Housing Association Recruitment

• Surveyors: responsive repairs, planned works, disrepair, damp and mould, fire risk (FRA), stock condition, project and DDA (disabled adaptations) surveyors.
• Repairs and maintenance: repairs managers, clerks of works and supervisors.
• Asset management: asset managers and stock data roles.
• Building safety and compliance: building safety managers, fire safety managers and compliance managers.
• Housing: housing officers and managers, income officers and managers, and resident liaison officers.
• Senior appointments: heads of and directors of property, repairs, asset management and housing.

Job titles in housing associations hide very different work. A responsive repairs surveyor is not a disrepair surveyor, and an asset manager in social housing does a different job from one in commercial property. Building safety has a specific meaning in residential buildings following the Building Safety Act. We brief on the work itself, so the people we put forward can do it from the first week.

Awaab’s Law began applying to social landlords in England in October 2025, setting legal timeframes for investigating and fixing damp and mould hazards. Many associations have added interim damp and mould and disrepair surveyors to clear backlogs while permanent teams are built up. We are recruiters, not lawyers, so take advice on your obligations; what we can do is find surveyors who have done this work in occupied social housing.

We supply interim specialists for leavers, surges and programmes, and recruit permanent staff from officers to directors. Many associations engage interim staff through a managed service. We supply into managed services for selected end clients, including Matrix, Pertemps, Adecco and Comensura, and work directly where your procurement rules allow.

How quickly can you supply an interim surveyor?

It depends on the specialism and your onboarding. Because we stay in touch with interim surveyors throughout their assignments, we often know who is finishing soon. A clear brief and a decision-maker who can sign off make the biggest difference.

Can you recruit several surveyors for one programme?

Yes. Stock condition and planned works programmes often need several surveyors starting together and working to the same standard, and we recruit for exactly that.

Do you recruit housing and income roles as well as property roles?

Yes. Alongside surveying and asset management, we recruit housing officers and managers, income officers and managers, and resident liaison officers.
