Job description

Head of Housing Strategy, Quality and Assurance

Join to apply for the Head of Housing Strategy, Quality and Assurance role at Solace

Our borough is beginning a huge transformation. With ambitious regeneration plans, a need for new infrastructure, and plenty of investment on the way, things are changing. We are transforming our organisation to be better equipped to have the greatest impact for our community. We need leaders to take us on the journey.

In a period of intense demand for housing across London, this role is absolutely crucial in leading our strategic planning for housing supply, managing demand and addressing homelessness. You’ll play a central role in identifying and delivering solutions for immediate needs while also looking further ahead to assess how demand will change over the coming years and decades and develop strategies that enable the Council to adapt and respond.

You’ll collaborate with leaders in Social Care, Education, Public Health and Economic Development to develop a rounded strategic appreciation of the current and future agenda. You’ll lead on the development of long‑term strategies around housing demand and supply—considering issues such as acquisition, building of new homes, and the role of the private rental sector—and work in partnership with key partners within the borough and across London, including housing associations, the GLA and our neighbouring boroughs.

This role requires an in‑depth and current knowledge of the sector and the housing market in the south‑east, complemented by the ability to operate at a corporate level, seeing connections between housing need and other strategic priorities for the Council. Strong communication and presentation skills will be vital in translating complex evaluation and data into strategy recommendations that are accessible and meaningful to different audiences.
