Repairs Administrator

Our Vacancy

We’re looking for a Repairs Administrator to join our team and help us deliver an efficient, responsive repairs and maintenance service for our residents. You’ll play an important part in keeping things running smoothly, supporting colleagues across the repairs service and making sure information, works orders and customer updates are accurate and completed on time. It’s a varied role where great organisation, communication and attention to detail can make a real difference to the service our residents receive.

What you will do

You’ll support the day-to-day administration of our repairs service, from allocating works and updating our systems to working with subcontractors, internal teams and residents to help keep repairs progressing. You’ll respond to queries and support complaint handling, maintain accurate records and customer updates, and help the team meet its performance targets. You’ll also arrange meetings, take and distribute minutes, follow up actions and provide additional support to the repairs planning team when required.

What you will need

You’ll have office administration experience, good Microsoft Office skills and a strong ability to organise and manage your own workload. You’ll be a clear and confident communicator with a methodical, accurate approach and the ability to solve problems and work positively with others. Above all, you’ll be approachable, keen to learn and committed to providing a quality service. Knowledge of social housing and health and safety, or previous experience in a customer-facing role, would be an advantage but isn’t essential.

Please note: This is a full time position working 40 hours a week, based in our office in Tunbridge Wells.
