• Working collaboratively with colleagues in repairs, maintenance and compliance
• Acting as a trusted source of housing expertise across the organisation
• Driving improvement through high-quality performance reporting, coaching and cultural leadership
• Leading on ensuring all Housing Policies and Procedures are up to date and comply with statutory regulations
• Championing excellent customer experience in environments where individuals may have vulnerable needs, requiring a compassionate and adaptable approach

We're looking for an experienced housing professional with a strong track record in supported housing environments. You'll bring deep knowledge of housing law, sector regulation and risk management along with the emotional intelligence, resilience and customer focus to lead in a values-driven organisation.

• Lead a core operational function in a respected housing, care & support provider
• Be part of an inclusive, forward-thinking organisation with a strong social mission
