Job Details

One of two roles currently being recruited for this major metropolitan authority, this exciting interim assignment requires an experienced Social Housing leader with a particular interest in combating the challenges of Housing Options and Homelessness in an era of increasing populations and economic challenge, particularly in light of the challenges faced by Covid-19. Working closely with a committed and passionate Managing director of Housing, you’ll help shape and deliver the vision for this service and leave a positive legacy for years to come.

The assignment will firstly require someone to understanding the strengths and weaknesses of the service as it stands, and work with Housing leadership to prioritise transformation and improvement across the service, while maintaining the live service and supporting those most in need.

If you match that brief – we’d love to hear from you. Please send a resume and covering note as soon as possible.
