Neighbourhood Coordinator Based: Scheme office at Gainsborough Court Hours: 34 hours a week Salary: £28512.57 Areas covered: Bristol (Gainsborough Court &amp; Nash Drive), Swindon &amp; Newbury About Us People come to work for Habinteg because they believe in what matters to us. Inclusion drives all that we do, be that the services we offer to tenants, the environments we create or the homes we deliver. One in four people in this country are disabled but most homes are designed to exclude them. We believe in designing homes and creating neighbourhoods that everyone can share and enjoy. We have 3200 homes across the country from Tyneside to Cornwall. We provide expert training and consultancy through our Centre for Accessible Environments (CAE) in-house team.

You will be working as part of a small team managed by the Neighbourhood Manager and will be expected to achieve stretching and ambitious targets. Tenant engagement is key to Habinteg's success, and you will work closely with tenant representatives and tenant groups. At times, you may be asked to travel to sites outside of your normal working area to support the wider team to carry out essential void works/sign-ups. About You You will be committed and enthusiastic, thriving on the challenges of working independently and the responsibility and rewards that brings. You will have some experience and knowledge of housing management in the social housing sector, and will be committed to Habinteg's inclusive housing mission.

You will be flexible and agile in your approach, being able to adapt your approach to different circumstances and service demands.
