About the role

Lead the Change. Redefine Our Service.

At Hillingdon Council, we aren’t just restructuring and changing titles; we are fundamentally changing the way we deliver our services. We are looking for a Neighbourhood Manager ready to move beyond "business as usual" and lead a new era of tenant services.

You will guide a dedicated team of 5 Neighbourhood Officers and 1 Tenancy Sustainment Officer. Your mission is to transform how this team operates – moving away from 'process-driven' to 'people-driven'. We are looking for partners in this journey, moving from reactive management to proactive, tenant-centric service. We need a leader who can drive high performance not just through metrics, but by instilling a culture where every decision puts the tenant at the heart of what we do. If you are ready to shape the future of our neighbourhoods, we want to hear from you.

In return, we offer you a real future. Housing is a career with lots of diverse options and paths to take. We will invest in you to achieve your potential, and ensure you are supported in your personal development with options like Multiverse courses and a CIH qualification.

• Generous Holiday Entitlement – increasing with length of service (for non‑casual roles).
• Hillingdon Sports & Leisure – Stay active and healthy with discounts at council‑owned leisure centres and swimming pools across the borough.
• Salary Sacrifice Schemes – option to join schemes for cycle purchase, electric vehicle leasing and additional voluntary pension contributions (subject to scheme rules).
• Cycle to Work – Eco‑friendly commuting with our cycle purchase scheme. We also provide bicycle parking, lockers, and showers at the Civic Centre.
• Local Government Pension Scheme – access to Local Government Pension Scheme and membership to the Credit Union.
• Vivup Benefits – Access a variety of offers and discounts through our Vivup Benefits.
• Mental Health Support and Counselling Services – Our mental health first aiders are trained to identify, understand, and help employees experiencing mental health issues. Access free 24‑hour confidential advice and counselling as well as a legal advice service for you and your immediate family.
• Travel Support – Make your daily commute easier with our season ticket loans and free car parking.
