Gateway Housing Association in an ambitious housing association with 3,000 homes in the heart of London’s East End. Operating mostly in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, we have been supporting communities to thrive since 1926.

Our vision is for our residents, stakeholders, and colleagues to know us for the quality of our homes and services. We want people to want to live in a Gateway home and are committed to provide great homes for people in East London.

Following the excellent leadership of our current Chief Executive, Kate Dodsworth, we are firmly looking to the future, guided by our Unlocking Performance Strategy. We are not only looking for our new Chief Executive to continue to lead us on our current path, but to forge the next phase for Gateway.

With a strong and stable financial base, our new Chief Executive will continue to drive tangible improvements in our services to deliver excellence in customer service, ensuring our residents voice is at the heart of all strategies, policies, and decisions. You will deliver our growth ambitions of building a further 390 homes, and you will not wait for legislation to do the right thing, embedding a compliance ‘plus’ mindset and culture across all our operations. Working collaboratively with the Board, all staff, and many external stakeholders, you will lead our organisation to deliver our plans through a single culture and vision.

We are looking for a special kind of leader to take us into our future. You will have extensive knowledge and experience of the affordable housing sector and have a customer first approach to everything that you do. You will know how to forge meaningful and lasting relationships with stakeholders and understand the working collaboratively will always achieve more. You will have experience of leading a business and a mindset that embraces innovation and change, and the ambition to do things better.

We are Leadership 2025 Diversity Champions. The Board and Executive Management Team has committed to an aspirational target of 50% recruitment of women and/or BAME candidates.
