What You’ll Do
You’ll lead the strategic and operational delivery of housing management, neighbourhood services, tenancy sustainment, community engagement, rent and service charges, and commercial services.

* Represent the organisation at board level and externally
* Play a pivotal role in corporate strategy, budget planning, and long‑term transformation
Who we’re looking for
You’ll be a confident, values‑led senior leader with deep experience in housing or community‑focused services. You’ll bring strategic clarity, operational grip, and the credibility to influence at board and system level.
You’ll Likely Have
* Proven senior leadership experience in housing, communities or a related sector
* Strong knowledge of housing legislation and regulatory standards
* Experience leading complex services at scale
* A collaborative approach and excellent stakeholder engagement skills
* A genuine commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion
* A professional housing qualification (e.g. CIH) or equivalent experience
This is an opportunity to shape services that genuinely change lives - combining commercial insight with social purpose, and strategic leadership with hands‑on impact.
