York, United Kingdom City of York Council Full time

Job title: Assistant Director of Housing

Location: York / Hybrid

Contract: Full-time / Permanent

Salary: £81,174 - £89,956 per annum plus relocation support

Employer: City of York Council

Welcome and thank you for your interest in learning more about City of York Council and our pivotal Assistant Director of Housing role.

We are passionate about making sure that we provide the best quality of life for all our 204,000 plus residents, both now and in the future. There is a huge amount to be proud of in our beautiful and historic city, including the fact that the majority of our residents are generally healthy and are living well. However, this is not the case for everyone – and so our focus is on working alongside communities and partners, supporting those who need us most so that everyone in York enjoys the best possible health and wellbeing.

 

We are looking for a leader who shares these core values - who is just as ambitious for the people of York as they are for themselves; has a passion for driving improvements; can form collaborative partnerships with many different stakeholders; knows how to work efficiently within a defined budget; through prevention, early intervention and innovation manages demand and all the while can inspire and encourage their own team to flourish and prosper.

It is vital that we make the best of the resources we have and that we invest in the mental and physical health of our communities and ensure safe and affordable housing for all. You will be working alongside colleagues in across the Council, North Yorkshire Council, and York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority, Housing and Communities Directorate as well as our partner organisations in the housing and health sectors to make this happen, leading the way in making the most of our partnerships with community organisations and volunteering across York.

Reporting to the Director of Housing & Communities, as our new Assistant Director of Housing you will lead on the Housing portfolio, ensuring that all residents of our beautiful city have access to safe, affordable housing and will play a key part in developing and delivering housing services for the public and vulnerable people. You will work closely with the combined authority and other local partners. You will be responsible for managing and spearheading the Housing provision and ensuring strict standards are maintained at all times, ensuring we meet housing regulations now and as they develop into the future. It is an exciting time to join City of York Council as we strive towards ‘one public estate’. We are imminently getting a local plan approved which will release housing properties across the city. You will be a key stakeholder for this initiative.

You will find that the role will provide you with the kind of professional challenge and complexity you will naturally aspire to as an ambitious housing leader - our size means that we are large enough to provide the rich mix of complexities facing local government, but at the same time we are small enough to enable you to get things done. So, this high-profile role will provide you with the opportunity to make a significant difference as well as a platform to enhance your career.

If you are interested in joining our team and are inspired to help lead the next phase of our journey, we look forward to your application.
