**Head of Area South, Housing and Land**

**Job reference number**:GLA 2845, SAP Number 52558787
**Contract type**: Fixed Term to cover Shared Parental Leave (a secondment can be considered, as can fixed term contracts)
**Closing date**: Sunday the 19th of February 2023 at 23:59 GMT
**Potential Interview dates**:Likely to be from the 1st of March 2023
**Salary**: £93,739 (base point grade 14) per annum
**Grade**: 14 (member of Directorate Leadership Team, and the Senior Leadership Team for the GLA)

**Job arrangements**: This position is full time (37 hours a week). You will be anchored at London’s City Hall (Kamal Chunchie Way) but also work from the GLA’s secondary office (169 Union Street). GLA staff are hybrid working with an average of 2-3 days a week in the office; although reasonable adjustments can of course be considered if appropriate, an office presence for 2 - 3 days a week to provide leadership is an important part of this role.

**Meeting the Mayor’s targets for housing**

The housing crisis is one of the greatest challenges facing the capital - and the Mayor of London has ambitious plans to tackle it. The Greater London Authority (GLA) is working hard to make genuinely affordable homes a reality for more people. The scale of the challenge is huge, but so is our commitment. Together we can build a London for everyone.

**The opportunity**

This is a great opportunity to become a key member of the Housing and Land directorate’s senior management team, working closely with senior stakeholders across the housing and regeneration sector in London. You will play a leading role in the delivery of the Mayor’s Housing Strategy and Affordable Housing Programme, and associated investments. The portfolio you will be responsible for will be across London, with a particular focus on South London. You will work closely with Boroughs, registered providers and others to develop their housing and regeneration ambitions to meet the Mayor’s housing targets. This means you will use commercial awareness and strong programme management skills to identify and manage delivery risks within your portfolio, and proactively seek opportunities for increasing delivery. This is an opportunity to lead and develop the high-performing South Area Team. You will be a key contributor to the development of GLA housing policy and practice, and provide support to the Assistant Director and Executive Director in delivering GLA’s corporate objectives.

**The person**

We’re looking for someone with senior management-level experience of leading complex, high-impact and large-scale programmes. Expertise in housing, property, infrastructure, regeneration or a similar field with significant senior level experience of delivering major programmes will be expected. We will be looking for someone with the ability to provide high level programme and project analysis, and who is comfortable analysing commercial risks and opportunities. Operating in a complex, political environment, resilience and adaptability will be key, and it should be said we have a supportive culture and structure to help this work for you. In particular you will have the ability to provide impartial advice to senior officers and politicians.

Excellent written and oral communication skills, a well-informed and creative approach to problem solving will be important for this role. As this post is in the senior management team of Housing and Land (and the GLA), the ability to manage and motivate a team of staff in a performance-oriented culture is key, as your team will be expected to deliver work programmes in line with departmental aims and objectives.

**Key skills, experience and behaviours**

Knowledge of London’s housing sector is strongly desirable but not essential. We want to understand how your skills and experience are relevant to this work, regardless of your professional background. So please submit a supporting statement that uses specific examples to demonstrate how you meet the following criteria from the job description and person specification:

- Evidence of significant senior level experience of delivering major programmes, including high level programme and project analysis, planning and management skills
- Ability to lead, manage and motivate team members, ensuring work programmes are delivered in line with set team and departmental aims and objectives.
- Ability to build rapport and work effectively with a diverse range of people, sharing knowledge and skills to deliver shared goals.
- Ability to form sound, evidence-based judgements; making choices, assessing risks to delivery, and taking accountability for results.
- Ability to provide impartial advice to senior officers and politicians and of operating in a complex politica
