Your new company

An established Housing Association in the West of Scotland is looking to appoint an experienced Housing Manager to lead the operational delivery of high-quality housing management services. This is a key leadership position, working closely with the Director-level team to ensure services remain customer-focused, compliant, and responsive to the needs of tenants and communities. The successful candidate will also lead the organisation's approach to tenant participation and engagement, ensuring tenants help influence service delivery.

  • Ensure services comply with relevant legislation, regulatory requirements, and the Scottish Social Housing Charter.
  • Lead the delivery of the tenant participation and engagement strategy.
  • Promote a culture of excellent customer service shaped by tenant feedback and consultation.
  • Support organisational change and help the wider team embrace new ways of working.
  • Monitor and report on budgets, KPIs, performance, social value, and operational risks.
  • Work collaboratively with community organisations, regulators, auditors, and other external partners.
  • Build effective stakeholder relationships, including those connected to nominations, leases, and management agreements.
  • Contribute to the Operational Management Team and provide reports to the Board and relevant committees.
  • Oversee the accurate and timely collection of ARC data and support the implementation of audit actions.
  • Ensure equality, diversity, and inclusion are embedded across the service and organisational culture.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
