Voids Supervisor

Voids Supervisor

Location: Kettering, covering Northamptonshire and Cambridge

Salary: £40,000 + company vehicle 

Sector: Social Housing

Workstream: Voids

If you’re already working in social housing voids and you’re used to keeping a lot of moving parts under control, this could be worth a look. I’m working with an established property services contractor looking for an experienced Voids Supervisor to join their team.

This is a dedicated voids role, so you won’t be bouncing between repairs, planned works and everything else.

You’ll be looking after a live programme of around 50 to 60 void properties at different stages, making sure the right trades are in the right place, work is moving, standards are being met and properties are getting handed back on time.

You’ll be covering Northamptonshire and Cambridge, with the office based near Kettering, this isn’t a fully office based role, but there is an expectation that you’ll spend time with the wider voids team as well as being out on site.

What you’ll actually be doing

You’ll be involved from the point a property becomes void right through to completion.

That will include:

Carrying out initial inspections and identifying what work is needed

Producing and reviewing scopes of work

Using Schedule of Rates and SOR codes

Keeping on top of weekly WIP

Monitoring turnaround times and making sure jobs don’t drift

Coordinating multi-trade operatives and subcontractors

Carrying out progress and completion inspections

Checking quality and making sure properties meet the required lettable standard

Picking up any additional works or variations

Managing snagging, recalls and remedial work

Monitoring contractor and operative performance

Working closely with schedulers, planners and the wider voids team

Keeping job records and updates accurate

Liaising with operational management and client contacts when needed

Getting completed properties signed off and ready for handover

What I’m looking for

The main thing is genuine social housing voids experience.

You’ll probably already be working as a:

Voids Supervisor

Trade Supervisor

Maintenance Supervisor

Property Services Supervisor

Multi Trade Supervisor

You’ll need to be comfortable managing several properties at once and keeping track of what is happening across the whole programme.

You should also have:

Previous experience supervising social housing voids

A good understanding of void refurbishment works

Experience managing operatives or subcontractors

Working knowledge of Schedule of Rates / SOR codes

Confidence carrying out property inspections

A good understanding of different trades

Strong organisation and workload management

Full UK driving licence

A trade or multi trade background would be useful, and qualifications such as SSSTS, SMSTS or a CSCS Supervisor card would be helpful, but the priority is somebody who understands voids and knows how to keep a programme moving.

What’s on offer

£40,000 basic salary

Company Vehicle 

Permanent position

Dedicated voids workstream

Established social housing contractor

Mix of site, office and operational work

If you’re currently managing social housing voids and you’re based around Northampton, Kettering or the surrounding area, I’d be interested in speaking with you.
