Social Housing – New Contract Win

Are you a technically minded Voids Supervisor with a solid background "on the tools"? Due to a major new contract win and a significant increase in workload, we are expanding our team in Ipswich.

We need a Supervisor who can hit the ground running to manage an influx of council housing refurbishments. This is a role for a "hands-on" leader who can ensure high-quality void turnarounds while occasionally supporting the wider reactive repairs team during peak periods.

THE OFFER

Salary: £38,000 per annum

Benefits: Company Van + Fuel Card provided from day one

Location: Ipswich (Covering a Council Housing portfolio)

Sector: Social Housing / Voids & Reactive Maintenance

Contract: Permanent / Full-Time

Security: Long-term career stability following a major new contract award.

THE ROLE

As the Voids Supervisor, you will lead the "Key-to-Key" lifecycle for empty council properties, ensuring they are returned to the client at the highest standard. You will also act as a technical resource for the wider repairs contract.

Key Responsibilities:

Void Management: Survey properties as they become empty, create accurate schedules of works, and oversee refurbishments to the Council’s "Lettable Standard."

Repairs Support: On occasion, provide supervisory support to the reactive repairs contract, assisting with technical triage and the coordination of emergency or complex maintenance tasks.

Technical Leadership: Manage a team of direct labour operatives and subcontractors, using your trade background to provide hands-on guidance and quality control.

Workflow Coordination: Manage strict deadlines to minimise property downtime and maximise rental income for the local authority.

Compliance: Ensure all sites are safe and compliant, monitoring RAMS and conducting regular health and safety inspections.

CANDIDATE REQUIREMENTS

Trades Background: Essential. You must have a background in a core trade (e.g., Carpentry, Plumbing, or Multi-trade) and have significant experience working "on the tools."

Supervisory Experience: Proven track record as a Voids Supervisor, Maintenance Foreman, or similar role within Social Housing or Local Authority contracts.
