We have a strong approach to governance and service delivery and have some of the best performance in our peer group and are financially sound. We are an organisation that always puts people first, whether that is our tenants or our staff. It truly is an exciting time to become part of an organisation that is continuing to grow and develop and deliver our vision of providing homes, not houses.
We are currently looking to grow and strengthen our team and are now looking to recruit a new post of Head of Assets and Development.
As Head of Assets and Development, you will oversee our planned investment, compliance, and energy efficiency initiatives, ensuring value for money, exceptional quality, and high levels of tenant satisfaction. Leading on compliance for tenant health and safety and all regulatory and legislative requirements, you will manage investment programs, ensure health and safety compliance, and collaborate with stakeholders to develop our approach to achieve zero-carbon targets as required. With a focus on innovation and data-driven decision-making, this role offers the chance to shape our future, maximize asset value, and make a real difference for our tenants and communities.
You will oversee our development activities carried out in partnership with our key stakeholders through our development framework, continuing our strategic role in delivering quality affordable homes in our communities.
This role, as part of the senior management team, will see you work closely with the Director, Head of Corporate Services, soon to be appointed Head of Housing Services, and Senior Housing Officer. You will lead the asset team and work collaboratively with our development consultants on our development framework to deliver our strategic development objectives.
The successful candidate will be educated to degree level or able to demonstrate an equivalent level of educational or professional attainment. The candidate will ensure the key running of the asset management and development functions, delivering on Key Performance Indicators, and vital consultation such as policies and strategies, particularly around our ambitions for delivering Net Zero for our homes.
The successful candidate will provide leadership to the property maintenance team, ensure the day-to-day running of the team, and be instrumental in ensuring robust reporting and performance is maintained and developed for all our key performance indicators and our compliance requirements for tenants’ health and safety.
We offer full EVH terms and conditions of employment to the successful candidate alongside 40 days annual leave, including 15 public holidays. We also offer a flexible hybrid working approach.
Applicants will be subject to a Basic Disclosure Scotland check, the cost of which will be met by Forth Housing Association Ltd.
