There is never a dull moment in Local Government and certainly not in housing. This is an opportunity to lead an exciting next chapter for Melton’s Housing Asset Team, staying true to our mission of Helping People, Shaping Places. With our recent C2 grading from the Regulator of Social Housing following a proactive inspection, we have confidence in our journey so far and in the plans we have to enter the next chapter for housing at Melton Borough Council.  

 This is an important management role with responsibility for ensuring high quality, decent and safe housing for council tenants, with services that focus on positive outcomes for tenants and demonstrate good value for money. The role will lead the core housing asset functions of the council, ensuring excellent outcomes for customers.   

 As part of our Housing Leadership Team, the role will directly support the Assistant Director of Housing Quality, Development and Landlord Services. The role will have responsibility for ensuring that our homes are managed in line with good, data led, asset management principles. The role will oversee the management and performance of responsive repairs, planned maintenance, building safety compliance and cyclical programme functions. 

About you 

 We are looking for someone that has extensive experience of asset management, preferably in a social housing environment. But this is more than just a property role, we are looking for someone that can really demonstrate how they have listened to the views of tenants and then implemented service changes and enhancements in response to this feedback. 

 You will have a good knowledge of asset management principles and be able to demonstrate how you have applied these to a housing stock. A good applied understanding of legislation and regulation surrounding assets, including building safety compliance, is essential. 

 You will be able to plan over a long term period, including short and long term, evidence based, budget setting. Enhanced contract management skills, and knowledge of different contract types, is required.  

 We continue to adapt and improve our housing function in line with tenant feedback and the requirements of regulation. You will have experience of leading and managing change in an organisation, providing the team with the support that they need to ensure this has a real impact and is embedded. You will be able to provide clear updates on progress and performance to a wide range of stakeholders. 

 Ideally you will have a level 4 housing qualification, or the ability and commitment to starting this within a three-year period. Ideally you will have a construction or property-based qualification and relevant membership to a chartered body. You are required to have access to your own vehicle insured for business purposes, with a full UK driving licence.
