About the Role
At Hammersmith & Fulham, we are ambitious in reforming the council to ensure this is a place for everybody. Within the Housing & Neighbourhoods department, we aim to be efficient in everything that we do. We believe our residents deserve a place that is safe, clean and green, with high quality services they can rely on.
This is an exciting time to be joining us as we reshape the regulation of our private rented sector. With over 30,000 private rented homes in the borough and rising expectations following major legislative reform, the Private Sector Housing Service is undergoing a major transformation to become more proactive, tenant‑focused and intelligence‑driven, supported by expanded staffing and service redesign.
Reporting to the Assistant Director of Housing Standards, you will lead a high‑performing team delivering enforcement, licensing and resident‑focused housing services across the private rented sector.
Possessing a strong track record of leading regulatory or enforcement teams, you can display proven leadership and people management skills, alongside strong operational and strategic capability. The ability to build relationships and work with senior stakeholders and partners is essential in order to deliver a high quality service through effective collaboration.
