We have a fantastic opportunity for a Sheltered Housing Warden Manager to oversee our scheme of 69 sheltered housing flats in the centre of Colchester.

Safe and secure homes can make people’s lives.

Previous experience of working with older people is essential and previous experience in housing is preferred.

You will have a friendly and happy demeanour, enjoy speaking with tenants and support them by signposting information on other services, as well as arranging outings, social activities and entertainment for them.

You will be leading an excellent team who support our tenants to maintain their independence, enabling them to stay in their own homes for as long as possible.

This role is part time (up to 30 hours per week) but flexibility is essential due to activities that may occur in the evening or at weekends.

Salary is £27,000 per annum (based on 30 hours per week).
