Lead the transformation of homes and communities, become our Housing Asset Manager.

We’re putting more funding, care, and energy into our housing services to better serve our communities. We’re expanding our teams, strengthening our commitment to quality homes, and creating exciting new roles that offer the chance to make a real difference.

Whether you're passionate about improving services, supporting tenants, or shaping the future of housing, you’ll be part of a team that’s driven by purpose, collaboration, and care. These roles are more than jobs they’re opportunities to help build safer, stronger, and more connected communities.

Are you ready to take charge of a high-impact role that blends strategic leadership, sustainability, and service excellence? As our Housing Asset Manager, you’ll be at the forefront of driving investment, innovation, and improvement across the Council’s housing stock and assets within the Housing Revenue Account (HRA).

This is your opportunity to lead a talented Investment team, champion the Council’s social housing decarbonisation agenda, and ensure our homes meet the highest standards of energy efficiency, safety, and quality. From overseeing procurement and managing contracts to shaping long-term strategies and delivering customer-centric services, your leadership will directly influence the future of housing in our communities.

What you will do:

• Ensuring our homes meet Decent Homes Standards through proactive data led Capital Investment Programmes
• Oversee Aids and Adaptations helping tenants to stay in their homes for longer
• Supporting the development and delivery of the Council’s decarbonisation programme
• Managing energy efficiency data and ensuring compliance with consumer standards
• Leading and developing the Investment team to meet performance targets and KPIs
• Overseeing procurement and contract management in line with legislation and Council policies
• Ensuring health and safety standards are met across all partnering relationships and housing projects

What you’ll bring:

• Proven experience managing asset investment and contract management in a complex, diverse environment—ideally within the housing sector
• A degree or equivalent qualification in a building or construction-related discipline
• A passion for sustainability, innovation, and delivering value for money
• The ability to lead teams, manage risk, and contribute to strategic planning at a corporate level

If you’re ready to make a difference, drive change, and lead with purpose this is the role for you.
