About You We’re looking for a strategic leader who combines technical expertise with strong people management skills. You’ll bring strong leadership experience within asset management, housing, construction or maintenance, with a proven ability to manage complex programmes, high-value contracts and multidisciplinary teams. You’ll have relevant technical qualifications, a solid understanding of retrofit and programme management approaches, and experience working to regulatory, CDM and safety standards.
You’ll be financially confident, an excellent communicator and skilled at building relationships, influencing others and driving performance. You’ll also be self-aware and self-motivated. Personally, you’ll role-model NCHA’s values, be committed to inclusion, open to feedback and capable of guiding teams through change with clarity and professionalism.
You will be a car driver and have access to a car, unless a disability precludes this. This post attracts Essential Car User allowance and the facility to claim authorised business mileage.
Our culture We pride ourselves on being a different kind of housing association, one that has no ambition to be the biggest, but always aspires to be the best. At the heart of this philosophy are strong partnerships and a commitment to customer scrutiny and participation. This person-centred approach extends to our employees. We value the outstanding contribution they make. Our people are very loyal to us, and we are proud to be loyal to them, nurturing a friendly, supportive environment and an open, no-blame culture.
Working Hours 35 hours per week, Monday to Friday. Core hours are 9am-5pm. Agile working is available with an expectation that 3 days are worked from an NCHA office. Our Head Office is based in Clifton, Nottingham.
NCHA strives to be a welcoming and inclusive employer; we particularly welcome applicants from ethnic minority communities, LGBTQ+ communities, and candidates with disabilities, as they are currently under-represented within our workforce principally in our people manager roles.
