Welcome to the Estates Team at Camphill Village Trust
Established in 1954, Camphill Village Trust is a National Charity that supports adults with learning disabilities, autism and mental health problems. We operate in both rural and urban communities, building on our care (social) farming legacy. Our focus is on enabling potential for people with support needs through farming, organic horticulture and enterprise centered on nature and traditional skills. Our guiding principles and what is important to us are Enabling Potential, Environmental Respect, Healthy Living and Social Impact. We value everyone’s contribution, enabling personal pathways to development, celebrating the changing seasons and respecting the natural rhythm of natural life. We have a bold new strategy to be leaders of the Green Care future – reimagining an innovate, integrated, high-quality social care offer with the proven benefits of nature and the environment, resulting in a Life of Opportunity for the people who access our services. Unlocking Homes and Asset potential is one of the building blocks to support our vision. We know that providing good quality, adapted and sustainable supported housing plays an important role in helping people to live independently. Our strategy is to invest in our homes and commercial assets (retail, hospitality, training and food production) to develop vibrant and connected communities and urban settings. Following a 100% stock condition survey, we are developing our Asset Management & Investment Strategy to address property condition, improve EPC ratings and unlock potential by developing selected properties for private rental, holiday/ respite accommodation and aim to fully let all properties. We have plans to undertake a transformational investment in Gloucestershire, including a significant infrastructure upgrade at Grange community. We will divest of assets that no
longer support our vision and reinvest this into major projects at Gloucestershire and Delrow, Watford. To achieve our ambition we have created a new Estates Directorate, in-sourcing our Repairs and Maintenance service and creating the new role of Regional Property Surveyor for the West and Hertfordshire communities. • West - responsible for Oaklands Park and Grange communities, Taurus Crafts in the Forest of Dean and a collection of street properties in Stourbridge, West Midlands. • Hertfordshire – responsible for Delrow in Watford and a collection of street properties in St Albans You will be working with Stakeholders across these communities to Co-Produce and deliver the asset management and investment plan, providing surveying expertise and managing contractors to deliver both compliance and investment projects. You will work with our Property and Repairs Team ‘PALS’ to deliver the Planned Preventative Maintenance program and provide expertise on property compliance and Health and Safety matters. We have a truly unique rural and urban estate,
with over 350 properties. The stock features artisan Stiener- design homes and buildings, through to listed period properties, former country estates, farmhouses and farm buildings. The following provides information and detail about the role, our locations and the type of person we’re looking for. If this sounds exciting to you and you have the passion, experience and skills to help us achieve our ambitious vision, we’d love to hear from you.
