Assistant Director Housing, Health and Communities

If you have a flair for delivering improvement in a housing setting, you will want to pay close attention to this opportunity. We are looking for a highly capable and professionally
qualified housing expert to lead on our Housing Strategy and the management of our housing stock of circa 2,800 homes. It's a time of change in the service, so as well as your comprehensive understanding of the current and emerging legal and regulatory framework for housing, you should also be able to demonstrate how you have led cultural change to place customers firmly at the heart of the service.

Your recent experience could be in a local authority or housing association setting and while the primary focus of the role is the delivery of social housing, you will also lead on other key service areas that include Environmental Health and Community Safety. As the most senior housing professional in the council, you will report directly into the Chief Executive and, as well as leading on your own directorate, you will be a full member of the Corporate Management Team, contributing to the strategic direction of the council overall.
