Director of Housing Services
This job is brought to you by Jobs/Redefined, the UK's leading over-50s age inclusive jobs board.
The spotlight on LA housing has never been sharper. We know it's a tough environment, but it is also hugely fulfilling, because you get to make a positive impact across thousands of lives. And in this case your influence will be felt right across a dynamic, diverse, and vibrant city. So, while this is big role (a portfolio of 38,000 homes) it is also a post where the value and potential of high-quality housing is very well understood and anchored within an ambitious strategic framework.
We seek a senior professional who brings extensive experience of housing or property management including repairs (or both) gained in either a LA or RP setting, with a track record of delivery that includes turning around service quality, and importantly ensuring your residents, staff and other stakeholders are bought into to making that journey with you.
The regulatory landscape is rightly shaped around safety and engagement. At Sheffield, you will find a Council that is focused on those things too. Not to earn a regulatory stamp of approval, but because they know those are the building blocks for affordable housing to be purposeful. If you share our rounded view of what housing can and should deliver, providing people with warm, safe, and high-quality homes; supporting communities and neighbourhoods to thrive and prosper; and ensuring there is equity in access to opportunity and aspiration, then we would love to hear from you.

We are investing in our workforce and are promoting opportunities to our under-represented groups.

We are also supporting staff with unpaid caring responsibilities to work flexibly.
It is a great time to join us and we welcome your application.
