Job Title: Senior Building Surveyor (Qualified)
Hours: 35 hours (full time)
Location: ISHA, 102 Blackstock Road, Finsbury Park, N4 2DR
Salary: £56,195 per annum
Contract: Permanent
This role is based at our Head Office but there is some flexibility to work in a hybrid way if preferred.
Requirements
Are you a qualified Building Surveyor who cares as much about people as you do about properties? Do you believe that everyone deserves a safe, warm, and well-maintained home? If so, you might be just the person we need. We’re on the lookout for a Senior Building Surveyor who's ready to roll up their sleeves, dive into projects, and a person who enjoys collaborating with colleagues.
This is a fantastic opportunity for a qualitied Surveyor to join our Assets and Repairs Team that makes up one element of the wider Housing and Neighbourhoods directorate. The team is led by an Assets and Repairs Manager with a small team of Repairs and Maintenance Advisers, a Disrepair Coordinator, two Surveyors and a Senior Building Surveyor. Whilst we may be small, we’re perfectly formed.
It’s an interesting and varied role for someone with a passion for keeping homes safe, decent, and future-proof—whether that means identifying structural issues, managing planned maintenance, or working with residents to make sure they feel heard and respected. It’s important to us that you’re someone who keeps residents, and their homes, at the heart of your work.
There’s a lot of positive changes happening at ISHA, and within our team, so now is a great time to join so you can be involved, have influence over those changes, and see the beneficial impact they will have over the next 12 months. There are plenty of opportunities for you to shape this into a role you’ll love.
This role will suit you if you have an eye for detail, a head for problem-solving, and ideally, a sense of humour—because we promise there will be blocked drains, pressing deadlines for report submissions, and occasional out of hours work to deal with resident emergencies. You need to be ready for anything, which means working flexibility to find solutions, alongside facilitating the delivery of excellent repairs, voids and planned works.
We’re not just looking for a surveyor. We’re looking for someone who sees the bigger picture—and wants to be part of it.
Some key responsibilities include:
- Supporting Building Surveyors with problematic jobs to ensure a successful outcome.
- Ownership and responsibility for service-related complaints, disrepair cases or queries from customers ensuring that the customer experience is positive, professional and within set timescales.
- Authorising works and approve payments ensuring suppliers are paid in accordance with terms of contracts. Resolve disputes and queries promptly and ensure ISHA’s interests are always protected.
- Carrying out post-works inspections on a proportion of completed works to assess quality of work, value for money and tenant satisfaction.
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 apply.
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.
