Job Description:
Housing & Property Compliance Lead — Living With Hope CIC
Living With Hope CIC is seeking a capable Housing & Property Compliance Lead to support the organisation’s accommodation standards, property readiness and housing compliance.
We provide safe accommodation and structured support for individuals escaping or recovering from domestic abuse. Our mission is to restore stability, dignity and opportunity.
This is not a passive advisory role.
We are looking for someone who understands housing, property standards and compliance, and can help ensure our accommodation is safe, presentable, properly managed and credible to councils, commissioners, funders and referral partners.
The role will involve:
- Supporting property compliance across our accommodation portfolio
- Reviewing housing standards, property readiness and inspection processes
- Helping strengthen fire safety, HMO, maintenance and compliance evidence
- Supporting SEA/Housing Benefit credibility from a property standards perspective
- Helping create a clear property readiness checklist for new accommodation
- Reviewing property risks before they become operational or reputational issues
- Supporting documentation, reports and evidence packs for councils and stakeholders
- Ensuring our housing standards support resident safety, commissioner confidence and long-term growth
We are especially interested in someone with experience in one or more of the following areas:
- Supported accommodation
- HMO management or housing compliance
- Property management or lettings
- Environmental health, housing standards or inspections
- Fire safety, maintenance or facilities management
- Housing Benefit, SEA or local authority accommodation standards
- Property operations within a charity, CIC, housing provider or social enterprise
This position is currently voluntary, but it is designed for someone who wants to help build a credible, high-standard housing model that can scale.
Expected commitment: approximately 1 board meeting per month, plus property compliance input where required.
If you understand housing standards, compliance and the importance of getting accommodation right, we would welcome a conversation.
Non Charity Employer The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.
