At Places for People, we hire people – not numbers. If you like the sound of this role, we'd love to hear from you. Experience matters, but what matters most is someone who lives our People Promises: doing the right thing, bringing energy and pride to their work, valuing community, treating others with respect, and genuinely caring about the places we look after. As the UK's leading Social Enterprise, we're committed to building safe, inclusive and thriving communities for our customers and our colleagues.
More about the role
In this role, you'll be out and about across our neighbourhoods, making sure our buildings and communal areas are safe, compliant and well maintained. You'll carry out regular property and site inspections, completing checks on essential systems such as fire doors, emergency lighting, lifts, fire equipment and automatic doors. You'll keep accurate, real-time records and report any risks or issues quickly to keep our customers protected.
You'll also play an important part in maintaining safe communal spaces—removing unauthorised items in line with Scottish legislation, arranging signage, reporting repairs, supporting contractor access and completing minor housing management tasks linked to works and site upkeep. Some general admin will also form part of your day-to-day role.
More about you
You'll bring experience from a housing or property environment and have a strong understanding of health and safety compliance for registered social landlords. You'll be organised, thorough, confident using IT and comfortable problem-solving on your own. Just as importantly, you'll communicate clearly and professionally with customers, colleagues and contractors, and you'll feel confident working independently while representing Places for People out in our communities.
Benefits
We're a large, diverse and ambitious organisation, which means plenty of opportunity for growth, challenge and development. We also offer a comprehensive benefits package, including:
- Competitive salary with annual review
- Pension with matched contributions up to 7%
- Excellent holiday entitlement – up to 35 days, with the option to buy or sell leave
