Use your experience to "make a difference" with a high performing organisation in the non-profit sector that genuinely values the employee experience.

BHC Creating Liveable Communities is an independent, not-for-profit property developer, owner and manager of affordable and community housing. BHC's Vision is "Creating homes, empowering lives, enabling transformation" and Mission "to deliver our Vision by building and maintaining quality affordable homes for people in need and engaging with and supporting people to sustain their tenancies".

A permanent opportunity presents for an experienced Property Manager (Housing Manager) with a strong background in the management of rental housing, including households with complex needs such as those living with a disability.

At BHC, we are big on providing a high performing and inclusive team culture and we proactively strive to be an employer of choice, with a highly engaged and skilled workforce. The role presents at a very exciting time of growth as we work to deliver on our two strategic goals of ‘Growing the supply of affordable housing’ and ‘Supporting residents and communities to thrive’.

Our head office is located at 333 Ann Street in the CBD by Central Station, with the majority of BHC's portfolio located in the inner city and north Brisbane. As a modern organisation we offer staff the option to combine working from head office with working from home (up to 1 day p.w.) and site offices, with a proportion of the week spent in the field.

MORE ABOUT THE ROLE & OUR TEAM

Part of a team of 10 Housing Managers, you will be responsible for the day-to-day tenancy, property management and delivery of effective tenancy management practices for BHC directly managed properties. Our properties range from 3 bedroom through to studios and boarding rooms.

What sets our Housing Managers apart is their community-minded focus and commitment to working with tenants to ensure that both BHC and our tenants benefit from a long-term tenancy through ensuring that tenancies are sustainable, well managed and compliant with all relevant regulations and requirements. You won't report to multiple owners and you can be assured that we are serious about the long-term investment in maintaining the standard of our properties. We strive to balance providing a home for and potentially improving the wellbeing of lower income and vulnerable people, with the commerciality of working in a professional and sustainable business environment.

As a Housing Manager with BHC, you are working within a broader team that includes a focused Community Development Team, Facilities Management Team, and Client Service/Allocations team members.

WHY JOIN OUR TEAM?

At BHC there is a strong focus on a good working culture (including work-life balance, flexible work options) with many staff having worked in the organisation long-term. As a mission-based organisation that provides housing for people on lower incomes, values-based people tend to be drawn to working with BHC.

There are plenty of professional development opportunities (formal and informal), and a strong history of internal promotions and movement across teams. Longevity of tenure is for the same reason staff are attracted to the organisation – because they enjoy making a difference and are given autonomy and ownership.

Staff also have access to generous salary packaging benefits to increase take home pay including $15,900 of your salary tax-free every year, plus $2,650 tax-free that can be put towards holiday accommodation or meals/entertainment.

Your wellbeing matters to us. You will receive access to a paid ‘wellbeing day’ off each quarter plus a paid ‘recharge day’ every 6 months to relax, rebalance and focus on your health and wellbeing; an ex-gratia paid day over Christmas, flexible work arrangements, fortnightly massages and reflexology, social events during work hours, proactive mental health support (including workshops, an EAP program for staff and their families), 1-week’s paid COVID leave in addition to your sick leave, and a market-leading parental leave policy for both parents offering up to 14 weeks’ full pay in addition to government paid parental leave.

Access to pro-rata long service leave is available after 7 years, that is portable within the community services sector.

The office environment is modern (and the coffee/sparkling water tap great!) with a culture that reflects our core values of making a difference, working with integrity, supporting each other, working safely, our differences, being accountable and delivering quality, and celebrating achievements.
