An exciting opportunity has arisen for an Executive Director of Public Impact to join our client. Our client supports housing organisations across the country.

After years of campaigning, the government’s recent Spending Review delivered a transformational package of funding for social housing. It will enable our client to deliver the biggest social housebuilding programme since the post-war period and to better protect existing social homes. It couldn’t be a more exciting time to join their organisation.

Over the coming years, they’ll be a key partner in helping the government achieve its housebuilding targets, delivering long-term benefits to residents and communities.

They also have exciting plans to boost the public’s understanding of the sector and ensure that housing associations are seen as an employer of choice.

This is a chance for someone with significant leadership experience and a real interest in social housing, public affairs and policy to join our client and help make those ambitions a reality. You will find great colleagues and a brilliant team, and you will get the opportunity to work on some of the toughest (and most interesting) social, economic and policy issues in the country.

Quite simply, this role is one of the best jobs in housing! It’s challenging, rewarding and thought-provoking, giving you the chance to make a real difference.

If this sounds like you, our client would love to hear from you.

Equality, diversity and inclusion

Our client is proud to be an inclusive workplace, and they value the contribution each individual makes to their work. They are champions of diversity and encourage and welcome applications from people with the widest possible range of backgrounds, personal or professional.

Disability confident employer

Our client is a disability confident employer, and if you are a disabled person who meets the skills and experience they consider essential for the role, they will offer you an interview.

Please note: there may be occasions where it is not practicable or appropriate to interview all disabled people who meet the minimum criteria for the job. In certain recruitment situations such as high volumes of applications, our client may be required to limit the overall number of interviews offered to both disabled people and non-disabled people.

In these circumstances, they will select the disabled candidates who best meet the minimum criteria for the job rather than all of those that meet the minimum criteria, as they would do for non-disabled applicants. This is in line with the Disability Confident guidelines.

Our client is happy to consider reasonable adjustments to their recruitment process if you have a disability or have a condition that you feel may affect your performance during the recruitment process. Please email their team with your request or to arrange a time to discuss in more detail (contact details will be provided after you select the apply button).
