AGENCY OVERVIEW
Plymouth Housing Group owns and manages 12 buildings that provide nearly 900 units of permanent housing for homeless or very low-income people in downtown Seattle. PHG cannot end homelessness simply by providing housing. Many homeless people need much more than a roof over their heads—they need medical care, mental health counseling, chemical dependency services, and life-skills coaching. They may also benefit from creating healthy connections within their community. Our goal is to assist formerly homeless and very poor tenants to establish a stable life in permanent housing by providing needed resources and teaching basic life skills, thereby empowering tenants to manage their lives effectively.
JOB SUMMARY
The Building Specialist (BS) is responsible for providing excellent customer service as well as monitoring and assisting with the safety and security of each building and our tenants. Most PHG buildings are staffed 7-days a week and some are staffed 24-hours a day. The Building Specialist position is responsible for assisting the Resident Manager in tenant management, enforcing building rules, performing janitorial tasks and building maintenance. In the absence of the Building Manager, the Building Specialist is responsible for responding to and reporting tenant and building emergencies. The live in position includes being a part of a team that is on-call 24 hours for emergencies in the building.
ESSENTIAL JOB QUALIFICATIONS:
(Any Equivalent Combination of Knowledge, Skills, Abilities, Education, and Experience)
- Education: High school diploma or GED equivalent.
- Experience: Previous customer service experience required.
- Licensure/Certification: N/A
- Other Qualifications: Must have interpersonal skills to communicate effectively with tenants and the public. Must be able to work independently as well as part of a team. Must be able to read, write and understand English. Basic computer skills with a working knowledge of Microsoft Office preferred. Demonstrated administrative support skills a plus. Live In positions must meet tax credit eligibility criteria.
- Preferred Experience: Experience with diverse, low-income or special needs population. Excellent client boundaries and rule enforcement, including lease and building rules as well as King County Landlord Tenant law. Janitorial, light maintenance or security experience preferred. Previous employment in social services, housing or mental health desired.
