Job Details

Prospectus are delighted to be partnering with The Skinners' Company to recruit their new 'Almshouse Charity Manager'. The Skinners' Company is one of the 'Great Twelve' livery companies of London; it is a major not-for-profit organisation involved in running schools, sheltered housing and grant programmes for individuals, educational institutions, and a wide range of small organisations throughout the UK. The Almshouse Charity Manager will play a pivotal role for The Skinners' Almshouse Charity, which has provided social housing and support for older people in need for over 460 years.   
   
The Skinners' Almshouse Charity retains the license to operate two London-based housing schemes for older people; one in Hounslow, and one in Palmers Green. The primary focus of this position is to manage the seamless delivery of an estate management contract between the Charity's Board and a national Housing Association, ensuring that both schemes are run efficiently, effectively and ultimately in the interests of its residents. The role will be fundamental in ensuring that both organisations are contract and policy compliant, ensuring that all obligations are fulfilled in a timely and effective way. Accounting to the Charity's Board, the post will also take responsibility for ensuring that KPIs are monitored, evaluated and reported on so as to reflect performance. Although based predominantly at the organisation's Central London location, the role will involve having a physical presence at both schemes, knowing and understanding each resident and ensuring their needs and concerns are clearly communicated back to the Board.   
   
This role represents an exciting opportunity to work for a distinct and established organisation with community at its epicentre. To apply for this role, you must have demonstrable leadership skills, and be confident and competent in developing relationships with a range of stakeholders, working in partnership to achieve shared outcomes. You must have significant experience of working within the public, community or charity sector, and have recent experience of working to a management board, governing body or similar organisation. Estate management and/or contract management experience is desirable (please note, you do not necessarily need experience of running sheltered housing). You must have exceptional communication skills, be commercially aware, and have the ability to work across diverse communities. Ultimately you will be a passionate, personable leader, committed to ensuring the successful delivery of services for vulnerable people.   
   
Please initially apply with a Word Copy of your CV - more information about the role, the organisation and the benefits on offer will be provided to suitable candidates.   
   
First-round interviews to take place week commencing Monday 13th August
