Shape the future of private housing in one of London’s most ambitious boroughs.
Hammersmith & Fulham is a borough of ambition, innovation, and inclusion. With the private rented sector now the largest form of housing in the borough, surpassing both homeownership and social housing, we are committed to ensuring that all residents, regardless of tenure, have access to safe, sustainable, and affordable homes.
We are now seeking a dynamic and visionary Assistant Director, Housing Standards to lead our work in transforming the private rented sector and driving up housing standards across the borough.
This is a strategic leadership role at the heart of our housing and regulatory services. You will be responsible for improving housing standards across all tenures, including council-owned homes, housing association properties, and the private rented sector, ensuring that every resident lives in a home that is safe, well-maintained, and fit for purpose.
As the Council’s lead adviser on housing standards, you will lead the delivery of our new Private Rented Sector Policy. Focused on working collaboratively with residents and landlords, raising standards of quality, maintenance, and safety, driving robust and effective enforcement, building a more inclusive and accessible PRS and oversee licensing, regulation, and enforcement functions.
You will work across departments in a matrix structure to influence and enable delivery and represent the borough at sub-regional, regional, and national levels, shaping housing policy and best practice.
We’re looking for a strategic, experienced, and passionate leader who can inspire and lead high-performing teams in a complex, fast-paced environment. You will navigate political and stakeholder landscapes with confidence and credibility and drive service improvement and innovation with residents at the heart of delivery.
Championing high standards and regulatory excellence across all housing tenures, bringing deep knowledge of housing regulation, enforcement, and policy, and a proven track record of delivering impactful change in housing or related services.
