About The Role
This is an important leadership role for colleagues who want to make a meaningful difference in communities that may be spread out or have fewer natural points of connection. As a Locality Lead, you’ll have clear ownership for the customer experience across your patch — making sure services are coordinated, responsive and easy to access, regardless of geography. Working closely with the Head of Area, you’ll support the delivery of the wider Area Plan while championing the needs, insights and experiences of customers in your locality. You’ll bring colleagues together across housing, income, lettings, repairs and community activity to make sure the service feels seamless, personal and proactive.

- Strengthening relationships with customers and local partners, building trust even where communities are more spread out.
- Sharing learning and insight with other Places and Localities to support continuous improvement across the wider region.
