Central London, United Kingdom The Leasehold Advisory Service Full time

We are seeking an enthusiastic and highly motivated individual to fill the vital role of Chief Operating Officer for LEASE the Leasehold Advisory Service.

The postholder will:

  • play a central role in the transformation of LEASE - from an organisation providing limited front-line legal advice to one that actively explores and champions better outcomes for the 5 million people that own leasehold homes in England. This is a radical programme of change that will make LEASE the go-to place for leaseholders and will require a significant rise in the profile of the organisation.
  • report directly to the (jobshare) Chief Executives (CEs), and deputise for them when required.
  • be responsible for overseeing the overall programme of change - including the digital transformation, a new target operating model (reflecting LEASEs enhanced role), and a new people plan.

  • make more informed decisions about their homes;
  • improve their general knowledge, education and understanding of the practical implications of being a long leaseholder, common holder or park home owner;
  • increase their awareness and understanding of all relevant UK and Welsh government information, legislation and reforms - including those matters relating to the building safety and fire safety legislation.

In addition to this Government has set LEASE an ambitious new remit which includes playing a consumer champion role for leaseholders by using our expert knowledge to help advise the UK and Welsh governments in law making and policy and playing more of a convening role with other organisations in the leaseholder and park home sector.
