Property Standards & Compliance Coordinator
Location: Swindon
Salary: £28-34k dependent on skills and experience
Positions: 1 x full-time 40 hours per week
Help us provide safe homes that change lives.
At Derventio Housing Trust, we believe that everyone deserves a safe, secure and well-maintained home from which they can rebuild their lives and move towards independence.
We’re looking for an organised, proactive and customer-focused Property Standards & Compliance Coordinator to join our South-West team.
This is much more than a property role.
Every inspection you complete, every repair you coordinate and every improvement you make helps create safer homes, better living environments and positive outcomes for the people we support.
If you enjoy solving problems, building positive relationships, maintaining high standards and making a genuine difference, we’d love to hear from you.
About the Role
Working across our property portfolio, you will help ensure our homes remain safe, compliant and well maintained.
You’ll coordinate responsive repairs, undertake property inspections, support statutory compliance, monitor contractor performance and maintain accurate property information.
Your work will contribute directly to Derventio Housing Trust’s delivery of the Consumer Standards and our commitment to providing high-quality homes that support people on their pathway to independence.
No two days are the same.
One day you may be inspecting a property, the next coordinating urgent repairs, reviewing contractor performance or identifying opportunities to improve our services.
We’re Looking For Someone Who…
Enjoys solving problems and finding practical solutions.
Has excellent organisational skills and attention to detail.
Builds positive relationships with residents, contractors and colleagues.
Can manage competing priorities calmly and effectively.
Takes pride in maintaining high standards.
Understands the importance of safe, compliant homes.
Enjoys working independently while contributing to a supportive team.
Shares our values of Integrity, Transforming and Proactive.

- Inspect our homes and identify repairs and maintenance needs.

- Monitor contractor performance and quality.

- Maintain accurate property records.
- Help improve property standards across our housing portfolio.
- Contribute to continuous improvement.
- Work collaboratively to deliver excellent services for residents.
What You’ll Bring
You’ll have experience within housing, property, facilities management or maintenance and be comfortable coordinating multiple priorities.
You’ll communicate confidently with residents, contractors and colleagues, use IT systems effectively and take ownership of your work.
An understanding of property compliance, repairs and housing standards would be advantageous.
Most importantly, you’ll demonstrate professionalism, integrity and a commitment to delivering excellent customer service.
Why Join Derventio Housing Trust?
You’ll become part of an organisation that genuinely changes lives.
