  Golding Homes

  • United Kingdom

  • Support Coordinator

    • Jul 2014 - Jun 2015
    • United Kingdom

    Became the first support coordinator to clear the backlog of outstanding reviews. Achieving this was very important to the organisation as it lowered our overall non-competition ratio with funding issued by Kent County Council. This process took approximately a year and I was proud that when I left the company, both Golding Homes and their backlog were in a much better position than when I arrived. Developed professional relationships with outsides agencies to improve the service quality given to our customers. Building these relationships allowed me to coordinate support at a much quicker pace and get the best process put into place for our customers. Managed 180 clients; Prioritised the high-need customers to make sure they were safe and stable in their own home. Prioritising these clients lowered the risk of any complications in the future, freeing up more time for myself and the company to concentrate on other areas of the business.As a result of my proven system to get outstanding reviews completed, I set up team meetings to share best practises. Through this meeting I was able able to communicate to my team how prioritising high-need clients has helped lower client complaints, create more time in-office and reduce travel time.

  Home Group

  • Maidstone, Kent.

  • Project Worker

    • Jul 2012 - Jul 2014
    • Maidstone, Kent.

    Ensured tenancy agreements had correct clauses to protect the client as well as the company if any breaches in contract were made. Warning letters sent out in correct order to ensure tenancy agreement was not lost for the client. Responsible for completing the petty cash and payment card returns on time every month. Not doing so would’ve black listed our project in the company. After 2 blacklists, head office would’ve taken our petty cash and card away. While this task was my liability, I successfully maintained a balanced return each month with zero blacklists, therefor ensuring the company a sound mind as well maintaining positive standing with head office. Orchestrated the position as Repairs and Maintenance lead, logging and reporting all repairs to contractors and then reporting back to customers when their repairs would be carried out. Keeping on top of repairs was absolutely vital as our clients could claim compensation if the repairs team were late fixing the problem. By keeping on top of this daily, I was able to save the company from paying out compensation to our clients. Supported our clients with a number of daily tasks such as form filling, benefit claims and housing applications. Supporting the clients with these financial tasks ensured that not only the customer got their money but also us as a company got ours too. Updated the local policies and procedures on an ongoing basis as a result of changing national policies and outside agency policy changes. Doing this safeguarded us as a company because our clients had to follow the policy and procedures to maintain their tenancy. It also helped my colleagues for any staff related matters.
