Director of Property Services

Are you a forward-thinking leader ready to take on a rewarding challenge and drive positive change?

We are looking for a strategic leader to join us as Director of Property Services. As a housing association and homelessness charity, our ambition is to end homelessness for good. Safe, comfortable and sustainable homes are fundamental to helping people rebuild their lives, and our Property Services teams play a vital role in making that happen.

The role offers the opportunity to lead a multidisciplinary service with strategic oversight of repairs, fire and building safety, landlord compliance, sustainability, reinvestment and housing services. You will provide strategic leadership across Property and Housing Services, ensuring high-quality, safe and compliant service delivery while shaping investment that reflects resident priorities and regulatory requirements. The role also involves driving continuous improvement and managing risk to ensure the asset portfolio performs effectively over the long term, alongside leading the development and delivery of key organisational strategies and programmes.

Working closely with the Executive Director of Client Services and fellow Service Directors, you will build strong internal and external relationships to deliver value for money and support an integrated supported housing service that meets residents' housing and support needs.

Flexible working

We support flexible and agile working. The role is London-based, with an expectation of working from our Central Office at least two days per week to support collaboration, leadership, training and relationship-building. Our Central Office is currently located in Tower Hill and is scheduled to relocate to a new space in Farringdon in summer 2026.

About you

You will bring substantial senior-level experience of leading property or asset management functions, with a proven ability to provide strategic leadership across asset management, compliance and service delivery. A strong understanding of the legislative and regulatory framework within a supported or social housing environment will be essential, alongside a track record of developing and delivering asset management and sustainability strategies and complex improvement programmes.

Significant experience of financial planning, budgeting and performance management will underpin your approach, with clear evidence of driving value for money and effective use of assets. You will be an engaging and credible leader, able to motivate high-performing teams and communicate clearly at senior level, including with Boards and external stakeholders. Strong influencing and relationship-building skills, resilience under pressure and a commitment to involving residents in service improvement will be central to your success, alongside a genuine alignment with St Mungo's purpose and values.
