Your role will be to build strong relationships with residents and leaseholders, ensuring they are informed, engaged, and supported through any housing-related matters, including repairs, refurbishments, and community initiatives. It’s important to us that you’re someone who keeps residents, and their homes, at the heart of your work.
This role will suit you if you have an eye for detail, a head for problem-solving, and ideally, a sense of humour — because that always goes a long way when we’re having a hard day, which is inevitable.
Some key responsibilities include:
- Talking with residents and leaseholders, addressing queries, concerns, and feedback with empathy and professionalism.
- Communicate clearly and effectively about ongoing works, projects, and changes affecting residents.
- Work closely with contractors, and Housing and Neighbourhood colleagues to ensure minimal disruption to residents’ daily lives.
- Attend resident engagement activities, ensuring their voices are heard and valued.
- Advocate for residents' needs, helping to shape our services with their best interests in mind.
Don’t feel you meet every single requirement? Studies have shown that some candidates are less likely to apply to jobs unless they meet every single requirement. At ISHA, we are dedicated to building an inclusive workforce, so if you’re excited by this role but your experience doesn’t quite align perfectly, we encourage you to apply anyway. You just might be the right candidate for this, or other roles, because of your transferable skills.
About ISHA
We are a small but ambitious housing association at a critical juncture. Our ambition is for the communities we are anchored in and exist to serve, and we have done and achieved much over the past few years. But in these challenging times we know we’ll achieve nothing unless we are equally ambitious for own our people.
Our values are at the heart of who we are and everything we do, inspiring our thinking and guiding our actions. We strive to build a more diverse organisation, where everyone feels empowered to bring, and be, their best self to work.
We can’t be a brilliant landlord if we don’t partner with brilliant colleagues. Could you be one of them and be trusted to make the difference?
If this sounds exciting, we want you on our team. Please do submit an application.
Staff Benefits
We’ll offer you a generous pension scheme (up to 10% employer matched contributions and a death in service benefit), 29 days annual leave (increasing after five years’ service), eye care vouchers, a cycle to work scheme and other great benefits (see attached). We have an evolving wellbeing offer, that is being developed following employee feedback, and we will invest in your professional development with on-going training and career development opportunities.
Inclusion and Diversity
We want ISHA to be a great place to work and to ensure that our communities are represented across our workforce. A vital part of this is ensuring we are a truly inclusive organisation that encourages diversity in all respects, including diversity of thinking. We particularly welcome applications from Black, Asian and those of Other Ethnicities, LGBTQ+, disabled and neurodiverse communities to make a real difference to our residents so that passionate commitment to customers, respect for everyone, pride in Team ISHA and trusted to make the difference remains at the heart of everything we do.
This role is based at our Head Office but there is some flexibility to work in a hybrid way if preferred.
