Summary

Senior Housing Leaders | Oxfordshire & Surrounding Areas

I'm looking forward to speaking with experienced senior housing professionals across Oxfordshire and the surrounding region about potential interim and permanent opportunities coming into the new year.

I'd be particularly interested in hearing from Senior Managers, Heads of Service and Directors with experience across:

Housing Management and Neighbourhood Services

Tenancy Management and Tenancy Sustainment

Income Management and tenancy arrears

ASB and safeguarding

Resident and Customer Services

Supported Housing

Service improvement and transformation

Regulatory compliance and performance

What I'm looking for

Ideally, you'll have experience leading large housing or neighbourhood services, with responsibility for operational teams, service performance and budgets.For the more senior opportunities, experience of developing housing strategies, policies and procedures, managing managers and multidisciplinary teams, and working with senior internal and external stakeholders will be particularly valuable.You'll also need a strong understanding of the current social housing environment, including areas such as consumer standards, tenancy management, safeguarding, ASB, vulnerability and tenancy sustainment.Experience working within a housing association, local authority or other Registered Provider would be particularly relevant.

Qualifications

A relevant professional qualification such as CIH Level 4/5, Chartered Institute of Housing membership, or a relevant Housing/Management qualification would be advantageous, although strong senior-level sector experience will also be considered.I'm keen to speak with people who can demonstrate:

Strong leadership and people management

Managing and improving housing services

Performance and KPI management

Budget management

Partnership and stakeholder management

Knowledge of housing regulation and legislation

Experience handling complex or high-risk housing services

A track record of service improvement and change

You don't need to be actively looking. If you're considering a move in the new year or would simply like to understand what opportunities may be coming up across the region, I'd be happy to have a confidential conversation.

Both interim and permanent candidates are of interest.
