Are you looking for a new challenge?


We are looking for a motivated and experienced professional, to join us as our new
Repairs Team Leader on a
6 month FTC.

This is a fantastic opportunity to lead from the front managing a team of front-line surveyors whilst they deliver the survey specifications of repairs in our homes.

About Yorkshire Housing


Here at Yorkshire Housing our customers are at the heart of what we do - we are not just your typical housing provider In a nutshell we own and manage nearly 20,000 homes (and counting) across Yorkshire and our mission is to make it possible for our tenants to have a place they're proud to call home.


We have huge growth plans and the maintenance of our homes is a huge part of that - the team play a key role in providing quality and efficient services across the region.

You will drive the team to meet financial targets and deliver data to different parts of the business in relation to asset management, building relationships and influencing a variety of teams along the way, particularly the building repairs team.

Want to know more about your next challenge?

Your Role


Your main responsibilities will include
ensuring Yorkshire Housing receives quality and value for money through effective contract management of repairs works.

You will have the autonomy when it comes to spend - monitoring the repairs budget, controlling spend to ensure that overspend does not occur and report to managers and the Area Committee on performance and spend.


Whilst showing initiative, you will manage the day to day work of your team ensuring quality control, contract management, contractor performance and attend Regional Quality Meetings with contractors.


You will also provide technical advice to non-technical staff and customers as well as maintaining a close working relationship with other Yorkshire Housing departments to ensure a joined up approach to customer repairs expectations are delivered.
