Apprenticeship Standard: Housing and Property Management
(Housing / Property Management Officer – Level 3)
Project Brief Proposal
Guidance on completing this form
It is recommended that you take time to read the document,
‘Assessment Guidance – Levels 3 and 4’ prior to completing
this form.
When developing ideas for the project, it is essential to have a
copy of the Level 3 (Officer Role) apprenticeship standard
available so you can ensure coverage of the knowledge, skills
and behaviours areas within the standard, and consider their
applicability to the apprentice and their employer.
It is expected that projects will differ according to the particular
circumstances of the individual apprentice and employer – this
means that you will normally need to submit separate project
proposals for every apprentice. However, there may be cases
where an approved project brief can be re-used providing there
have been no changes to the employer requirements / job role,
purpose and objectives of the project, and the areas covered
remain the same. If you want to make any changes to an
approved project, you must complete a change form and send it
to CIH for approval. It is also expected that you will keep the
brief under regular review in line with any changes relating to
the apprentice’s job role / employer.
Make sure you allow enough time for the project brief to be
approved prior to starting on the project. Our advice is that you
apply for approval no later than 6 months into the
apprenticeship programme.
Feedback will normally be provided within 10 days of
submission.
If the project brief is not approved, you will be provided with
feedback on the reasons for this. You will then be invited to
submit a revised brief to CIH, using a resubmission form.
Apprentices must not start on the project until the brief has
been formally approved by CIH as the apprenticeship
assessment organisation.

Project Brief Proposal: Level 3
At Level 3, Housing/ Property Management ‘Officer’,
apprentices have to complete a project (in addition to the other
components listed in the Assessment Guidance document) in
order to pass through the gateway to end point assessment. The
end point assessment panel will verify the evidence contained
within the project.
When putting together the project proposal we recommend that
you refer to the project guidance documentation. Note, not all
the areas listed under knowledge, skills and behaviours need to
be evidenced by the project but they should all be covered by
the portfolio and any associated qualifications/assessments.
However, the project has to be broad enough in coverage to
demonstrate sufficiency of the job role requirements and must
be a coherent piece of work.
This form asks you to state how the project has the potential to
demonstrate the area of the standard selected being met.
Below is an extract from the Assessment Guidance as a
reminder for what the project should cover.
Extract from CIH Apprentice Assessment Organisation
Guidance: Creating a project brief for Housing / Property
Management Officer - Level 3
Project brief: Housing/Property Management Officer
Typical roles:
· Generic or specialist housing or neighbourhood officer
· Neighbourhood co-ordinator/advisor
· Lettings officer/allocations officer/tenant officer/income
management officer
· Leasehold management officer/private sector housing
officer/strategic housing officer/property Senior
· Negotiator/senior negotiator
The brief must illustrate the level of detail and expectations of
the project and be capable of being mapped against the
knowledge, skills and behaviours listed within the ‘Officer’
standard for the housing and property management sectors.
Projects should relate to the role the apprentice is undertaking,
such as one of the roles in the list above; this should mean that
the project will enable the apprentice to evidence ‘real acquired
skills and knowledge’, together with sufficient coverage of the
areas within the standard.
The type of projects ‘Officers’ can undertake to meet the
requirements of the standard include the practical application
of a policy change in the operation of a housing/property
management function or examine the impact of legislation on
the operation or service delivery of a housing/property
management function where the apprenticeship works. The
project must:
· stretch/challenge both theoretical understanding and practical
application of knowledge, skills and behaviours.
· show evidence of interaction with colleagues and tenants in
developing and executing the project
The project itself should be supported by a diary (or a summary
reflection) and a report of the project activity (for example,
what happened, what issues came up, timetable of activities
etc.).

