This is a busy and varied role, requiring someone who can adapt to a fast-paced working environment while ensuring accuracy.

This role offers ample opportunities for learning and development.

Don't feel you meet every single requirement? Studies have shown that some candidates are less likely to apply to jobs unless they meet every single requirement. At ISHA, we are dedicated to building an inclusive workforce, so if you're excited by this role but your experience doesn't quite align perfectly, we encourage you to apply anyway. You just might be the right candidate for this, or other roles, because of your transferable skills.

About ISHA

We are a small but ambitious housing association at a critical juncture. Our ambition is for the communities we are anchored in and exist to serve, and we have done and achieved much over the past few years. But in these challenging times we know we'll achieve nothing unless we are equally ambitious for own our people.

Our values are at the heart of who we are and everything we do, inspiring our thinking and guiding our actions. We strive to build a more diverse organisation, where everyone feels empowered to bring, and be, their best self to work.

We can't be a brilliant landlord if we don't partner with brilliant colleagues. Could you be one of them and be trusted to make the difference?

Staff Benefits

We'll offer you a generous pension scheme (up to 10% employer matched contributions and a death in service benefit), 29 days annual leave (increasing after five years' service), eye care vouchers, a cycle to work scheme and other great benefits (see attached). We have an evolving wellbeing offer, that is being developed following employee feedback, and we will invest in your professional development with on-going training and career development opportunities.

If this sounds exciting, we want you on our team. Please do apply.

Please note: We can only accept applications from candidates with eligibility to currently work in the UK.

Deadline: 09:00 on 19 August 2024
