Trust is a not-for-profit registered social landlord, regulated by the Scottish Housing Regulator, Care Inspectorate and Scottish Charities Regulator (OSCR). We are a national organisation and one of the largest housing, support and care providers in Scotland offering a range of housing and support services across the length and breadth of the country. Trust was established in 1973 and has now evolved and grown to 4000 homes and delivering services to over 4,000 customers.

Our wide range of services - from landlord only - to care and support - are flexible and tailored to the needs of individuals. This allows our customers to live independently with an enhanced quality of life, and their families to have peace of mind.

The organisation and our people are customer focussed, delivering value for money and developing innovative solutions to enhance the customer experience. We are committed through our values to empower and support our people. Our culture is caring, involving and compassionate – but we are also focused on making change happen and delivering results.

We are looking for a new Reactive Repairs & Maintenance Inspector to join our growing Assets & Sustainability Team. The postholder will ensure high-quality reactive repairs and maintenance services ensuring that our customer’s homes are maintained to a high standard and are compliant with contractual, legislative, and regulatory requirements, whilst also providing a 10/10 customer experience.

The post will be part of our Blended Working Model involving home working, with regular visits to Trust housing stock on the Isle of Arran and any other operational requirements. Occasional working from any of our 3 office locations (Glasgow/Edinburgh/Wishaw) may also be required.

The strategy will be guided by our purpose, values and core pillars - financial sustainability, net zero, governance and compliance. Growth, technology, data and responsible use of AI will all help us deliver the strategy.
