Head of Property Operatuins in Ilford
Posted by Niyaa People Ltd
We are looking for a proactive and motivated Head of Property Operations to join a leading Property Operations team. This is an exciting opportunity to play a key role in delivering an efficient, customer-focused void and repair works service across their schemes.
You will be based in the office 5 days a week in Ilford, managing a small team of back office staff and on-site trades!
As the Head of Property Operations , you will be reporting to the Managing Director and be expected to be visable on site and close to the office!
Benefits you’ll receive as the Head of Operations:
- Public sector pension scheme of up to 4%
- Car allowance of £400 per month
- 25 days holiday plus bank holiday
- Life assurance
- Healthcare
- Long service recognition awards
- Hold overall accountability for the performance of the Property Operations department, covering reactive maintenance, voids and property administration.
- Establish and maintain a single operating model across both functions, so that the landlord relationship and the works serving it are managed together rather than in parallel.
- Own the end-to-end void process from notification of vacancy through to the property being presented for Ready-to-Let certification.
- Manage the void programme as a whole, sequencing works, allocating trades, balancing competing demands, rather than treating each turnaround as an isolated job.
- Reduce void turnaround times without reliance on premature completion, and treat first-time certification pass rate as the measure of whether that is being achieved honestly.
- Substantial experience of managing a repairs and maintenance or voids function, in residential property, social housing, temporary accommodation or private sector leasing.
- Demonstrable experience of managing high-volume void turnarounds against time-critical service levels.
- Proven experience of managing external contractors, including performance management and commercial challenge.
- Experience of residential property or tenancy administration, and of the landlord relationship, sufficient to line manage an administration team credibly
