Bield is one of the largest providers of housing and support services to older people in Scotland. We value kindness above all, and at Bield, you will have a unique opportunity to have a positive impact. We strongly believe that older people should be free to make their own choices and be able to live as independently as possible. If you share our values, we’d love for you to join our team and help us on our journey.
Tenant Engagement and Participation Lead role will be responsible for leading tenant engagement, participation and tenancy sustainment activities, contributing to achieving strategic objectives and improving performance against the KPIs for the team. The successful candidate will ensure best practice and compliance with regulatory requirements are embedded in our practice, and work collaboratively with internal and external stakeholders, growing and developing new links with partners where appropriate.
Key areas of responsibility include:
The Candidate
The ideal candidate will have a good understanding of barriers to facing older people in a housing setting and a demonstrable experience of supporting and developing tenant participation, engagement and an understanding of different approaches that can be applied.

Ideally we would like to see candidates with CIH Level 4 qualification and a membership of the Chartered Institute of Housing, however it is most important that you have a working knowledge and understanding of operating a housing management system and understanding of tenant participation best practice.
