Currently working for third charity in a housing environment, with the operational emphasis on void clearance, repairs/maintenance issues and financial management, whilst providing practical yet empathetic assistance to enable people with problems to manage their own tenancies.With knowledge gained from years of print/publishing management, coupled with organisational skills absorbed through running operations at large or small concerns, my forté has been to problem-solve, innovate and bring structure to existing systems, making them work more efficiently, effectively and easily as possible. Have utilised publishing skills to create document templates and forms in Word, Excel and Publisher to handle reporting, recording and instructional materials for management of systems around repairs, voids, property checks, etc. - some of which are now being adopted on a national level. These also include "how-to" instructional guides for identifying operational pathways, all of which are geared towards ensuring clarity for ease of use and timesaving through simplification of processes.Working on compliance and contract management, using a combination of in-house systems and self-created formwork, I retain an oversight of all renewals - advising landlords when those they are responsible for are due for renewal, whilst handling the ones we maintain.In the absence of in-house contractors, have built, developed and consolidated a group of external companies and self-employed tradesmen to effectively carry out necessary works to properties - keeping costs in check whilst ensuring health and safety standards are prioritised - for all repairs, maintenance and compliance requirements. Void turnarounds of rooms and flats are managed with minimum loss of income, generally being ready to re-let within 1-2 weeks. Experienced in complete renovations prior to handback to landlords - identifying works required, liaising with contractors, scheduling operations to be carried out in the correct order to manageable time limits, carrying out post-works inspections and final handover viewings and sign-offs.Equally comfortable liaising with service users, landlords, contractors, local authorities and other referring agencies, including probation services, prisons, care organisations, etc.Most of who I am and what I can do has evolved through working with a basic knowledge of proven methodologies, but adapting them to suit each situation to provide workable solutions.
