We’ve called this role the Executive Business Support Manager, because ‘Superhero’ isn’t an official job title. But that’s not going to stop us looking for someone with a few in-built superpowers!

You might not have thought of housing as a career (yet), but we reckon this fabulous new role might be worth popping on the kettle, brewing a nice mug of Yorkshire Tea, and reading on… 

We thrive on feeling a little uncomfortable when it comes to setting ourselves goals. That’s why we are aiming to become the UK’s best housing provider. We’re on the road to revolutionising our service offer and we’re putting our customers’ experience at the very heart of our plans. And that’s not just a cliché – we’re obsessed with doing things brilliantly for our customers and our 850 colleagues. With over 18,000 homes (and more in the pipeline), we’re on-track with our growth plan to build 8,000 new homes across God’s own county of Yorkshire.

Here’s the deal.

We’re looking for someone who is ready to take a leap forward in their Executive Support career to play a lead role in how we run our business. They’ll be the right-hand person to the Chief Executive and Executive Team, wearing many different hats to run our Executive Office, manage projects and co-ordinate and connect people internally and externally. 

The skills needed for this role could come from all sorts of backgrounds. What’s important will be in-built ability to multi-task, organise, trouble-shoot and adapt quickly to whatever the day brings, alongside top-notch communication skills and the initiative to anticipate what’s needed to support the team, our customers and stakeholders.

Sounding good? 

You’ll also take ownership for planning key pieces of work and executive meeting agendas – joining the dots to make sure key activities are covered and time is spent on the right things at the right times. And while this role will certainly be busy, you’ll embrace our love of making work fun – it’s one of our five Yorkshire Housing values after all. 

What’s in it for me? 

A salary of £50,000, 27 days annual leave (rising annually to 30 days), health cash-plan, matched pension contributions up to 9%, just to name a few.  

We have a flexible approach to work so living in Yorkshire isn’t a requirement of the role (although we’ll expect to see a fair bit of you here!).   

Our working environment is inclusive as well as diverse. We believe difference is what makes us stronger and recognise the importance of our teams reflecting the communities we serve, so we welcome and encourage candidates from all backgrounds for this role.
