About Camden
Camden is changing on the inside to make life better for everyone. Our residents and communities are at the heart of everything we do. We’re home to the most important conversations happening today and we’re making radical social change a reality, so that nobody gets left behind. Here’s where you can help decide a better future for us all.
What You’ll Be Doing
This role provides vital administrative and coordination support across Camden’s Property Services, including Damp & Mould, Legal Disrepair, Voids and Major Works. You will help ensure that repairs, inspections, follow-on works and planned programmes are delivered efficiently, in line with regulatory requirements, and with a strong focus on resident experience.
You will coordinate activities across the end-to-end process, supporting the progression of works from initial inspection through to completion and aftercare where required. This includes raising purchase orders, processing and reconciling invoices, tracking payments, and maintaining accurate and auditable records across multiple workstreams.
Working closely with surveyors, contractors, operatives, resident liaison officers and legal colleagues, you will support the day-to-day delivery of services by managing documentation, updating systems, monitoring progress and escalating risks or delays.
A key part of the role involves supporting residents. You will communicate upcoming works, arrange appointments, respond to enquiries and provide clear, compassionate updates, particularly for residents affected by disrepair issues or major works. You will also support follow-up and aftercare activity to ensure issues are resolved and any emerging concerns are identified early
Your work will contribute to improved turnaround times, strong financial management, regulatory compliance (including requirements such as Awaab’s Law where applicable), and a positive, consistent customer experience. The role is designed to be flexible, enabling you to work across service areas and provide cover where needed.
