About Haringey
Haringey is a fantastic place to live and work – the world in one borough. A place brimming with creativity, personality, radicalism, and community. It is a place where we stand up for each other. A place that is proudly distinctive. We’ll be celebrating all this and more as the “rebel borough” when we are the 2027 London Borough of Culture.
Our history champions change-makers and everyday rebels; revelling in our differences, battling discrimination, championing equality, and doing things our own way. Haringey’s people are a huge asset, with knowledge, expertise, and passion. Our staff members embody our organisational values: Caring, Creative, Courageous, Collaborative and Community-focused. These values keep us looking forward, ambitious for the future, and continuously striving to do our very best for all of our residents.
About The Role
As a Carpentry Team Manager, you will lead the delivery of responsive carpentry repairs across the Council’s housing stock, ensuring work is completed safely, efficiently and to a high standard. You’ll manage a large, mobile team of skilled carpentry operatives and work closely with contractors to meet service level agreements and landlord obligations.
Using your technical carpentry expertise, you will oversee complex repairs, provide professional guidance to operatives, and ensure quality, compliance and right first time outcomes. You’ll play a key role in driving service improvements, monitoring performance, and managing change as part of an evolving repairs service.
The role involves balancing internal and external resources, overseeing scheduling systems, controlling costs and ensuring excellent value for money, while keeping the customer experience at the heart of everything you do.
