Divisional Managing Director - Repairs or Voids Location: Northern Home Counties / East Midlands Border (with regional and national travel) Salary: 200,000- 220,000 base + performance bonus Total Package Potential: 300,000 (including performance bonus, car allowance, healthcare, and executive benefits) About the Business This is a rare opportunity to join a fast-growing, privately owned property services company delivering responsive repairs, maintenance, and refurbishment services across the UK. The business has built an exceptional reputation through a clear, results-focused formula: operational excellence, accountability, and pace. It has evolved from its regional roots into a nationally recognised player, trusted by major social housing providers, local authorities, and large-scale student accommodation operators. The company continues to expand nationally while retaining the family values, transparency, and "can-do" attitude that underpin its success. This is not a corporate environment - it is a high-performance, entrepreneurial business that values action, ownership, and delivery. Decisions are made quickly. Leaders are expected to be visible, engaged, and operationally involved. It's a culture built on credibility through results, where respect is earned through delivery, not title. The Opportunity The Divisional Managing Director - Repairs or Voids will take full operational and commercial leadership of one of the company's largest business areas. Reporting to the Managing Director, you will oversee multiple regions, contracts, and customer portfolios, ensuring service excellence, profitability, and performance consistency across the division. You will lead and develop a team of Business Unit Directors, Contract Managers, and operational delivery leaders, mentoring and coaching them to strengthen capability and ensure succession as the business extends its national reach. This is a high-visibility operational leadership role, not a detached strategic post. You will be regularly in the field, with teams and clients, diagnosing performance issues early, resolving service challenges, and reinforcing delivery standards. You will personally drive service improvement, customer satisfaction, and workforce engagement while maintaining commercial control. You will act as the operational heartbeat of the business - setting the tone for pace, standards, and accountability, and ensuring that our client's reputation for reliability and responsiveness continues to set it apart from competitors. Ideal Candidate You are an operational leader first and foremost - commercially astute, decisive, and hands-on. You have come up through the ranks, led front-line delivery, and now oversee large service operations where quality, customer outcomes, and financial performance are measured daily. You lead through credibility and presence, not position. You take ownership, build trust, and are at your best where the pressure is high and results are visible. You'll bring a track record of running multi-million-pound business units or divisions, leading large, distributed operational teams, and delivering measurable improvement in customer satisfaction, service reliability, and profitability. Relevant Backgrounds You will come from a service-based, operationally intensive industry where success depends on visible leadership, measurable delivery, and client trust. Potential source sectors include: Facilities Management (FM): Managing reactive and planned maintenance, field teams, and SLA-driven contracts. Property Maintenance, Engineering, or Construction Services: Multi-trade or M&E repairs and refurbishment across housing, commercial, or student accommodation portfolios. Utilities or Infrastructure Services: Large-scale, regulated field operations with high compliance and customer-impact sensitivity. Outsourced Service Providers (with tangible delivery operations): Multi-contract businesses where service quality and responsiveness directly drive retention and growth. Third-Party Contract Logistics / Supply Chain Operations: Multi-site, time-critical delivery environments with full P&L and people accountability. Multi-Site Manufacturing, Production, or Automotive Services (with technical or trades workforces): Operational leadership across multiple plants or service centres, focused on performance, productivity, and quality. Aviation MRO or Complex Multi-Site Technical Services: Maintenance and repair environments requiring pace, precision, and compliance. Each of these environments demands what our client values most: pace, accountability, operational ownership, and high-trust leadership that drives people and performance. The Person Proven ability to lead large, front-line teams and manage multi-million-pound P&Ls. Hands-on, visible, and engaged - a leader who earns credibility on the ground. Skilled in troubleshooting and operational problem-solving; proactive in addressing performance and client issues. Strong communicator and relationship-builder with clients, partners, and internal teams. Experienced in mentoring and developing senior managers and operational leaders. Commercially disciplined - able to balance service quality with efficiency and cost control. Resilient, pragmatic, and unflustered under pressure. Straightforward, clear, and consistent in expectations and decision-making. You will lead from the front, inspire confidence through action, and bring a winning mindset to every challenge. Selection Process & Expectations This appointment is business-critical and will involve an intensive, multi-stage selection process. Candidates should expect to demonstrate tangible, evidence-based achievements at each stage. We are seeking proven winners - operational leaders who can clearly show how they have delivered measurable improvements in: Service and operational performance Business growth and margin improvement People development and succession planning Customer satisfaction and retention Supporting commercial teams to secure and retain contracts through outstanding delivery Applicants who can provide specific, quantifiable examples of where they have achieved these results will be prioritised. This is a role for a doer, not a talker - a leader who leads by example and produces results through visibility, accountability, and action. What's on Offer Base Salary: 200,000 - 220,000 Performance Bonus: Based on divisional profit, KPI delivery, and customer satisfaction Total Package Potential: 300,000 (including performance bonus, car allowance, healthcare, and executive benefits) Environment: Entrepreneurial, dynamic, and commercially driven - a culture that rewards delivery, pace, and ownership. Why This Role This is a defining opportunity for a hands-on, operationally minded leader to take charge of a major division within one of the UK's most dynamic and fast-growing property services businesses. For the right candidate, it offers autonomy, challenge, and the chance to build people, performance, and culture as the company continues its nationwide expansion. If you are a proven operational leader who delivers results through visibility, pace, and accountability - and can evidence those achievements at every stage - this is the role that will define your next decade.

