My client is currently recruiting for a Housing Repairs Coordinator, where you will be responsible for managing the day–to–day repairs process, ensuring that customer repair requests are handled efficiently and completed to a high standard. You'll be a vital part of the team, acting as a point of contact for customers, stakeholders, operatives, and contractors, ensuring smooth communication and swift resolution of issues.

The work arrangement is hybrid, but it will be up to the manager to advise when team members are able to work from home. This is necessary to ensure that all staff are fully trained and that business needs are met.

The hours of work are based on a rota set by line managers, as business requirements need to be covered between 8:00 AM and 6:00 PM. Some training will be conducted remotely via Teams, so candidates who require minimal training are preferred.

The Role

Receive and respond to customer and stakeholder enquiries, delivering excellent customer service in line with council policies and procedures.

Accurately raise repair requests and prioritize them based on urgency, ensuring all requests are planned, allocated, and scheduled effectively for completion "right first time."

Proactively monitor the progress of repairs throughout the day, communicating with operatives, surveyors, and customers to ensure jobs are completed on time.

Ensure operatives complete repairs to a satisfactory standard using their mobile devices. Report any issues to trade managers and supervisors for feedback and resolution.

Provide clear and accurate advice to customers, contractors, and colleagues regarding repair enquiries, ensuring all parties have the information they need.

Make outbound contact with customers and stakeholders to gather information and arrange appointments, following up on enquiries as needed.

Work closely with contractors to ensure repair jobs are assigned and completed efficiently while maintaining open communication with all relevant stakeholders.

Assist in the administration and business support work, taking ownership of processes and contributing to ongoing projects to ensure smooth daily operations.

The Ideal Candidate

Strong organizational and time–management skills with an ability to prioritize tasks.

Excellent communication skills, both verbal and written.

A commitment to providing outstanding customer service.

Experience in scheduling, coordinating, and managing repairs or similar operational tasks.

Ability to work collaboratively with a range of internal and external stakeholders.

Proficiency in using technology, including mobile devices and relevant software systems.

A proactive problem–solver who can manage multiple tasks in a fast–paced environment.

Candidates must have the right to work in the UK to be considered for this role
