You will provide strategic leadership across Housing Management, Enhanced Housing Management and Housing Related Support, working with Regional Operations Managers, Location Managers, housing partners and resident representatives to embed compliant, evidence-based and resident-centred practice across our integrated retirement communities.

You will also lead on regulatory assurance, complaints oversight and landlord responsibilities as a Registered Provider, ensuring we can demonstrate compliance, respond consistently and use resident insight to drive continuous improvement

• A collaborative leadership style, with the ability to influence, advise and support teams across multiple locations.

What you will be doing?

• Act as the strategic lead for social housing regulatory compliance, ensuring the Trust understands and delivers against RSH Consumer Standards and related requirements.
• Develop and maintain an effective housing compliance and assurance framework, including evidence gathering, monitoring, reporting and escalation of risks and improvement areas.
• Lead the interpretation and implementation of Consumer Standards across relevant services, including safety and quality, tenancy management, transparency, influence and accountability, neighbourhood and community expectations, and complaints learning.
• Support locations with effective tenancy management, including sign-ups, breaches, anti-social behaviour, safeguarding concerns, notice periods and terminations, in line with legislation, policy and good practice.
• Build strong relationships with housing partners, ensuring services meet the standards our residents expect and deserve.
• Keep up to date with social housing legislation, regulatory requirements, the Housing Ombudsman Complaint Handling Code and good practice, ensuring changes are reflected in policy, training, guidance and service delivery.
• Provide clear assurance to senior leaders and governance forums on compliance, resident experience, complaints themes, tenant satisfaction and improvement actions.
• Lead the effective running of Resident Forums, including agenda planning, liaison with Chairs and Vice Chairs, minutes, communications and promotion.
