• Working closely with Regional Management and Contract Support teams to support engagement activities and ensure resident needs and preferences are reflected across the White Oaks community.
• Coordinating and delivering a variety of activities and events that promote social interaction and a sense of community.
• Tracking resident satisfaction trends and supporting the implementation of improvement plans when required.
• Supporting the attraction of new residents by helping showcase the vibrant, inclusive culture within White Oaks.
• Sharing best practice and new ideas with fellow Engagement Managers to keep raising standards.
• Using the Positive Impressions™ framework to guide your approach and help embed a resident-centred culture across the portfolio.
• Providing regular updates and reports to relevant teams to help guide decision-making and continuous improvement.

Who We're Looking For

You don't need to come from this niche - if you have strong people skills and enjoy creating positive experiences, we'd love to hear from you. Full training will be provided.
Essential qualities and experience

• Experience leading a team, motivating others, or coordinating activities in any environment (hospitality, retail, community work, education, leisure, customer service, etc.).
• A warm, empathetic communicator who can adapt to different audiences.
• Confident gathering feedback and turning it into actionable ideas.
• Organised, adaptable, and comfortable working in a role where every day is different.
• Strong emotional intelligence, resilience, and the ability to handle sensitive situations professionally.
• Experience in a supervisory or managerial role, or training/qualifications in conflict resolution or people management.
