Who we are

Selwood Housing Group is a not-for-profit housing association committed to providing affordable local homes for our customers. We have nearly 7,000 homes for affordable rent and shared ownership in Wiltshire, Somerset and Bath and North-East Somerset. We employ over 300 staff from our offices in Trowbridge and Melksham.

The role

We are seeking a driven and experienced Supervisor to lead our brand-new, dedicated bathroom installation team. You’ll own the initial recruitment of this team, with further hiring next year to meet projected demands. From providing onsite and operational direction, to contributing to strategic and hiring decisions, you’ll have the opportunity to drive and influence the project from day one.

We’re looking for someone who understands the trade, with hands-on bathroom fitting experience a big plus. However, just as important is your ability to motivate, manage, and support a team, ensuring each member is performing at their best and has the tools they need to succeed.

You’ll have the flexibility to manage your own workload, with the opportunity to work from home when you’re not onsite or attending meetings at the office.

Whether you’re a tradesperson ready to step up, or an experienced supervisor already, this is an excellent opportunity to flex both your technical and leadership skills.

What we are looking for

• Trade experience, preferably in bathroom installation and maintenance
• Confident managing and supervising onsite operatives and contractors
• Experience monitoring progress and carrying out pre and post inspections of work
• Knowledge Health & Safety policy and industry best practise
• Experienced in using business systems to monitor and achieve high performance standards measured against KPI’s

Social Housing experience would be a big bonus, as you will be interacting with our tenants. However, most importantly we are looking for someone with great communication who is able to promote strong relationships,  both within their team and externally.

What we offer

Alongside an excellent salary, our benefits also include:

• 30 holiday plus bank holidays
• Company vehicle and fuel card
• 2 paid gifted days; one for your birthday and one over Christmas
• Buy/sell up to 1 week’s holiday
• Life assurance
• Flexible working
• Competitive pension (you pay 4%, we pay 9%)
• Cycle to work scheme

At Selwood, we strive to respect the diversity of our staff. We care deeply about inclusivity and encourage candidates from all backgrounds, demographics, and identities to apply. We are a Disability Confident employer and will do our very best to provide any adjustments, access and equipment you feel you may need throughout the interview process, and during your employment with us.

We’re keen to build a supportive and rewarding environment, free from discrimination, that works for everyone.