1 Project aims and objectives
Please state below the overall aim and the objectives for the
project. These should be developed and agreed by the
apprentice, the apprenticeship training provider and the
apprentice’s line manager.
Aim:
London borough of Southwark has average of 314000 residents
living in the borough and 55000 properties managed by the local
authority. LB of Southwark are known as the most diverse and
populated borough in London. Day to day repairs services have
been brought in house in 2013 and first in house call centre was
opened in Peckham, Queens Road. Today, it has 128 customer
service officers working in hour to answer day time calls and
out of hours, mainly set for unforeseen emergencies. In 2018
October, Southwark council will move repairs in house and SBS
(Southwark Building Services) will become the main provider
of engineers and trades e.g. electricians, plumbers, carpenters.
Heating engineers are contracted by wo contractors: OCO is
responsible for South of the borough and Smith and Byfords for
North of the borough.
In an interview with tenant association representative I was
informed that the majority of customer complaints is that their
issue was not resolved at the time of their first call, resulting in
additional calls.
The overall purpose of this project is to encourage staff to
resolve customer’s issues within the first contact.
It is designed to reduce dissatisfaction from the residents and
repeat call volumes.
It also aims to achieve reduced complaints, improve quality of
calls and customer satisfaction by implementing incentive
schemes in the call centre and this will be measured by the
customer satisfaction surveys.
Objectives:
1 Analyse Service Level Agreement and agreed targets, CSO
targets, complaint statistics where issue is not resolved first
time through Staffino online (Staffino is an online source for
fair performance review. Customers are ask to leave a review by
being transferred to the different phone line for automated
service feedback survey)
2 Interview a five members of front line staff and team leaders
what would incentivise performance and how could performance
that goes extra mile be recognized to improve customer
satisfaction.
3 Scope out other organisations who have introduced incentive
schemes and visit a sample of two to see how employee benefits
improved customer satisfaction.
4 Interviewing two tenant representatives on what would be
incentivise performance and how could performance that goes
extra mile be recognized to improve customer service.
5 Carry out a feasibility study on introducing an incentive
scheme for staff with the aim that it will improve customer
satisfaction and reduce customer complaints. Establish a budget
if necessary and identify how this might be met.
6 Prepare and present to the senior management a report on
findings and recommendations in the call centre.

GUIDANCE FOR STUDENTS IN THE COMPLETION OF
TASKS
NOTE: The guidance offered below is linked to the five
common assessment criteria above.
1. Research-informed Literature
Your work must be informed and supported by scholarly
material that is relevant to and focused on the task(s) set. You
should provide evidence that you have accessed a wide range of
sources, which may be academic, governmental and
industrial; these sources may include academic journal articles,
textbooks, current news articles, organisational
documents, and websites. You should consider the credibility
of your sources; academic journals are normally highly
credible sources while websites require careful
consideration/selection and should be used sparingly. Any
sources
you use should be current and up-to-date, mostly published
within the last five years or so, though seminal/important
works in the field may be older. You must provide evidence of
your research/own reading throughout your work, using
in-text citations in the main body of your work and a reference
list that is alphabetical at the end of your work. Please
use the Harvard referencing system.
Specific to this assignment: Good answers show evidence of
research beyond the case material provided.
2. Knowledge and Understanding of Subject
Your work must demonstrate the growing extent of your
knowledge and understanding of concepts and underlying
principles associated with the subject area. Knowledge relates
to the facts, information and skills you have acquired
through your learning. You demonstrate your understanding by
interpreting the meaning of the facts and information
(knowledge). This means that you need to select and include in
your work the concepts, techniques, models, theories,
etc. appropriate to the task(s) set. You should be able to
explain the theories, concepts, etc. meaningfully to show
your understanding. Your mark/grade will also depend upon the
extent to which you demonstrate your knowledge
and understanding; ideally each should be complete and
detailed, with comprehensive coverage.
Specific to this assignment: Marks are given for identification
and application of relevant theoretical
models.
3. Analysis
Your work must contain evidence of logical, analytical
thinking, evaluation and synthesis. For example, to examine and
break information down into parts, make inferences, compile,
compare and contrast information. This means not just
describing what! But also justifying: Why? How? When? Who?
Where? At all times, you must provide justification for
your arguments and judgements. Evidence that you have
reflected upon the ideas of others within the subject area is
crucial to you providing a reasoned and informed debate within
your work. Furthermore, you should provide evidence
that you are able to make sound judgements and
convincing arguments using data and concepts. Sound,
valid
conclusions are necessary and must be derived from the content
of your work. There should be no new information
presented within your conclusion. Where relevant, alternative
solutions and recommendations may be proposed.
Specific to this assignment: Analysis comes from appropriate
data and information to provide insights.
8
4. Practical Application and Deployment
You should be able to demonstrate how the subject-related
concepts and ideas relate to real world situations or a
particular context. How do they work in practice? You will
deploy models, methods, techniques, and/or theories, in
that context, to assess current situations, perhaps to formulate
plans or solutions to solve problems, some of which
may be innovative and creative. This is likely to involve, for
instance, the use of real world examples and cases, the
application of a model within an organisation and/or
benchmarking one organisation against others based on stated
criteria. You should show awareness of the limitations of
concepts and theories when applied in particular contexts.
Specific to this assignment: ALL recommendations to be
sourced from and relevant to the analysis
provided.
5. Skills for Professional PracticeYour work must provide
evidence of the attributes expected in professional practice.
This includes demonstrating your individual initiative and/or
collaborative working. You must communicate effectively
in a suitable format, which may be written and/or oral, for
example, essay, management report, presentation. Work
should be coherent and well- structured in presentation and
organisation.
Specific to this assignment: Report format normally includes
the following sections: Executive Summary,
Introduction, Main Findings, Conclusions, Recommendations,
References and Appendices. Your report
should be written in a suitable academic writing style i.e. using
the third person.