Head of Housing Strategy, Insight and Performance We're looking for a strategic, inclusive and forward-thinking leader to join Southampton City Council as Housing's Head of Strategy, Insight and Performance (SIP). This is a new and influential role, central to building the systems, insight and collaboration that will help Housing deliver better outcomes for residents across the city About the team The SIP function is new and central to Housing's operating model, which is based on a commissioning approach. Its purpose is to make Housing work as a coherent system - where we understand and prioritise demand, make best use of supply, and ensure every part of the service contributes to better outcomes for tenants and residents. SIP provides the backbone for how Housing plans, learns and improves. It brings together strategy, evidence, assurance and change into one coherent framework that supports purposeful decision-making and system-wide accountability. The function helps to align commissioning and delivery - ensuring that demand is clearly understood, resources are targeted effectively, and the supply chain, both internal and external, is used to best effect. SIP also helps Housing connect more effectively with the wider Council and partners, aligning priorities and insights across finance, customer services, regeneration, and asset strategy, as well as with external agencies and communities. This is not a traditional command role. Success depends on working through influence, trust and collaboration - aligning people and systems around shared goals and building the culture and capability needed for sustainable improvement. About the role In August 2024, the Regulator for Social Housing identified serious failings in how we met the consumer standards. We are using that judgement as a catalyst for long-term improvement - building a housing system that is self-aware, accountable and continually learning, so residents experience lasting improvements in their homes and neighbourhoods. As Head of SIP, you'll be a key member of the Housing Directorate Senior Leadership Team, leading a small but critical function covering strategy, policy, performance and assurance, change and improvement, and organisational capability. You'll ensure Housing makes the best use of its resources to deliver the greatest possible impact for residents - connecting priorities, investment and outcomes across services. You'll work with finance colleagues to plan, monitor and evaluate how budgets are used across the whole Housing system, helping ensure that every pound contributes to safer homes, better services and long-term sustainability. You'll align priorities and plans across the directorate, ensuring strategy and delivery are joined up and that our performance framework links purpose, critical success factors, measures and learning. You'll equip managers and teams with the insight, structures and tools to improve performance and manage risk. You'll also help shape the future of Housing in Southampton - using data, evidence and engagement to inform decisions, guide investment and focus effort where it makes the most difference. You'll lead through the Housing Drumbeat, ensuring governance drives learning and improvement rather than compliance alone. Success will depend on working with others - across Housing, the wider Council and partner organisations - to deliver impact that matters for residents. Together with the other Heads of Service, you'll help make Housing work as one coherent, learning system that connects commissioning with delivery. You'll lead teams to keep daily performance on track while driving deeper change - co-designing better ways of working, digital tools, integrated structures and a learning culture that supports the long-term realisation of Southampton's Housing strategy and wider city vision. Everything you do will contribute to Southampton's vision to be a city of opportunity where everyone thrives through more equal, healthier, safer, growing and greener communities. Key responsibilities include: Embed and improve the culture and practice within all Housing functions as set out in the Target Operating Model. Agree the strategic direction, roadmap of change, shared goals and priorities for Housing and budget (operating and capital) - based on horizon scanning, SCC Corporate Plan, Housing Strategy, Asset Strategy, the Change Story and priority of customer needs Embed structure of the performance framework (linking purpose, critical success factors, kpis' and commentary on unintended consequences) within Housing functions You will build relationships and collaborate with leaders across the Council, other public sector bodies and tenants to scan the horizon, agree priorities and mutual strategy.

