An exciting opportunity has arisen for a highly motivated and experienced individual to join the Housing Service based within the Property Services Team.
We are passionate about giving our residents the best possible homes and our team the best and most flexible careers. Our culture of hybrid working means that our staff enjoy an exceptional work-life balance, which can be demonstrated through the council being the first local authority to trial a 4-day week.
We are seeking to recruit a HHSRS Surveyor as part of the Operations team to support the Operations Manager. To monitor and manage HHSRS cases and proactively meet the legislative requirements along with disrepair claims.
An ability to communicate clearly, work in a team but take responsibility for prioritising your own workload is essential. As well as possessing technical knowledge and experience of contract management you will need to be people-centred, a team player, well-organised and share our commitment to providing excellent services for our range of customers.
From January 2023 until March 2025 the Council will be taking part in a four-day working week trial. A four-day week is when full-time staff work one less day per week (four days instead of five), but still get paid the same salary. It is not the same as compressed hours, which is working the traditional 37-hour week over four long days. A four-day week for a full-time employee at the Council will consist of 32 hours. For part time staff, the amount of hours reduced would be calculated via a pro-rata reduction. A helpful way of explaining this arrangement is that staff will need to get 100% of their work done, in 80% of the time, for 100% of their salary. The purpose of this trial is to better support the health and wellbeing of our colleagues, while still delivering an excellent service to our residents. For more information please visit our website.
Closing Date: 9am 17 November 2024
