Anne Robertson MSc. Chartered MCIPD
My ability to thrive in complex, challenging and trail-blazing environments is proven, I am extremely flexible, adaptable and work well under pressure.
As a member of a Housing Association’s Senior Management Team I played an integral part in the Association’s strategic planning process. It was my role to ensure the Association’s Key Objectives cascaded throughout the organisation via Performance and Development Reviews process and that a ‘bottom up’ approach to planning existed through staff and Committee engagement.
I am experienced in Business Planning and policy formulation:
I am committed to the principles of partnership working, particularly in relation to the prevention of homelessness, improving the environment and creating secure homes for local communities.
I have excellent negotiating skills, I am able to influence decision-makers at all levels and have a great deal of influence outside of my own organisation.
In the past 15 years, in particular, I have worked with a high number of agencies:
My very practical management experience and my academic qualifications in Management have allowed me to develop extremely strong staff management skills. I have held managerial roles throughout the past 28 years and as Neighbourhood Housing Manager I was directly responsible for the management of over 110 staff.
I have highly developed interpersonal and team working skills, and a proven ability to form partnerships, motivate, enthuse and drive individuals.
I have a strong track record in resolving staffing issues without the need to resort to formal disciplinary action and I find that people respond well to my management style. I have, on occasion, had to resort to making use of disciplinary action to resolve issues. I see this, very much, as a last resort but often a way of encouraging staff to accept support or training.
I have a proven track record in setting extremely high personal standards and ensuring delivery and I am recognised for the volume and quality of my work and my commitment to supporting others to succeed.
I am skilled in leading, coaching and managing people and have the ability to get the best from staff by motivating and developing them to achieve high performance despite changing circumstances.
I have extensive housing management experience built up over a 25 year period and have a strong belief in effective delegation to encourage staff to expand their knowledge and experience, understand issues, improve their abilities and ultimately, career prospects.
