We have an exciting opportunity to join the Council's Housing Service as a Repairs Team Leader in the South West, North West and South East Localities.

As a Repairs Team Leader, you will lead a team of operatives responsible for delivering a high-quality repairs service, one that prioritises excellent outcomes and consistently strives to improve tenant satisfaction. We are looking for candidates who are ambitious and committed to improving service delivery and places our tenants at the heart of everything we do. You will be required to ensure that works are carried out to a high standard whilst being compliant with the relative health & safety frameworks. The successful candidate will be confident in their management and leadership experience. We are looking for individuals who can manage and prioritise workloads and resources effectively, are adaptable in their approach, work flexibly and lead with fairness.

You will lead with clear vision, support your team members to perform at their best, and have a passion for building a positive team environment that promotes a collaborative culture to deliver a service our tenants can rely on.

In this role, you will contribute to a service dedicated to excellence, where your leadership will have a meaningful and lasting impact.

Join us in developing a team that takes pride in its work and upholds our core values of respect, integrity and flexibility.

We're committed to creating a workplace culture where all our people feel valued, included and able to be their best at work, and we recognise the benefits that a diverse workforce with different values, beliefs, experience, and backgrounds brings to us as an organisation.

As part of our goal to improve our organisational culture and create a great place to work together for the people of Edinburgh, we want to make sure that we're bringing the best people into our roles, not just in their skills and experience but also in their approach to work.

To help achieve this, we're changing the way we interview and assess candidates by moving from a competency-based interview approach to a behavioural and technical (skills for the job) based approach. This new way of interviewing will allow us to assess how you think and how you would bring Our Behaviours of Respect, Integrity and Flexibility into your ways of working.

Our salary range typically reflects the initial starting salary and annually increases until it reaches the top of the range.

Happy to talk flexible working.
