In this pack, you’ll find information about the job description, the background of MPHA, and the person specification for the housing assistant role, to help you understand what we’re looking for and how you can bring your skills and enthusiasm to the role. We look forward to receiving your application. If you have any questions about the role please call Susan Paton for an informal and confidential chat 0141 564 5256 or susanpaton@molendinar.org.uk 1. Background MPHA is a registered social landlord, a Scottish charity and registered property factor. We are led by a voluntary Management Committee that currently has eleven members: ten members who live locally, of which five are MPHA tenants. MPHA owns 497 properties and provides factoring services to 250 owner-occupiers. We also manage 78 shared ownership properties. Since our formation in 1993 MPHA has built 268 new flats and renovated a tenement building in the Bellgrove area. The Association has won several awards for its developments in Bellgrove. In 1999 we purchased a Sheltered Housing Complex in Castlemilk and a small development around Finnart Square in Bridgeton from Scottish Homes. A year later we purchased 350 houses from Scottish Homes in Dalmarnock. Our communities have high levels of deprivation and inequality. Glasgow’s east end is also home to high levels of housing-led regeneration, and there has been a sustained increase in population which is continuing due to current new build development by social landlords and private developers. Since 2020, MPHA and its tenants, like all other social landlords, have been confronted with a series of unexpected and significant challenges. Our response to the pandemic was swift and effective: we maintained services to our tenants throughout, whilst complying with all legislative requirements and good practice advice. We achieved compliance with new fire safety and energy efficiency standards as required and did not build up a significant backlog of routine or planned maintenance work. Our arrears were managed successfully and did not increase. No staff were furloughed; our staff supported tenants effectively whilst also working flexibly and constructively from home. We maintained good working relationships with our contractors, most of whom are local, and their co-operation was critical to our successful maintenance of responsive and planned maintenance services and sustained good performance. Our ability to adapt and respond successfully to these unexpected challenges is rooted in the solid foundations that underpin this Business Plan: • Strong governance • An experienced and committed staff team • Excellent performance results for service delivery • Very high levels of tenant satisfaction with our services • A positive attitude to making changes and improving how we work • Low levels of debt and a healthy cash position, which will enable us to invest in tenants’ homes, maintain affordable rents and stay resilient in the face of economic uncertainty.

We will do this by: • Pursuing excellence in service delivery for our customers • • Being open and accountable to our tenants • Investing effectively in our tenants’ homes and neighbourhoods Investing in our people We will be satisfied that our Mission and Vision are being achieved with these results: Pursuing excellence in service delivery for ...

At Ark, corporate service roles are built around a 4-day, 32-hour working week. This role is part-time at 16 hours per week, with flexibility around how those hours are worked. It’s how we work, not a short-term initiative.

Working closely with the Payroll Coordinator, you’ll help ensure employees are paid correctly and on time, working to agreed payroll deadlines, payroll data is accurate, and routine queries are handled professionally.
Day to day, you’ll be involved in things like:
-
Acting as a first point of contact for routine payroll and expenses queries;
-
Processing monthly payroll inputs, including hours, allowances, deductions and employment changes;
-
Maintaining accurate pay-related data in the HR and payroll system;
-
Supporting statutory pay calculations (including sick pay and family leave);
-
Processing expenses in line with policy and maintaining audit trails;
-
Supporting pension auto-enrolment activity and payroll reporting;
-
Identifying and resolving data issues, escalating where needed;
-
Supporting improvements to systems, processes and ways of working, with a focus on accuracy, consistency and good governance.
You’ll work closely with the wider People & OD team as well as colleagues from Finance and Care & Support, helping deliver a payroll service that’s accurate, compliant and supportive.
About You
We’re looking for someone who brings:
- Strong numerical skills and a high level of attention to detail;
- Experience working in a payroll environment;
- Confidence using payroll or HR systems, and Excel;
- A clear, professional and customer-focused communication style;
- An understanding of confidentiality, data protection and statutory requirements;
- The ability to organise your work and manage deadlines independently.
Most importantly, you’ll care about getting things right and about providing a positive experience for colleagues.
Why Work With Us?
Alongside our 4-day working week, we also offer:
- Flexible, part-time working arrangements;
- Hybrid working and flexible start and finish times;
- A generous annual leave allowance, with additional leave awarded as your service grows;
- 4% contributory pension

Help transform lives like S
My name is S I'm 16 years old. When I arrived in Glasgow, I was accommodated in Kelvin. I had a very tough journey getting to the UK, my family still live in my hometown and in danger to the ongoing war. Staff at Kelvin are supporting me to live independently, teaching me how to keep my personal space tidy, help with managing money and buying food. I enjoy all sports and love playing as part of a team. In Kelvin I play dominoes and staff help me with my homework. Sometimes, the memories of back home can give me sleep tremors. That's why having supportive people around is crucial. It's important that they understand my journey and offer non-judgmental support, with their help, I believe my future is looking very bright.
Are you ready to make a real difference to the people we support at Kelvin.
