, with the ability to manage competing priorities and deadlines.
- Experience of supporting Boards or committees, including minute-taking.
- Experience of property, housing, lettings or compliance administration, or demonstrable experience of managing detailed records, actions and deadlines within another regulated environment.
- Excellent attention to detail and a commitment to maintaining accurate and reliable information.
- A proactive approach – someone who is comfortable following up outstanding actions, chasing information and identifying when something needs attention or escalation.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
- Confidence working with suppliers, contractors and other external organisations.
- A collaborative and professional style and the ability to work effectively as part of a small team.
Previous knowledge of property compliance requirements would be an advantage, but we are equally interested in candidates with strong transferable administrative and coordination skills and the ability to develop their property knowledge.
This is a varied and important role at the heart of Commonweal, helping to ensure that our properties, governance and organisational systems are well managed, accurate and compliant, and that colleagues and Trustees have the reliable information they need.
