About the role

You will be working within the administration team, directly reporting to Senior Administrators. The team will support the service in delivering repairs across multiple sites and trades. You will be responsible for planning and scheduling diaries for a multi-disciplinary trade team who deliver high standard housing repairs and project activities to Housing properties across the City. You will also liaise directly with contractors and trade operatives and undertake general administration duties such as making and receiving telephone calls, printing, collating and filing documents and sending and receiving emails and letters.
You will have excellent IT and customer service skills and an understanding of the needs of our diverse staff and customers and be able to tailor delivery accordingly to the highest standard and most efficient timescales.
The service currently has a considerable backlog of outstanding repairs and you will play a key role in tackling this work, achieving targets and deadlines to realise these goals.
This is an opportunity to develop administration skills within the Repairs and Maintenance industry and play an important role in a team who provide a crucial service for the local community.
In return for your skills and hard work, we offer:
  • A standard working week of 37 hours per week plus 5.5 hours of contracted overtime (Monday – Friday 08.00 – 17.00).
  • A full induction with job shadowing and on-going mentoring and development
  • Paid annual leave
  • Pension scheme
Due to the ongoing impact of COVID-19, we’re reviewing how we deliver services across the organisation. We’re looking into ways that office roles can be filled by a hybrid office and home working pattern.

Additional information

Your starting salary will be pro rata if the above position is term-time only. For part time applicants, where your working week is less than the council’s basic 37 hour week, contracted overtime rated pay will not form part of your working hours. This is because overtime rated pay is payable for hours worked in excess of the council’s basic 37 hour week. Your starting salary will be pro rata based on the basic annual salary elements of pay between £25,119 & £25,545.
