Fleet Manager

We are looking for a Fleet Manager to join a unique and award-winning housing association.

As a Fleet Manager you will be responsible for the operational management, delivery and performance of our fleet of vehicles, with a focus on vehicle and driver safety, sustainability and value for money. 

We are looking for someone who can develop and implement opportunities for improvement who is also hands-on with the everyday requirements of the fleet.

You will be someone who has an eye for detail and can help us manage service providers and the services that surround the running of this service.

The successful applicant will have the ability to manage our fleet – whether it be vehicle and licence checks or fuel card management.  It would help considerably if you have previously worked with telematics equipment too.

A positive approach to excellent customer service, care delivery and a commitment to quality is also required for this role as is a strong administrative ability.  You should be comfortable with every aspect of fleet management from procurement to disposal.  There is a real opportunity to shine here.

About Phoenix Community Housing

Phoenix is a housing organisation with a difference. We’re led by our residents, with a tenant as our Chair and with residents as the largest group on our Board. Some housing associations talk about resident involvement. We live and breathe it every day.

We believe this is our core strength and it’s helped us achieve a wide range of accolades and awards.

Our new Corporate Plan will help us deliver on our vision of ‘together building a better future for our Phoenix Community’, supported by strategies to refresh our approach to resident involvement, customer service, sustainability and ensuring that all residents can enjoy good quality, safe and affordable homes.

Our big ambitions apply to our staff too. We are pleased to offer a generous benefits package, including our wellbeing programme, comprehensive learning and development and a culture of employee involvement.

If you think you’re the right person to help us, make the next stage of our journey, then we’d love to hear from you. We strongly believe in a work-life balance, so we’d be pleased to talk about part-time flexible working and job-sharing options.
