Berneslai Homes
Executive Director Property Services
£111,254, Barnsley
This is your chance to take on a leadership role where you can ensure we live up to the promises we make to our customers, and where your contribution counts for more.
Berneslai Homes is an arms-length management organisation, successfully managing 18,000 council homes and wholly owned by Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council. More than just a landlord, we are a key community anchor organisation with a deep understanding of our area and its history that informs our far-reaching ambitions for its future. We have a clear strategic direction that maps our priorities up until 2031 and our current C1 rating from the Regulator of Social Housing confirms that we are getting things right and are well-placed to build on this success well into the future. We know that by actively listening to our customers and delivering consistently high-quality services for the Council we can create great homes and communities with the people of Barnsley.
This is a vital leadership role in our organisation: part of the Executive team and taking lead responsibility for the management of our Property Services. This service is fundamental to our commitment to customers – ensuring safe, high-quality homes that enable communities to flourish. Working closely with your management team you will drive the modernisation of property services and deliver exceptional customer experiences. You'll be responsible for ensuring that the £55 million budget for repairs and property investment is effectively managed, with a strong focus on value for money. This role offers the opportunity for strategic leadership of asset management, repairs and maintenance and building safety. You'll ensure that we live up to our promises to customers – putting their needs at the centre of all we do while delivering the quality assurance that will further consolidate our reputation as a high-performing landlord. You'll offer visible and values-led leadership to your team, with clear direction and purpose enabling a right first-time culture.
We expect that you will already have significant leadership experience in a relevant setting as well as expert professional knowledge in asset management, repairs, building safety and property management. But this role is about more than your technical expertise – we also want someone who can play a wider leadership role in the organisation, ensuring that delivery on the ground is aligned to our strategic objectives.
