Housing Voids Surveyor
We are transforming our services at Woking and are recruiting for several new exciting and challenging roles in our Housing Assets Team. We are seeking motivated, flexible and high caliber candidates to support the delivery of our voids services and to improve our homes whilst ensuring we are able to meet the requirements of the regulatory standards.
This role will work collaboratively with service managers, peers, contractors and customers providing a one team, customer centric approach to service delivery ensuring the Voids Service and lettable standard is delivered on a property-by-property basis.
You will be actively engaged with our main Voids Contractors, who work on the delivery of making void properties safe and secure for incoming tenants.
This role will require you to be a key part of the “key to key” stage of the Void (empty home) process by providing technical guidance, specifications, contract management and quality control in order to meet relevant regulations and consistently achieve the required lettable standard.
The Council offers in return a generous flexi time scheme with the ability to take two flexi days a month, membership of the local government pension scheme, discounted health and leisure membership, plus many more excellent benefits.
You will be required to undertake site/home visits so a full driver’s licence and access to your own vehicle is essential for this role.
DBS Check
Woking Borough Council takes a robust approach to thoroughly checking anyone who has applied to work with vulnerable groups including children. As this job involves contact with vulnerable groups and tenants successful applicants will be required to obtain a Disclosure Certificate from the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS). Assistance will be given by the Council and further details can be found in the job pack.
