Job Introduction ROLE OF THE JOBThe Voids and Minor works team undertake all necessary repairs and upgrades to our empty properties to get them ready for Reletting.

Sometimes things go wrong, and we receive reports of disrepair. This is a legal process, and we need to ensure these cases are dealt with effectively and correctly in accordance with processes and within stipulated timescales. There are also unforeseen, larger scale jobs that might arise from a such events as a fire, a car crash, storm, damage, or flood. These major works are too extensive or complicated to be classed as responsive repair and to urgent to be included in a future capital works program. We also have our EICR program, an MOT for the electrics in a home which is a requirement to be completed every 5 years.

You will be crucial in administrating all of the above - whether its making appointments for surveyors, inputting the works they have identified on the system, raising purchase orders to contractors or checking invoices against the works raised and quotations received.Whilst we are continuously trying to update our manual systems online, there are still a lot of paper reports and certificates that need filing and uploading onto the system and a lot of data entry required in this role.

The role is based in our Office in Blyth Civic Centre. There is some scope for flexibility and home working. However, core hours between 9:30am and 2:30pm would be required to be office based, primarily for the ease of exchanging information between the team.
