You’ll work with partners across health, the VCS and registered providers to unlock sustainable solutions.

Improved TA quality, cost control and move‑on pathways that shorten stays and improve outcomes

Culture and ways of working that are data‑informed, collaborative and future‑focused
Significant, innovative contributions to the Councils Transformation Programme
About you You’re a credible senior leader in housing policy with strong technical foundations and a flair for exploring new ideas and challenging your teams to think differently. You design services around real demand, influence complex systems and bring teams with you through change. You’re innovative and pragmatic, visible with residents and partners across both boroughs, and you want the scale, support and platform to do the best work of your career.
