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

Haringey’s Repair Service is excited to recruit a highly organised and proactive Scaffold Administrator to join our responsive repairs team. This role is pivotal in ensuring the smooth coordination and administration of scaffolding operations across various projects. You will be responsible for managing scaffold requests, liaising with contractors and customers, as well as maintaining accurate records, and supporting our operational teams to deliver safe and efficient scaffolding for repairs resolution, all while complying with relevant procedures and legislation.

About You

Ideally, you will have had previous administration experience in property repairs or the building and trades industry. You’re someone with a “can-do” approach to problem-solving, adept at managing administrative workflows and seeing tasks through to completion. You’ll be comfortable working as part of a team and making urgent decisions that comply with Health & Safety obligations as well as working to deadlines in a fast-moving repairs service. Experience of working within diverse communities is key, as well as excellent customer service, as you’ll be a representative of the Council.
