  • Is a highly visible and inclusive leader with a proven track record of success at senior executive level.
  • Has a thorough knowledge of the housing sector and a comprehensive understanding of its regulatory landscape.
  • Thrives on driving transformational change and ensuring the customer's voice is at the heart of everything we do.
  • Demonstrates strong business acumen, financial literacy and the ability to ensure our long-term sustainability through effective governance and risk management.
  • Leads with integrity, inspires confidence and shares our commitment to diversity, inclusion, and service excellence.

While we embrace flexible working, our modern, state-of-the-art head office in Horsham, West Sussex, provides an inspiring environment for collaboration and innovation, and there is a high expectation of your visibility on site.
