We are a dynamic and passionate social enterprise committed to making a positive impact in the Leeds community. Our purpose is to help our clients turn their empty houses into homes. We are looking for a motivated and experienced Project Coordinator to join our small, dedicated team and help us achieve our goals.
You’ll find no two days the same in this role. Working in close partnership with a small group of key stakeholders, you’ll be coordinating new enquiries through mail outs and calls and completing house visits. You’ll liaise closely with Leeds City Council and others to assess owners’ needs and find the best solution to bring their properties back into use. You’ll be responsible for producing high-quality reports and ensuring our systems remain accurate and up to date, whilst telling our story to the community using the power of our social media platforms.
You’ll be an excellent team player along with the ability to independently manage your own caseload. Excellent written and verbal communication skills are a must, together with strong research and analytical skills. We’re a small team, so problem solving and use of initiative is essential, along with a pragmatic, “can-do” attitude towards helping our owners. Your empathy, positivity, and compassion will be an asset as we work to achieve our social aims.
In return, you’ll receive a competitive salary and benefits package including generous holidays, a pension scheme, and a company health care plan. And of course, you’ll have the opportunity to make a meaningful impact in the community from day one.
Please note, the role requires independent travel across Leeds, so a full driving license and access to a car is essential (mileage paid).
