Void Pre-Planning Officer
Location: Worcestershire
Salary: £36,463 per annum
Contract Type: Permanent
Closing Date: 31 August 2026
We're looking for an analytical, technically skilled, and forward-thinking Void Pre-Planning Officer, based in Worcestershire, to help transform how we plan, forecast, and manage our void properties.
This is a key role within our Platform Property Care (PPC) team, focused on shifting our voids service from a reactive “keys-received” approach to a proactive, predictive planning model improving turnaround times, cost control, and customer outcomes.
If you're passionate about using data, operational insight, and technical property knowledge to make a real difference, this is an opportunity to shape a new way of working.
What could you be doing?
You'll turn tenancy notifications into sharp, insight-driven pre-void plans that forecast cost, complexity and risk before the keys are received. You'll blend technical know-how with strong data instincts to spot high-risk or high-cost voids early, reviewing repairs history, asset data and compliance information you'll own accurate forecasting, maintain a clear and trusted national pipeline, and keep teams aligned with confident, timely communication. And you won't just support continuous improvement—you'll drive it, supporting development of smarter tools, better data, and a more proactive way of working across our entire voids service.