Nor may you transmit it or store it in any other site or other form of electronic retrieval system. Apprenticeship Standard: Housing and Property Management (Housing / Property Management Officer – Level 3) Project Brief Proposal Guidance on completing this form It is recommended that you take time to read the document, ‘Assessment Guidance – Levels 3 and 4’ prior to completing this form. When developing ideas for the project, it is essential to have a copy of the Level 3 (Officer Role) apprenticeship standard available so you can ensure coverage of the knowledge, skills and behaviours areas within the standard, and consider their applicability to the apprentice and their employer. It is expected that projects will differ according to the particular circumstances of the individual apprentice and employer – this means that you will normally need to submit separate project proposals for every apprentice. However, there may be cases where an approved project brief can be re-used providing there have been no changes to the employer requirements / job role, purpose and objectives of the project, and the areas covered remain the same. If you want to make any changes to an approved project, you must complete a change form and send it
  • 3. to CIH for approval. It is also expected that you will keep the brief under regular review in line with any changes relating to the apprentice’s job role / employer. Make sure you allow enough time for the project brief to be approved prior to starting on the project. Our advice is that you apply for approval no later than 6 months into the apprenticeship programme. Feedback will normally be provided within 10 days of submission. If the project brief is not approved, you will be provided with feedback on the reasons for this. You will then be invited to submit a revised brief to CIH, using a resubmission form. Apprentices must not start on the project until the brief has been formally approved by CIH as the apprenticeship assessment organisation. If you require further support please contact us at [email protected] Project Brief Proposal: Level 3 At Level 3, Housing/ Property Management ‘Officer’, apprentices have to complete a project (in addition to the other components listed in the Assessment Guidance document) in order to pass through the gateway to end point assessment. The end point assessment panel will verify the evidence contained within the project. When putting together the project proposal we recommend that you refer to the project guidance documentation. Note, not all the areas listed under knowledge, skills and behaviours need to
  • 4. be evidenced by the project but they should all be covered by the portfolio and any associated qualifications/assessments. However, the project has to be broad enough in coverage to demonstrate sufficiency of the job role requirements and must be a coherent piece of work. This form asks you to state how the project has the potential to demonstrate the area of the standard selected being met. Below is an extract from the Assessment Guidance as a reminder for what the project should cover. Extract from CIH Apprentice Assessment Organisation Guidance: Creating a project brief for Housing / Property Management Officer - Level 3 Project brief: Housing/Property Management Officer Typical roles: · Generic or specialist housing or neighbourhood officer · Neighbourhood co-ordinator/advisor · Lettings officer/allocations officer/tenant officer/income management officer · Leasehold management officer/private sector housing officer/strategic housing officer/property Senior · Negotiator/senior negotiator The brief must illustrate the level of detail and expectations of the project and be capable of being mapped against the knowledge, skills and behaviours listed within the ‘Officer’ standard for the housing and property management sectors. Projects should relate to the role the apprentice is undertaking, such as one of the roles in the list above; this should mean that the project will enable the apprentice to evidence ‘real acquired skills and knowledge’, together with sufficient coverage of the
  • 5. areas within the standard. The type of projects ‘Officers’ can undertake to meet the requirements of the standard include the practical application of a policy change in the operation of a housing/property management function or examine the impact of legislation on the operation or service delivery of a housing/property management function where the apprenticeship works. The project must: · stretch/challenge both theoretical understanding and practical application of knowledge, skills and behaviours. · show evidence of interaction with colleagues and tenants in developing and executing the project The project itself should be supported by a diary (or a summary reflection) and a report of the project activity (for example, what happened, what issues came up, timetable of activities etc.).

  • 7. 1 Project aims and objectives Please state below the overall aim and the objectives for the project. These should be developed and agreed by the apprentice, the apprenticeship training provider and the apprentice’s line manager. Aim: London borough of Southwark has average of 314000 residents
  • 8. living in the borough and 55000 properties managed by the local authority. LB of Southwark are known as the most diverse and populated borough in London. Day to day repairs services have been brought in house in 2013 and first in house call centre was opened in Peckham, Queens Road. Today, it has 128 customer service officers working in hour to answer day time calls and out of hours, mainly set for unforeseen emergencies. In 2018 October, Southwark council will move repairs in house and SBS (Southwark Building Services) will become the main provider of engineers and trades e.g. electricians, plumbers, carpenters. Heating engineers are contracted by wo contractors: OCO is responsible for South of the borough and Smith and Byfords for North of the borough. In an interview with tenant association representative I was informed that the majority of customer complaints is that their issue was not resolved at the time of their first call, resulting in additional calls. The overall purpose of this project is to encourage staff to resolve customer’s issues within the first contact. It is designed to reduce dissatisfaction from the residents and repeat call volumes. It also aims to achieve reduced complaints, improve quality of calls and customer satisfaction by implementing incentive schemes in the call centre and this will be measured by the customer satisfaction surveys. Objectives: 1 Analyse Service Level Agreement and agreed targets, CSO targets, complaint statistics where issue is not resolved first time through Staffino online (Staffino is an online source for

