Housing Asset Management Strategy Consultant Outside IR35 Local Authority We are working with a London local authority that needs an experienced Housing Asset Management professional to develop a new strategic approach to its housing stock. The HRA is in good shape and a tenancy strategy is already in place, but the organisation now requires a clear, evidence-based Asset Management Strategy. The consultant will provide independent advice and work closely with senior leaders, primarily reporting to the Assistant Director for Housing. The role involves reviewing the current position, completing a gap analysis, assessing risks and opportunities, and setting out practical recommendations for the next decade. This includes advising on decarbonisation and retrofit planning, the use of emerging technologies, and the best way to integrate stock condition data, which is currently around 37 percent complete. Candidates should have a strong asset management background at a senior level, either within a local authority or a housing association. Those from a housing association setting will need to understand local government funding and constraints. The Council is looking for someone who can challenge existing thinking, work independently and shape a clear long-term direction for its housing assets. If you are interested in a focused strategic assignment with the opportunity to influence future planning across the whole housing portfolio, this role would be a good match.
