Who are we?

Moat is one of the top 30 housing associations in the UK with 20,000 homes spread across south east London, Kent, Essex and Sussex and we continue to develop new homes at an impressive rate too – last year we delivered 664 and we are aiming for another 3,000 by 2020. Our ambition is simple - to bring an end to housing need.

Housing associations are facing a period of change unprecedented in recent times. This gives rise to a number of significant challenges in terms of sustaining rental income, supporting residents through welfare reform and striving to maximise the delivery of new homes. We must also protect existing residents and homes; plus our social purpose – this is a delicate and challenging balancing act.

Who are we looking for?

You will have expertise in retirement housing management, a sound understanding of the obligations of the statutory authorities and challenge them when needed. You’ll able to demonstrate this from the outset that your knowledge is up to date and comprehensive.

Importantly you will be a people person, who understands the needs of our older and vulnerable tenants. You’ll act as a role model, showing the professionalism we expect, but you’ll also recognise that work should be fun, and your personality should reflect this with the steps you take to motivate your team. Your strong interpersonal skills will ensure excellent relationships with other colleagues around the business and beyond, working effectively with our managing agents and local authority partners. You recognise that customer service is all about getting the basics right, and this requires a team effort to achieve it.

Innovation, dynamism and creativity are all important attributes. We’re undergoing a significant period of transformation, and you’ll be driving it. Coming up with new ways to shape and deliver our service and ensuring that this is implemented effectively. You’ll also have ideas about how we can tailor our services to meet the needs of customers affected by ongoing welfare reforms.

This is a fast paced role, you’re therefore tenacious, hard-working, and cope well under pressure. Working with vulnerable and older people is exciting and deeply rewarding, for you this isn’t a job, it’s a career.

In return for your hard work, we will reward you with:

Salary up to £31,433 per annum
Car allowance of £1,921 per annum
Generous annual leave entitlement with the flexibility to buy and sell more
Pension scheme and life insurance
Training and development including accredited management courses, further education sponsorship, professional subscriptions, leaderships development programmes and culture of internal development
Health and wellbeing including an employee assistance programme and a selection of optional initiatives
