We have an exciting opportunity available as a Reactive Maintenance and Adaptions Team Leader to support our assets, care and housing teams. Based in our Edinburgh Head Office, our innovative approach allows our teams to work from home and we are currently supporting this transition.

We are looking for a new and dynamic member of our management team who can deliver an innovative, high quality reactive repairs and void management service to our customers.

We seek a highly skilled and enthusiastic professional with experience of working in a reactive maintenance capacity in the housing sector. Qualified to minimum of HNC level in a relevant discipline, you will have demonstrable experience of managing a team and the ability to deliver high quality services to meet our customer need and expectation.

You will work collaboratively with the existing team to deliver a tailored and highly effective service for our customers. A proven track record in delivering a customer-focussed approach through effective quality control of contractor performance is, therefore, required.

The successful candidate will have highly developed financial control and budget management skills and experience. As a People Manager, you will enjoy engaging with and managing a small dedicated team who deliver a key service to our customers and you’ll be at the frontline of helping the team fulfil their potential through coaching, personal development plans and team meetings.

You will have a flair for working in partnership with our dispersed housing and care teams to identify and lead on service development that delivers value and quality for our customers across all of Blackwood’s regions.

Note to interested applicants

In accordance with the new immigration rules, employers must hold a licence of sponsorship to recruit all overseas candidates who do not have the right to work in the UK. It is with regret that this role does not meet the current suitability requirements set by the UKVI to enable sponsorship of migrant workers. Therefore, we cannot progress applications from candidates who require sponsorship to work in the UK.
