Berneslai Homes
Chief Executive
£145,718, Barnsley
Leadership opportunities like this don’t come around often: this could be your career defining role, leading a high performing organisation that is looking to the future with ambition and confidence.
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.
As our new Chief Executive, you will have the opportunity to lead this work: providing visible and values-led leadership to a very talented team; engaging with our customers to ensure that resources are focused on what matters most to them; and managing key relationships with our partners, and with Barnsley Council. We’re looking for someone who will lead by example and bring others with you: how you do things is as important as what you do. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone with an accomplished track record in leadership within the sector to take the organisation to the next level in delivering great homes for customers. An inclusive leadership style will be key – enabling you to empower and develop others to build our organisational talent and capacity. Naturally collaborative and outward looking, you’ll be able to foster positive working relations within and outside the organisation to extend our influence and impact. You’ll work with your leadership team to define clear organisational goals, measure performance against these and model our values – customer first, can do and curious.
