Supported Project Co-ordinator

Govanhill Housing Association provides a comprehensive range of services focused on the needs of tenants and owner occupiers in the Govanhill and Merrylee communities. We carry out acquisition and improvement of tenemental stock as well as delivering a new build programme.

We work closely with our subsidiary company, Govanhill Community Development Trust, whose community development and regeneration services complement our own role as a social landlord

We wish to recruit to a new role within the Association in which the post holder will manage and develop our work with our supported projects and HMO properties. We wish to work closely with these projects and others as the role develops to ensure that all Health and Safety and tenancy requirements are in place for each project and that both our responsibilities as landlord and their responsibilities as tenant are met and processes developed as required. This role will cover all areas of health and safety including maintenance, tenancy matters and other legal and good practice requirements. Applicants need to have considerable knowledge and experience in dealing with supported projects preferably in a landlord role and also be experienced in health and safety within an RSL setting.

The role will also involve a complete review of all leases and the successful candidate will need to be comfortable consulting in these areas with support providers and other partners such as Glasgow City Council as well as seeking legal advice as required.

It is intended that the post holder will also develop detailed knowledge of the requirements for each project and deliver training on a suite of processes and good practice to staff in other departments to enable us to provide effective services to this area of business.

As the Govanhill area has a diverse community, the ability to speak a community language is also desirable.

The post is subject to a PVG check.
