We truly believe that this is a very exciting time to be joining Paradigm. Our objective is that Paradigm should be an exemplar organisation in our sector and our new Corporate Plan sets out our increased emphasis on delivering excellent services.

With a remit that includes directing how we gather customer insight and distil it into clear and targeted actions, you will have the opportunity to have a real and lasting impact.

You should be an ambitious, ‘can do’ individual with a background in customer facing operations, with the skills to provide the overall direction and vitally be able to translate strategy into action. You will be committed to ensuring that our approach to engaging residents and delivering services is consistent with both the letter and the spirit of the principles set out in the Social Housing White Paper, the Together with Tenants Charter and the new NHF code of governance.  You will know what risks and opportunities might be coming over the horizon and helps us create an environment where our services and culture are truly customer led. You will be comfortable setting a course for success in an ever-changing environment, balancing your drive for achieving the aims in our Corporate Plan with your skills in teamworking and communication across and through the business.