Head of Housing Strategy, Insight and Performance We're looking for a strategic, inclusive and forward-thinking leader to join Southampton City Council as Housing's Head of Strategy, Insight and Performance (SIP). This is a new and influential role, central to building the systems, insight and collaboration that will help Housing deliver better outcomes for residents across the city About the team The SIP function is new and central to Housing's operating model, which is based on a commissioning approach. Its purpose is to make Housing work as a coherent system - where we understand and prioritise demand, make best use of supply, and ensure every part of the service contributes to better outcomes for tenants and residents. SIP provides the backbone for how Housing plans, learns and improves. It brings together strategy, evidence, assurance and change into one coherent framework that supports purposeful decision-making and system-wide accountability. The function helps to align commissioning and delivery - ensuring that demand is clearly understood, resources are targeted effectively, and the supply chain, both internal and external, is used to best effect. SIP also helps Housing connect more effectively with the wider Council and partners, aligning priorities and insights across finance, customer services, regeneration, and asset strategy, as well as with external agencies and communities. This is not a traditional command role. Success depends on working through influence, trust and collaboration - aligning people and systems around shared goals and building the culture and capability needed for sustainable improvement. About the role In August 2024, the Regulator for Social Housing identified serious failings in how we met the consumer standards. We are using that judgement as a catalyst for long-term improvement - building a housing system that is self-aware, accountable and continually learning, so residents experience lasting improvements in their homes and neighbourhoods. As Head of SIP, you'll be a key member of the Housing Directorate Senior Leadership Team, leading a small but critical function covering strategy, policy, performance and assurance, change and improvement, and organisational capability. You'll ensure Housing makes the best use of its resources to deliver the greatest possible impact for residents - connecting priorities, investment and outcomes across services. You'll work with finance colleagues to plan, monitor and evaluate how budgets are used across the whole Housing system, helping ensure that every pound contributes to safer homes, better services and long-term sustainability. You'll align priorities and plans across the directorate, ensuring strategy and delivery are joined up and that our performance framework links purpose, critical success factors, measures and learning. You'll equip managers and teams with the insight, structures and tools to improve performance and manage risk. You'll also help shape the future of Housing in Southampton - using data, evidence and engagement to inform decisions, guide investment and focus effort where it makes the most difference. You'll lead through the Housing Drumbeat, ensuring governance drives learning and improvement rather than compliance alone. Success will depend on working with others - across Housing, the wider Council and partner organisations - to deliver impact that matters for residents. Together with the other Heads of Service, you'll help make Housing work as one coherent, learning system that connects commissioning with delivery. You'll lead teams to keep daily performance on track while driving deeper change - co-designing better ways of working, digital tools, integrated structures and a learning culture that supports the long-term realisation of Southampton's Housing strategy and wider city vision. Everything you do will contribute to Southampton's vision to be a city of opportunity where everyone thrives through more equal, healthier, safer, growing and greener communities. Key responsibilities include: Embed and improve the culture and practice within all Housing functions as set out in the Target Operating Model. Agree the strategic direction, roadmap of change, shared goals and priorities for Housing and budget (operating and capital) - based on horizon scanning, SCC Corporate Plan, Housing Strategy, Asset Strategy, the Change Story and priority of customer needs Embed structure of the performance framework (linking purpose, critical success factors, kpis' and commentary on unintended consequences) within Housing functions You will build relationships and collaborate with leaders across the Council, other public sector bodies and tenants to scan the horizon, agree priorities and mutual strategy.

