ABOUT US
YMCA Cheltenham, founded in 1855, is a registered charity and has become a leading provider of supported housing in in the area, alongside other works including the provision of sports facilities, affordable housing and other charitable activities.

YMCA Cheltenham is an organisation founded on Christian values and, as such, employees may encounter behaviours or vestiges particular to, or representative of, the Christian faith in the work-place. Employees are not required to adhere to the Christian faith or any faith, and no such consideration is taken into account by the organisation when making employment choices or in delivering its services.
ABOUT THE ROLE
The Voids and Repairs Coordinator is a newly formed role in a relatively new Property and Maintenance department. It is an opportunity for a highly skilled co-ordinator with an administrative background to support the Senior Property Manager.
The role will help ensure that the Property and Maintenance Department runs smoothly, and that Voids are managed from start to finish with great communication between all departments, including external contractors and Housekeepers.
You will be part of a small busy team providing day to day support to the organisation.

Alongside that you will assist the Property Senior Manager and Maintenance Team in providing ad hoc project support as and when required, maintaining and providing documents to set deadlines.
You will be expected to exercise initiative and be a self-starter – understanding and identifying where your work can make the greatest impact in achieving the Charity’s aims and objectives.
