· lead robust, high-quality, person-centred housing management and support for all residents in line with regulations.

The new Director of Housing and Communities will be an experienced housing professional with extensive knowledge of housing legislation, regulation, and housing finance delivered in a customer focused environment. Residents will always be their 'community of first priority' and the new Director will also promote exciting and innovative community building and resident wellbeing activities within our schemes.

You will ideally have experience of working with older people and will have been involved in the development of supported housing.
