Fixed Term
Hours per Week:

Grade:

Closing Date:

At Places for People, we hire People, not numbers! So, if you like the sound of one of our jobs, please apply you could be just who we are looking for! Of course, experience and track record are important, but we are more interested in hiring someone that embodies our People Promises. That is someone that does the right thing, is enthusiastic and motivated to grow, believes in Community spirit, is respectful and enjoys their work. As the UK's leading Social Enterprise, we are dedicated to creating inclusive and thriving Communities for both our Customers and Employees.

More about your role

You will coordinate and plan work for the internal workforce, including planned tasks, investments, compliance events, and responsive repairs such as gas and empty homes. This can be a challenging role that requires strong organisation and communication skills. You will help improve customer service by ensuring appointments are met and customers are kept informed at every stage. It is important to keep all systems accurate and up to date with real time information. You may provide training and support where needed, and you will deliver timely forecasts to the Field Opera Managers when repair volumes exceed available resources, taking prompt action as necessary. Managing repair requests within agreed timescales and handling data in line with GDPR are key parts of your role. Building effective working relationships with colleagues and customers, including operatives and supervisors, is essential.

This role involves a mix of office attendance and remote working, providing the benefits of both environments.

Essential Criteria

Previous experience in a customer service or customer facing role.
Prior experience using a scheduling database.
Experience with managing multiple activities across both occupied and empty domestic properties, ensuring timely completion and adherence to schedules.

Preferred Criteria

Experience in property maintenance, repairs, or social housing environments.

More about you

You will have excellent communication skills and be confident using our work scheduling database to optimise the agile operative workforce and manage subcontractor relationships. Strong IT skills and the ability to build positive relationships are essential. You will have experience planning and organising multiple activities at both occupied and empty domestic properties. A high level of customer focus is important, ensuring you consistently meet and exceed diverse customer needs while embracing inclusion and aligning with our People Promises. Awareness of work activities and timescales to allocate resources effectively is preferred.

PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A FIXED TERM ROLE UNTIL 31.01.27

Benefits
We are a large diverse and ambitious business, which will give you all the challenge you could wish for.
We know that there's always more we can do to make you smile, that's why we offer a comprehensive benefits package with each role, yours will include:

Competitive salary, with a salary review yearly
Pension with matched contributions up to 7%
Excellent holiday package – 35 days annual leave (including bank holidays) with the option to buy or sell leave
Cashback plan for healthcare costs – up to £500 saving per year
A bonus scheme for all colleagues at 2%
Training and development
Extra perks including huge discounts and offers from shops, cinemas and much more

Armed Forces - We are proud to support the Armed Forces Covenant. Places for People will guarantee an interview for any candidate who is serving or has formerly served in the Armed Forces, as a reservist, armed forces veteran (including the wounded, injured and sick), cadet instructor and military spouse/partner and who meets the essential criteria for the vacancy.

Disability Confident - We are proud to be a member of the Disability Confident scheme certified as Level 2 Disability Confident Employer. This helps us to successfully employ and retain people with disabilities and health conditions. Disabled applicants who meet the essential criteria for a vacancy will be guaranteed an interview. The Equality Act 2010 (Disability Discrimination Act 1995 for NI) defines a disabled person as someone who has a physical or mental impairment that has sa substantial and long-term negative effect on their ability to do daily activities.

Neurodivergent – Neurodiverse individuals have highly valuable skills, and we recognise that a traditional interview process sometimes works against them and doesn’t allow them to self-advocate. Neurodiverse applicants who meet the criteria for a vacancy will be guaranteed an interview.
