ABOUT UNDER ONE ROOF

Under One Roof is Scotland’s only charity dedicated to providing free and impartial information to the more than half a million tenement flat owners, and housing professionals, on issues related to tenement maintenance, common repair management, and retrofit.

The charity annually organises more than 60 free online and in-person events for owner-occupiers and landlords throughout Scotland on a variety of issues including how to set-up an owners’ association, the best way to manage building repair and retrofit projects, and how to address damp and mould.

Under One Roof also provides training for property managers, housing officers, and other housing professionals, and conducts research and advocates for legislative change to better help owners address building disrepair and improve energy efficiency.

VISION OF UNDER ONE ROOF

Thriving tenement communities

MISSION OF UNDER ONE ROOF

We empower flat owners and property professionals to improve the condition and sustainability of tenement buildings in Scotland through education and advocacy.

THE ROLE

Under One Roof is looking for someone from a housing, third sector, or similar background whose skills complement the existing Education and Training Officer, Communication and Engagement Officer, and Chief Executive in expanding the organisation’s impact with tenement flat owners and the wider housing sector.

The successful candidate will receive training and support to become one of Scotland’s few experts on tenement repair management, maintenance, and retrofit. This expertise will primarily be used to inform owner-occupiers, landlords, and other housing professionals in three ways:

· arranging and presenting webinars and in-person events throughout Scotland;

· answering enquiries submitted via our “Ask a Tenement Expert” website submission form;

· leading training sessions for housing professionals.

You will make a real difference in the lives of tenement owners, and the wider Scottish public, through your educational efforts encouraging tenement maintenance and related work, such as housing’s crucial role in addressing the climate emergency.

The level of stakeholder engagement and public contact associated with this role will appeal to a candidate who enjoys meeting people from all backgrounds, and building networks within Scotland’s housing and retrofit sector.

The successful candidate will also have the opportunity to assist with activities not traditionally associated with education and training roles, such as policy and research.

Given the home-based/remote nature of the position, it is essential for any candidate seeking the role to be self-motivated and enthusiastic about improving tenement repair management and maintenance in Scotland.

The successful candidate will be offered the opportunity to work for an organisation that provides excellent pension benefits compared to the rest of the third-sector, gain experience outside their existing skillset to support their future career goals, and contribute ideas to help shape the direction of this small but influential organisation.

Candidates with family arrangements that require flexible working hours are encouraged to apply.
