Rate of Pay: £800 per day inclusive of agency on costs, Outside IR35

Hours: Part Time 30 hours

Location: Roway Lane, Oldbury

Start Date: ASAP

Contract type: Temporary

Brief description:

This is a 12 month role but will extend on a 12 week basis up to the end date working 3 to 4 days per week (negotiable), outside of IR35.

Sandwell Council has 28,000 properties in its housing stock, 1,000 of which sit in a PFI. We use Job Manager for repairs reporting and allocations of jobs. However we do not have an asset management system and this needs to be specified, procured and rolled out within the Housing directorate.

We are looking for an experienced housing professional with knowledge of housing systems and excellent project management skills to lead a project team that will deliver a new asset management system as a priority. You will also need to work with Housing Management and corporate colleagues to help procure a new housing management system, ideally through one procurement that enables an integrated system to be sourced.

You will have a track record of procuring and introducing asset management systems in a major stock holding authority or housing association. You will have an in-depth understanding of the current and new requirements of social landlords including building safety and an understanding of the functionality that a system will need to have to enable us to report against all regulatory requirements.

You will be able to work closely with the business to identify and articulate our requirements and to work with a consultant to arrive at a specification within 3-4 months that sets out Sandwell's requirements of the system. While the asset management system is our priority we would ideally like a full specification to be produced that covers housing management with a view to procuring these systems together from one supplier.

Once the system has been procured you will lead the team for 8-9 months to introduce the new system and manage the project through to 'go live' stage.

You will be expected to be on site in our offices at Oldbury, West Midlands, at least 3 days per week.

Please can the agencies send over a CV, 2x up to date references and a copy of Terms and Conditions. You will also need to include your agency on cost details to each submission. Stated rates must be inclusive of all known costs.

No DBS is required for this role.
