Job description

Scheme Coordinator – Forthriver Fold, Belfast Radius Housing

• Closing Date: 9 January 2026
• Location: Belfast
• Contract: Permanent
• Hours: 36
• Job Ref: FHA04380

Our Scheme Coordinators play a vital role in our independent living schemes. They are responsible for the day-to‑day management of the schemes, enabling our tenants to live confidently, independently and positively in their own homes, and ensuring the safe and smooth operation of the Scheme. The role is at the heart of our delivery of services to our tenants.

Reference: FHA04380

Our Scheme Coordinators help and encourage our tenants to lead independent lives in a safe and welcoming environment. Whilst our tenants have their own independent homes within the Scheme, they benefit from a range of additional on‑site housing services provided via the Scheme Coordinator. This ranges from a tailored welcome and induction on moving in, to liaison on the resident’s behalf with statutory or voluntary agencies if this is needed, and support in the event of an emergency. Our Scheme Coordinators also arrange social events for our tenants and agree individual housing support plans with them.

The Scheme Coordinator also has oversight of the physical environment within the Scheme to ensure that tenants are safe and benefit from a clean and well‑maintained living environment.

In our recent survey our tenants described the Scheme Coordinator role as….
