Bridge - Head of Housing

2 weeks ago


Bradford, Bradford, United Kingdom Bradford Metropolitan District Council Full time
Job Introduction

The Bridge Project has been working in Bradford for over 40 years, supporting individuals, families and communities to improve people's lives in a sustainable way, recognising that solutions are often complex. We have a strong staff team of 115 dedicated individuals who address a range of issues such as homelessness, substance misuse, sex working, offending, and provide quality supported housing to around 30 people.

We are now seeking a proactive and experienced housing professional to lead on the acquisition, management, and compliance of our supported housing portfolio. This role will support the Bridge Project's mission and strategic goal, of expanding its housing stock and becoming a registered provider of social housing.

The postholder will be responsible for property acquisitions (purchase and leasing), asset management, and landlord safety compliance across Bridge's housing services. They will ensure all homes are tenancy-ready, safe, and fully compliant with required legislation and requirements including the Decent Home Standard and the Housing Health and Safety Rating system (HHSRS).

This role is pivotal to our growth and journey towards registered provider registration. Over the next two years, our asset portfolio is expected to expand to around 80 units, and the postholder will lead the development of a robust asset management and compliance framework to support that growth.

Because of our size, the postholder will cover a variety of responsibilities that in larger providers would be divided across several teams. This makes the role ideally suited to someone with a housing background and a sound knowledge of housing or property compliance, proven leadership skills, and experience of governance or assurance, who is now ready to take the next step in their career, supporting and growing with us. The post holder will be working closely with the Executive Team and governance groups.

In return, as well as a rewarding career, we can offer a competitive salary, 4% pension contribution, generous annual leave entitlement, an L&D programme, employee assistance scheme, life insurance, a monthly team wellbeing session and a programme of mindfulness activities for staff. The Bridge Project is a Mindful Employer.