Customers are ask to leave a review by being transferred to the different phone line for automated service feedback survey) 2 Interview a five members of front line staff and team leaders what would incentivise performance and how could performance that goes extra mile be recognized to improve customer satisfaction. 3 Scope out other organisations who have introduced incentive schemes and visit a sample of two to see how employee benefits improved customer satisfaction. 4 Interviewing two tenant representatives on what would be incentivise performance and how could performance that goes extra mile be recognized to improve customer service. 5 Carry out a feasibility study on introducing an incentive scheme for staff with the aim that it will improve customer satisfaction and reduce customer complaints. Establish a budget if necessary and identify how this might be met. 6 Prepare and present to the senior management a report on findings and recommendations in the call centre. 2 The standards

  • 32. (40% WEIGHT) rly structured argument about research proposal: 1-15 about research proposal and its contents : 16-25 covering each element of research proposal well : 26-40 GUIDANCE FOR STUDENTS IN THE COMPLETION OF TASKS NOTE: The guidance offered below is linked to the five common assessment criteria above. 1. Research-informed Literature Your work must be informed and supported by scholarly material that is relevant to and focused on the task(s) set. You should provide evidence that you have accessed a wide range of sources, which may be academic, governmental and industrial; these sources may include academic journal articles, textbooks, current news articles, organisational documents, and websites. You should consider the credibility of your sources; academic journals are normally highly credible sources while websites require careful consideration/selection and should be used sparingly. Any sources you use should be current and up-to-date, mostly published within the last five years or so, though seminal/important
  • 33. works in the field may be older. You must provide evidence of your research/own reading throughout your work, using in-text citations in the main body of your work and a reference list that is alphabetical at the end of your work. Please use the Harvard referencing system. Specific to this assignment: Good answers show evidence of research beyond the case material provided. 2. Knowledge and Understanding of Subject Your work must demonstrate the growing extent of your knowledge and understanding of concepts and underlying principles associated with the subject area. Knowledge relates to the facts, information and skills you have acquired through your learning. You demonstrate your understanding by interpreting the meaning of the facts and information (knowledge). This means that you need to select and include in your work the concepts, techniques, models, theories, etc. appropriate to the task(s) set. You should be able to explain the theories, concepts, etc. meaningfully to show your understanding. Your mark/grade will also depend upon the extent to which you demonstrate your knowledge and understanding; ideally each should be complete and detailed, with comprehensive coverage. Specific to this assignment: Marks are given for identification and application of relevant theoretical models. 3. Analysis Your work must contain evidence of logical, analytical thinking, evaluation and synthesis. For example, to examine and
  • 34. break information down into parts, make inferences, compile, compare and contrast information. This means not just describing what! But also justifying: Why? How? When? Who? Where? At all times, you must provide justification for your arguments and judgements. Evidence that you have reflected upon the ideas of others within the subject area is crucial to you providing a reasoned and informed debate within your work. Furthermore, you should provide evidence that you are able to make sound judgements and convincing arguments using data and concepts. Sound, valid conclusions are necessary and must be derived from the content of your work. There should be no new information presented within your conclusion. Where relevant, alternative solutions and recommendations may be proposed. Specific to this assignment: Analysis comes from appropriate data and information to provide insights. 8 4. Practical Application and Deployment You should be able to demonstrate how the subject-related concepts and ideas relate to real world situations or a particular context. How do they work in practice? You will deploy models, methods, techniques, and/or theories, in that context, to assess current situations, perhaps to formulate plans or solutions to solve problems, some of which may be innovative and creative. This is likely to involve, for
  • 35. instance, the use of real world examples and cases, the application of a model within an organisation and/or benchmarking one organisation against others based on stated criteria. You should show awareness of the limitations of concepts and theories when applied in particular contexts. Specific to this assignment: ALL recommendations to be sourced from and relevant to the analysis provided. 5. Skills for Professional PracticeYour work must provide evidence of the attributes expected in professional practice. This includes demonstrating your individual initiative and/or collaborative working. You must communicate effectively in a suitable format, which may be written and/or oral, for example, essay, management report, presentation. Work should be coherent and well- structured in presentation and organisation. Specific to this assignment: Report format normally includes the following sections: Executive Summary, Introduction, Main Findings, Conclusions, Recommendations, References and Appendices. Your report should be written in a suitable academic writing style i.e. using the third person. 9 UNDERGRADUATE - COMMON ASSESSMENT AND
