You can work where, when and how you want with our hub, home, roam approach around the Yorkshire region.
And what about us?

Yes, we own and manage nearly 20,000 homes (and counting) across Yorkshire and make it possible for current and future customers to have a place they’re proud to call home, but we’re also all about making a positive difference in people’s lives. We’re transforming our business by investing in people, processes and technology to deliver a consistently great experience for our customers.
What you’ll be doing
- Undertaking handover of properties with the Clerk of Works ensuring all information and certification is available, recorded and meets Yorkshire Housing standards.
- Also, communicating with Clerk of Works and site teams to ensure quality is of a continuously high standard. You’ll keep in contact with developers and internal stakeholders, also undertaking site visits to ensure handover dates for the S106 programme are accurate.
- Using IT systems to complete continuous cash flow forecasting and budget monitoring.
- Assist the delivery of the S106 programme by working with Yorkshire Housing Solicitors to enable completion of the properties. Along with filing audit information to assist with charging and refinancing the S106 properties.

- Your communication skills will be fantastic and you’ll have good IT skills
- Full UK driving license (with ability to travel regularly to our sites across Yorkshire)
- It’d be a bonus if you have previous management experience and used invoicing systems. Also, it’d be even better if you’ve previously worked for a developer or housebuilder!
