We are looking for a new Executive Director, Housing Services to lead our rented and leasehold housing operations and shape our housing and customer service functions, developing and implementing a comprehensive new model that will modernise our service portfolio and support our wider corporate strategy. As part of a wider leadership team, you will play a critical role in increasing the number of options available to older people in a post-covid world and responding to a backdrop of changing risks and opportunities arising from economic, digital and regulatory pressures.

You will be an experienced and decisive leader who is values driven.

Whatever your background, you will bring experience that will prepare you to lead effectively in a substantial and complex multi-site organisation with high levels of integrity, emotional intelligence and resilience.

We are committed to building a truly diverse workforce at Anchor Hanover. If you share our commitment to this, bring the skills and leadership qualities we are seeking and are excited by our vision for a new future for older people, we look forward to hearing from you.