The business has built an exceptional reputation through a clear, results-focused formula: operational excellence, accountability, and pace. It has evolved from its regional roots into a nationally recognised player, trusted by major social housing providers, local authorities, and large-scale student accommodation operators. The company continues to expand nationally while retaining the family values, transparency, and "can-do" attitude that underpin its success. This is not a corporate environment - it is a high-performance, entrepreneurial business that values action, ownership, and delivery. Decisions are made quickly. Leaders are expected to be visible, engaged, and operationally involved. It's a culture built on credibility through results, where respect is earned through delivery, not title. The Opportunity The Divisional Managing Director - Repairs or Voids will take full operational and commercial leadership of one of the company's largest business areas. Reporting to the Managing Director, you will oversee multiple regions, contracts, and customer portfolios, ensuring service excellence, profitability, and performance consistency across the division. You will lead and develop a team of Business Unit Directors, Contract Managers, and operational delivery leaders, mentoring and coaching them to strengthen capability and ensure succession as the business extends its national reach. This is a high-visibility operational leadership role, not a detached strategic post. You will be regularly in the field, with teams and clients, diagnosing performance issues early, resolving service challenges, and reinforcing delivery standards. You will personally drive service improvement, customer satisfaction, and workforce engagement while maintaining commercial control. You will act as the operational heartbeat of the business - setting the tone for pace, standards, and accountability, and ensuring that our client's reputation for reliability and responsiveness continues to set it apart from competitors.

You have come up through the ranks, led front-line delivery, and now oversee large service operations where quality, customer outcomes, and financial performance are measured daily. You lead through credibility and presence, not position. You take ownership, build trust, and are at your best where the pressure is high and results are visible. You'll bring a track record of running multi-million-pound business units or divisions, leading large, distributed operational teams, and delivering measurable improvement in customer satisfaction, service reliability, and profitability. Relevant Backgrounds You will come from a service-based, operationally intensive industry where success depends on visible leadership, measurable delivery, and client trust.

Property Maintenance, Engineering, or Construction Services: Multi-trade or M&E repairs and refurbishment across housing, commercial, or student accommodation portfolios. Utilities or Infrastructure Services: Large-scale, regulated field operations with high compliance and customer-impact sensitivity. Outsourced Service Providers (with tangible delivery operations): Multi-contract businesses where service quality and responsiveness directly drive retention and growth. Third-Party Contract Logistics / Supply Chain Operations: Multi-site, time-critical delivery environments with full P&L and people accountability. Multi-Site Manufacturing, Production, or Automotive Services (with technical or trades workforces): Operational leadership across multiple plants or service centres, focused on performance, productivity, and quality. Aviation MRO or Complex Multi-Site Technical Services: Maintenance and repair environments requiring pace, precision, and compliance. Each of these environments demands what our client values most: pace, accountability, operational ownership, and high-trust leadership that drives people and performance. The Person Proven ability to lead large, front-line teams and manage multi-million-pound P&Ls. Hands-on, visible, and engaged - a leader who earns credibility on the ground. Skilled in troubleshooting and operational problem-solving; proactive in addressing performance and client issues. Strong communicator and relationship-builder with clients, partners, and internal teams. Experienced in mentoring and developing senior managers and operational leaders. Commercially disciplined - able to balance service quality with efficiency and cost control. Resilient, pragmatic, and unflustered under pressure. Straightforward, clear, and consistent in expectations and decision-making. You will lead from the front, inspire confidence through action, and bring a winning mindset to every challenge. Selection Process & Expectations This appointment is business-critical and will involve an intensive, multi-stage selection process. Candidates should expect to demonstrate tangible, evidence-based achievements at each stage. We are seeking proven winners - operational leaders who can clearly show how they have delivered measurable improvements in: Service and operational performance Business growth and margin improvement People development and succession planning Customer satisfaction and retention Supporting commercial teams to secure and retain contracts through outstanding delivery Applicants who can provide specific, quantifiable examples of where they have achieved these results will be prioritised. This is a role for a doer, not a talker - a leader who leads by example and produces results through visibility, accountability, and action. What's on Offer Base Salary: 200,000 - 220,000 Performance Bonus: Based on divisional profit, KPI delivery, and customer satisfaction Total Package Potential: 300,000 (including performance bonus, car allowance, healthcare, and executive benefits) Environment: Entrepreneurial, dynamic, and commercially driven - a culture that rewards delivery, pace, and ownership.
