Are you looking for a new challenge?

 

Are you hands-on and passionate about your work?

 

Would you like the opportunity to showcase your skills and make a difference to local people?

 

If this sounds like you, this could be the perfect role for you.

 

About us…

 

We are a small, not-for-profit, community-based housing association with just over 440 homes most of which are in Sefton.

 

We are a pro-active and financially stable organisation providing a variety of general needs and supported housing. We pride ourselves on being a dynamic team who make a difference and provide excellent customer service to our tenants and stakeholders

 

We are a small team, and you can expect variety in the role and close working relationships with colleagues and Board members. You will also have opportunities to influence policy and service delivery.

 

As an equal opportunities’ employer, we value diversity and strive to achieve dignity at work.

 

About you…

 

We’re looking for a confident and values-led leader who can inspire teams and bring out the best in people, particularly in a fast-moving and evolving environment. You’ll be someone who embraces change, brings fresh thinking, and is comfortable leading both strategically and operationally.


You’ll need to be experienced in managing and developing staff, with a strong focus on performance, service delivery and continuous improvement. You’ll be organised, resilient, and able to remain calm under pressure while managing competing priorities across a complex service area.


Strong communication skills are essential, along with the ability to build trusted relationships with colleagues, residents, contractors and stakeholders at all levels.


You’ll be customer-focused, with a commitment to delivering high-quality, safe and compliant homes.


We’re looking for someone who is driven and forward-thinking, confident using data and insight to inform decisions, solve problems and deliver value for money. You’ll play a key role in shaping services, improving performance and helping the organisation meet its strategic objectives.


You will lead by example, promoting collaboration, accountability and a culture of continuous learning, ensuring a high-performing, responsive and modern service.


Ideally, you will have a relevant professional qualification (such as CIH, RICS or similar) or significant experience operating at a senior level within asset management, compliance or property services. However, if you can demonstrate a strong track record of delivering in these areas, we’d still love to hear from you.
